Burrill Lake is only about 280 kms from Mount Coalh It's full of bird life and native animals We take our canoe with us and paddle around a bit. Burril Lake (the township) also has a fiarly decent beach.
We also get in a couple of games of tennis. A walk along Burril Beach It's a bit crowded right now We eat out mostly.
There are lots of kangaroos at the beach. The native bushland still goes to the water's edge and is not developed (ruined) Jenni photographs a wild kangaroo. It's too easy to forget that these are wild animals and not domesticated pets. 1993 0028 a These animals are here because their homes are here, that is trees growing to the water's edge.

It goes well and I'm pleased. OMG look at the thinning hair and the baldness appearing under a few strands of hair. I take my new piped model to the Australian Nations end December 1993. It's the first of a series of planes like this and I'm full of hope that I will do well. Spoiler: Jaws music plays in the background. 1993 &nbsp At the Australian Quality Awards. Just as well that I learned as much as I could about this latest management fad - it served me well when I had a change of career. Another new plane that I built this year. I once could build two new planes in a year; ain't like that no more.
