Andy comes to visit

Meet Andy, those who don't know him. I first met Andy way back when he was a 17 year old interested in rock-related activities and I was a camp instructor. He's now one month shy of his 40th - well preserved boy isn't he. Anyways, we finally managed to persuade him to come and visit us, so he hopped on the XPT last Thursday afternoon and I meeted and greeted him at 4.35 at Kyogle Station. Because I had to get up so early to pick him up he had to do garden duty.
Oh, but Andy loved the spa. All that sparkling clear, warm, bubbly water...actually here he is desperately trying to get out but the force of the water was holding him in like some hungry whirlpool. Note the glass of champagne in Glen's hand. One word: lush.

Monday afternoon saw us drive up to the Border Ranges National Park, which is about 20 minutes up the road from us. Here we are enjoying the spectacular view at Pinnacle Lookout.


And again, admiring the work of millions of years of geothermal activity. Steve put Andy back on the XPT this morning, Tuesday.
