Our arrival in Mackay was the start of several weeks of Barbagallo/Clive family time. We attended the wedding of our niece which was a lovely day even though it bucketed it down most of the day. The reception was a blast with the whole family there minus one sister.
After that we all packed up and headed off for a full family vacation to Airlie beach for four days. Unfortunately it rained for two of those but we still managed to have a fun time with the added bonus of none of us killing each other. 😂😂 We have another 2 nephews getting married over the next 6 months so we will all be seeing more of each other which will be nice!
Once everyone else went home Tim and I stayed on for a few more days to recuperate before heading back to the family farm to see Mum and Dad and then over to our family beach house for a week of mud crab catching and relaxing. I would have said fishing as well but we didn’t catch anything!
Once we had our fill of sun and sand we headed back to the farm for lots of golf and catching up with old school friends. We even managed a few little day trips around the area to tick off a few touristy things!
It was lovely heading home and getting to spend some quality time with my folks but all good things must come to an end so after raiding Dads veggie patch for some fresh produce we hooked up the van and started heading north! S
