Jules' pics - 2003 - plus Colleen's pics (first two)

Colleen, Mish, Shingi and Temba came to Queensland!
August 2003

BEST news for a long time - the Kensington crew are really, really, REALLY going to come and visit... countdown the months... weeks... days... they're HERE!! But... except a few ceremonial photos there's no way we can all fit on board Jeshan at the same time ... hmmm, what can be done about this?
Just get a bigger boat! So a deal was done with Queensland Yacht Charters at Airlie Beach... a plastic card was swiped repeatedly... and then Moonshadow was "ours" for four wonderful days of sailing around the Whitsunday Islands.
	Light winds, blue sky, sails above our heads, plenty of food on the table, and a snorkelling paradise below the water... it was superb!!

And then... just for a change of pace (and because we had to give the boat back!) we went camping in the bush and swimming in freshwater creeks and hiking in the Paluma rainforest.

That bit was followed by city lights and big meals in Cairns, the SkyRail over-the-rainforest-canopy experience, Kuranda's tourist village and historic railway trip back to Cairns for Colleen, Temba and Jules, plus whitewater river rafting for Mish and Shingi.

Then the VIP visitors went off for more adventures in Sydney, and Jules went back to school.

And altogether it was a VERY HAPPY whole LOT of days -- thanks SO much for coming!!
