Oh-so-pretty!

Spring has sprung! Woohoo! Here's our resident cheeky gardener Pat amongst the flowers at Crossroads. It's all looking lovely. Nice work Pat!

Bridge to Brisbane

The annual Bridge to Brisbane took place on Sunday 11th September

And wow, just look at all those people participating in such a good cause!

Oooh and lookie here! Crossroaders Mikaela and Beth are there!

Congratulations to both Mikaela and Beth on raising funds for the nominated charity Legacy and we're all very proud of your achievements! 10 kms? Yikes! I'm feeling awfully puffed just thinking about it! Well done girls!

Let's go bowling!

What to do when the weather isn't playing nicely and so the golfing plans had to be postponed at the last minute? Go bowling of course!

Katy

Ally
A 100-year-old woman from New Jersey has become the oldest competitor in the history of the United States Bowling Congress Women's Championships. While bowling she kept yelling at the pins, "Hey kids, get off my property!" (true story!)

And to finish off here's a little bowling tune by local band Wiseacre. Sing along! Sorry the quality isn't very good...

Gone Fishing...again...

Fishing has been a really popular option lately & this time the crew headed to the Woody Point Pier. Another gorgeous day in north BrisVegas!

Today we had this pretty assistant surveying the area for the best place to cast the lines (apologies if I'm not using the correct fishing terms here)

James baiting up & asking why the bait supply was running out so fast

Well, there's your answer James as to the dwindling bait supply. Mick has been feeding our smelly stash of prawn bits to our lovely assistant!

Everyone had a great time but unfortunately those sneaky fish just weren't biting today. Next fishing post will be a different story. We hope!

Gone Fishing...

The gang went fishing last week on the Bribie Island jetty. Sadly nobody caught anything but it was a beautiful day and everybody enjoyed themselves regardless. Oh, actually Tim caught a piece of seaweed so somebody DID catch something at least. And it was an impressive piece of seaweed! Onya Tim! The fish & chips lunch by the beach was rather tasty.

Happy Bastille Day!

How do aussies celebrate Bastille Day? Well I'm not sure how the rest of Australia celebrates, but we at Crossroads celebrated in style with a feast of fine french food, a little french music, some stripey shirts & an afternoon of water bomb fights! Water bombs may not be traditionally french, however, the spontaneity and frivolous fun of it all is very much what the french folk are all about I believe. A lovely day was had by all. Viva La France!
