A bunch of friends journeyed up from the Hunter Valley, Central Coast and Melbourne to stay with us for a few days over New Years and to have fun at the Tropical Fruits danceparty held at the Lismore Showground on NYE. Enjoying breakfast on the deck on NYE morning are Steve in his jarmies, Murray and Michael (piglet) from Somersby, at the end of the table is Andrew from near Kurri, John from Melbourne and Lee, also from near Kurri.
Later that morning we headed up to Border Ranges National Park to do the Barr Mountain walk...alas bad knees and leeches saw Lee and Michael turn around fairly early in the trip, leaving only Murray, Andrew and I to complete the walk.
And here we are before heading out to the Tropical Fruits Dance..singlets were the top of choice for most of us. It was a great night though we didn't stay to the end, coming home around 4.00am (we are getting old)...then Steve, John and Warwick (who didn't arrive until nearly midnight and stayed at Maryville with a couple of glasses of champers and a Bette Midler movie) headed out to the recovery party the next night, but we were home by 11pm (yes we are getting old)! Had breakfast in Kyogle with all the boys before all except for John and Warwick headed off home..then the four of us remaining enjoyed a delish lunch at Utopia in Bangalow before a few G and Ts with our friends Stewart and Matt (who had in fact been introduced to us by Warwick and John) at their lovely property in Georgica in the Jiggi Valley. John and Warwick flew back to Melbourne today after looking at some real estate in the booyong/Clunes area.
