Monday27th. Most people are leaving camp today. Always sad when the Circus leaves town. Sadly sme are going straight home but others are off on excursions. Bob &Jean are on a Harley Davidson ride around Sydney. Peter and Jill are climbing to the top of the Harbour Bridge. We fly up to the Gold coast - Surfers Paradise. We have been lent a one bed appartment on the 9th floor of a 14 floor block just a few minutes walk from the beach. When we walked into the appartment the blinds were drawnand when M pulled them back she let out a squeal of delight. There before us was the most fantastic vista lokking inland over the river/canals to the distant hills. Lots of pictures and will try to include some if it doesn't take up too much of the time that I am allowed on this connection. As soon as we have dumped our luggage we hot foot it to the beach. Soft white sand as far as the eye can see in both directions and so we have a paddle in the Pacific.
