Australia Day - by the sea

After all the wet weather and floods, it was great to get out by the water (with about 1,000 of our closest friends) and play in kayaks, eat sausages and rissoles, drink (ginger) beer and have a generally good time.

The surf out on Currumbin Alley in the kayaks was a lot of fun too.

Lift

Today was about lifting the debris on the footpath onto the trucks to take it all away.

Our team of three added to the 50,000 volunteers who took to the streets today.
A good days work.

Mud

The sight confronting us at the first house to be cleaned up. This is the kitchen and dining - Shane and his family only bought the house 5 months ago. It is unsure if their insurance will cover it.

The finished mess after cleaning out the second house. The tenants arrived home from holidays while we were outside. They had not realised the extend of the damage and did not have insurance.
