Uncle Vince and Jandowae!

The long overdue trip to Jandowae happened on the wettest weekend I think have ever seen out there. Jandowae is about 4hrs west of Brisvegas and where the Healy family originates. Being on the very flat black soil plains of the Darling Downs when it rains the water forms great sheets a few inches deep and hundreds of acres across and moves across the landscape like a muddy, stubbly milkshake. So the numerous floodways between Dalby and Jandowae kept T's interest up!

Eventually though we got to Uncle Vince's place at Jandowae (after a stop at Toowoomba for 2nd breakfast - love the country!) ... and the most amazing thing happened... Nicholas was lifted out of the car and with a quick look snuggled straight into Uncle Vince's shoulder! Maybe it was the honest country boy looks?! It's a rare thing for him to lunge for a cuddle without much of an introduction! The little fella was even going to him for consolation after a few wayward adventures into coffee tables, door posts etc!

Seeing the home town was great - and it sure is looking good with all that rain! Loved the hospitality and we'll be back soon!
