Nearing years' end. 2012

We are in the last week of school camps for the year and it's time to slow things down a bit, enjoy the quieter times, and get some more renovations done.
Keeping up the finer details has been a priority this year. Flowers, nice things, aesthetics.
Jasmin grew a fantastic Pink Pineapple, we couldn't resist but to make it a table display. Wild, colorful and spiky, a bit like her.

 
There are some beautiful roses blooming now. We are loving the fragrance.



The entire activity staff re-newed their first aid training for another year. Compressions, rescue breaths, hard- fast - don't stop was the main message.
 Troy demonstrated his delicate technique on the baby dummy.
Lots of theory - breaks, bites, fits, attacks, all covered.

 
Two of our activity crew, Rina and Jesse, had their first climbing session at Mt. Coolum.
I think they might get hooked.
 
Rina finds some balance and technique.
 

It's all about strength, flexability and confidence.
 
Jesse gets stuck into some steep stuff.

2012 another year down

After knuckling down for another full year of school camps, it was time for the staff to be looked after, if only for one night of the year.
No teetering piles of dishes, no bins to take out, no dawn start.
Just a relaxing night at the Indian Palace at Eumundi.
