We drove to 1770 the next day which is another little town by the coast.

Mar 6, 2007 - Mackay

Off to Mackay today - to see Kate - who stayed with me for a while 2 years ago - really looking forward to catching up with her and to see how she is doing. ... I have been completely spoilt - which has been lovely! Kate met me at the airport and we drove to her parents house - who live about 40 minutes out of Mackay. ... Her Mum and Dad are both Dr's and run a practice in Mackay - so drive out each evening to their home. ... We came back to Mackay in the evening to Kate and Chris's pad. ... Yesterday, we continued our sight-seeing of the Mackay area and met up with some of Kate's chums for lunch - the girls are all journalists - they know pretty much everything that is going on in Mackay! We then continued the traditional that we had established by having a another swim and realxing by the pool whilst drinking a glass of wine. ...
