Dreamworld - Part 2

After Rivertown we headed back to Main Street  then along to Ocean Parade.









From Ocean Parade we walked down to Tiger Island and were lucky enough to see the tiger walking around in the open.

Dreamworld - Part 1

We headed to the Gold Coast for the Pacific Airshow and while we are down here we decided to surprise Clay with a visit to Dreamworld.  They currently have a deal for annual passes for the price of a one day ticket, which means we can go for short periods each time we visit.  Clay was so excited when he found put we had brought tickets :)




We hopped on the train to have a look around and work out where all the different sections were.




Clay was really eager to go on the Jungle Rush coaster ride - so we headed there next.  It was Clay's first "big" coaster and it didn't go well...LOL 





Lunch was at a really cool jungle theme restaurant.










After lunch it was time for another ride - this one was much less traumatic LOL

Thrifty Thursday

I got to pop into 2 of my fave oppies on Saturday morning :)  At the first shop I finally found some Disney Little Golden Books- $2 each!! I've been searching for these for ages - I want to make some junk journals with them. 


Books for Clay $1 each - he's been reading this series at school and really enjoying them.


Books for me $3-$5 each.  I was surprised to find more Fleur McDonald books- I thought I had them all LOL 

At the 2nd shop I found craft goodies! Stamps $6 -


Dies $3-$4 each




Minnie Mouse ears $1 - I have a craft project in mind for these :)

A friend sent me a message that my local Harvey Norman had a table of discounted Cricut stock - so I popped in for a look :)  I brought a 3 pack of hats $5 and the packs of pens & vinyl were $10 each- bargains :)

Everyday Moments

I wanted to buy a fuse tool, but couldn't find any in stock online.  A Google search said that a soldering iron was a great alternative, so after some research and chatting with the techs I brought this one!! I can't wait to have a play with it :)


The puppies went for a long overdue grooming appt - they look so cute and very different! LOL It was Monty's first time and he did really well!



Corellas in the tree and on the powerline next to work one late afternoon.



Pretty winter sunsets :)


Dates with Craig :)  We went to see Super Troopers 3 and had lunch afterwards - so nice to spend time together.
