Summer Activities

 This is a collation of being out and about, trying to beat the heat and humidity, that we are at present experiencing.

Wednesday 6 December

4pm meet up in the city. The temperature was 33C as we left home. Thankfully a cool breeze off the river and shady paths, made this walk much more pleasant than anticipated. Our goal was to walk via the Kangaroo Point Cliffs, ferry to Riverside and then walk to Edward Street to search for the 6 new Tiny Doors, with a Christmas theme. 10 km walked.

The hunt begins.

These two had been removed 3 days after placed in position. The thought was that they had been stolen. It appears that the Mall cleaners had removed them. Joc has since found them.

So what do the Hungry Hikers do after a hike? Of course they look for food. A visit followed to the City Hall Christmas Tree.

No, not this one.

This week the Gaiter Girls only had a short local walk at 5.30 am. We needed to do the final organisation for a friends 70th High Tea this afternoon. It's out doors, so please, no storm!

As we set off, this flowering gum had to be photographed.

It has been 35 C all week, so the Hungry Hikers set off walking the Wynnum foreshore at 5pm. Again it was still hot, but a breeze off the bay kept us comfortable. The sky was unusually beautiful for such a hot afternoon.

Fish 'n chips was to follow, but everyone had decided to bring some nibbles and bubbles. The fish 'n chips would have been too hot to enjoy! It was just so lovely under the massive fig trees covered in fairy lights.

Friday 15th

A storm about 5pm brought some relief, and 18ml. A very pleasant storm for us, but the inner city was not so fortunate. A super cell whipped through with winds of 160k/h! Christmas will be a sad time for many.

Saturday 16 th

I could hear thunder rumbling so went to investigate.

1.30 pm

4pm - storm's arival, but we were only on the edge. Great to watch though.

I would love to read your comment.
