I know I could have put this elsewhere but then maybe no one would see the delicious MF and her equally delicious DH in Cairns with Gert.
Here we are at the scenic railway station.(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/06/30/5a9eqegu.jpg)

And a wholly unexpected and richly undeserved prezzie for moi. And a collectors edition as that. A quick look tells me it is more useful to me than the Sally Wise book. I just happen to have some Osso Bucco in the freezer. Dinner any one?

OK, let the adventure begin - where's the photo Gretchen?
-
Just you were too quick for me. Had to go to Tapatalk first!
Now you is happy.
Gert

And a gal who knows what it is all about.(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/06/30/nujunene.jpg)
Since MF was so generous to me I felt I had to give her something from my house so I gave her this
(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/06/30/e7emamy7.jpg)
No doubt she would have preferred the remaining snake skin in a handbag size but it is not always about the size is it girls?
Gert
-
Yes, happy now Gretchen :D :D What lovely pictures of you all, thanks for posting. It's nice to see DH's too.
Well the holiday looks as if it is off to a good start, drink in hand and ready to go MF. Have fun
-

So great to see you finally found MAMA FERGIE - at long last !! . . and who is this "MF" of whom ye speak?? (If you get my drift, MF!! ;) ;) ;D ;D)
Seriously, really lovely photos, Gert - thanks for posting. And now, if it's possible, Mama Fergie and her DH might continue posting here so we can follow their travels in the great far north east of Oz. (or perhaps post some photos after they return to the west!)
-
Just in from MF.(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/06/30/yje3eput.jpg)
Shhhhhh. I don't think MF knows this thread is here. I my have to delete it all!!!!

Great photos Gert.
Glad to see everyone having such a nice time.
-
Ha ha you got me on this one Gert!
I just came on for the first time now and found this thread and all your photos :D
DH laughed too.
On a serious note we had a wonderful day with Gert and her lovely DH. They very kindly picked us up and took us to the station to catch the train to Kuranda and then took us to a lovely restaurant overlooking the Coral Sea at Trinity Beach for lunch. Great food and fantastic company and you can't get better than that :D
Who needs Mr Google for directions when we have Gert helping. She very kindly sent me directions from the airport to our hotel. Then directions from hotel to the Skyrail station and also from there to the villa we are staying in here at Port Douglas. What a wonderful welcome to FNQ
A very kind lady. Thank you Gert :D
-
Aw shucks. Too kind. Lovely to have visitors up here so we can show off our weather, beautiful rainforest and a rare restaurant that serves decent non touristy food at a sensible price. You are welcome.
Gert
-
Great photos, and great to see you and DH. Have a lovely holiday MF
-
Great photos Gert, thanks for including us all in MF's holiday.
-
FNQ is an amazing place and to have Gert and her DH it is a super amazing place.
-
It is very beautiful cookie and we had a wonderful day today with Gert and Ted. Their home is lovely in a beautiful location.
Who would have thought when I had my TMX delivered 12 months ago that it would have opened up such friendships around not only Australia but overseas as well.
Tomorrow we will see Port Douglas as we haven't gotten there yet. Our friends villa is about 3km from town. It's so lovely I don't want to leave :)
-
Fantastic thanks Gert and MF for sharing
-
Great photos. Thanks for sharing Gert.
Have a lovely holiday MF.

Gert

Lovely to see photos :)

Having a great time here it is such a beautiful place.

Looking forward to more photos.

Thanks ladies its a lovely part of the country.
Yes Cuilidh it seems like no time at all since I was away with my mum.
Time really does go quicker the older we become ;)

(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/07/03/6uhubu4u.jpg)
(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/07/03/basyhu6u.jpg)
We had coffee and muffins and met her DH and two children. A lovely drive from Port Douglas. Thanks Robyn
-
Glad you had a nice visit thanks for sharing :)
-
Lovely photos girls. Nice to see where you chat to us Robyn. :D
Robyn, what is the pink cage thingy outside the shop?
-
I didn't even notice that pink thingy until you mentioned it Michele :)
-
Well, being pink, I know it's something very Robyn :D
Obbie could change her name to "The Pink Robyn" :D
(good song here) The pink, pink, Robyn that's Thermomixing along. ;D
-
A thing to put Horse hay in Michelle. :)
Need to loose some weight now.
Yes love pink..
-
Robyn, seems too pretty to put horse hay in.
-
Thanks for the photos ladies, great to be able to follow along with your holiday MF.
-
It's been great meeting 2 forum friends Wonder.
Sorry to hear we won't be meeting you in Adelaide. Maybe next year :)
Hope you enjoy your work trip.
-
How lovely of you to make that long trip down (or is that over?) to see Robyn MF - anyone else up that way you need to call in to meet? ;D By the end of Melbourne and Adelaide you will have notched up quite a few meet and greets.
-
Lovely photos Mama Fergie, I can see you have the forum on the screen Obbie. It was wonderful that you were able to have a get together.
Marie
-
Nobody else that I know of Judy. :o
It was a lovely drive over and down direction wise. Around 2 hours each way. The way back was longer than the route we took on the way there but we didn't want to go back the same way.
Looking forward to meeting lots more lovely people in Adelaide :D
-
Lovely photos of you both MF and obbie.
-
Lovely photos Mama Fergie, I can see you have the forum on the screen Obbie. It was wonderful that you were able to have a get together.

I particularly asked Robyn if we could have a photo of her on the forum and she happily agreed. I thought it would be fun to see where she spends her forum time Marie.
Nice to be able to post photos of members and very happy that the lovely Gert opened this thread ;D
Thanks ladies
-
Thanks for the photos girls. Isn't it ever so beautiful up there MF? Quirky Jo is up that way too.
-
It's gorgeous Cookie we are loving it. :D
Australia is an amazing country.
Where is Quirky Jo?
Won't have time this trip as we leave on Sunday and have plans tomorrow and Friday but maybe next time. :D
Yes DH doesn't know it yet but there will be a next time ;)
-
Near Atherton somewhere. Not Mareeba but something else that starts with M. May be Malani or something similar. Near the beautiful waterfalls.
-
We were over that way today cookie as Robyn is only 10 minutes from Atherton.
Will look at the map. Would have been nice to have popped in to see her today as we were obviously pretty close by.
Unfortunately no time this week but there is always next time :D
Thanks cookie

Could it be Malanda cookie?
We were so close to there today.
-
What a shame MF - killing 2 birds with 1 stone today would have been great.
-
MF how wonderful that you are getting to spend some time with forum friends! Love FNQ!
I go on hols Friday night, two more jam packed days at work before then though!
-
Yes MF it was Malanda. I think she is somewhere round there.
-

Have a fantastic holiday GHM and maybe we can meet up when you get back.
Has been amazing catching up with Obbie and Gert already and more to come.
-
It was great fun, Quirky Jo is in Malanda.
She is really tall, but tiny too. :)
Can't wait for next time.
-
So good to "see" you, Robyn - lovely photos!!
Cookie . . I've always referred DD to "Quirky Jo" much to her and DS's amusement . . . glad to see I have company for such an affectionate term for such a lovely, talented and energetic lady!! ;D

Good one MF, nice to see both your happy, smiley faces. Obbie doesn't get too many visitors up there so it would have been a great treat for her.

Just back from a lovely lunch at Salsa Port Douglas with Gert and her DH Ted.
3 hour lunch with lovely food, wine and great company.
They are on their way back to Cairns now so I thought I would get this in first. !
A bit dark to see properly but a beautiful spot.

Great photo, sounds like you had another lovely lunch.

Lovely photo of two lovely TMX friends. What a great way to spend the day :D

A lovely lunch was had. Great food. Lively conversation and yummy wines.
Thank you MF and DH good fun.

LOL ;D

Looks lovely. Thanks for all the photos - wish I could join you for lunch in the sunshine instead of the cold, wet and windy weather we are having here at the moment. Have a glass of bubbles for me and pack your thermals for Adelaide!
-
Lovely to see the photos and great you got to catch up twice :)
-
Thermals and boots on my list ES and lots of bubbles while we are there.
Looking forward to meeting you and all the others.
Maybe Gert can pack some FNQ sunshine and bring it with her.
I think Perth had rain too, maybe that was yesterday. Can't keep up with what my kids tell me on the phone. ;)
-
The rain was several days ago MF but you need your thermals.
Thanks Gert and MF for the photos. I love seeing them.

Lovely photos girls and the food looks great too. Nice to see the guys smiling too.

Great photos, looks like you had a great time.

Was beautiful and sunny this morning in Melboure but very cold, starting to cloud over a bit so not sure what the rest of the day will bring.
-
Had a lazy morning then went for a drive and had lunch in a beautiful location😉

Sounds wonderful MF. Lovely views out to the water. :)

A beautiful location and restaurant Michele.
Gert and DH introduced us to this place last week and we just had to go back ;D

I love the colour of the water.

Looks lovely with the contrast of the trees cookie.

I love it in paradise.....

We are all so lucky to live in this beautiful country each state with its own beauty.
A true paradise :)
