Hello from Cairns
My Lovely Wife and Terrific Son are going down south to Adelaide
They are really looking forward to the trip and seeing you all
However, not one person has asked why Geoffrey Gerald Gerard Roneberg is not going !!
Really sad, but I guess this song says it all ...
"Nobody Likes Me - Everybody Hates Me"

Hi Cousins
I am so looking forward to next weekend !!
I decided to put this link up from our Family Website
The article was in our local newspaper late last year
It is about Brett ... and a little about Tanya too
Don't tell Brett I put it up ... HaHa ... he will be cranky with me !!

Erina Newnham
HaHa !!

Julianne Sonntag
It will be great to see you !!

Note from Geoff
Sharon is also Very Damn Excited About These Three Days !!
( but too much luggage, eh !! )

Erina Newnham
Not too much, Geoff
With the changeable weather, it will be needed !!

Note from Geoff
Yep, got a laugh here, Erina ... well, she will have Outfits for Everybody !!
But got to be honest sometimes, eh ??
All she is taking is one very small bag a bit smaller than the green one in the above photo
The rest of the bags have her Makeup in them !!

Thursday 31st January 2019

Note from Sharon
Only one more sleep !!
I am so looking forward to seeing you all !!
It has rained for eight days straight ... lots of water around up here
Wish we could send some down your way
If anything stops our flights leaving I am going to be mightily peeved-off !!
I have been assured by those in the know that all will be well
See Ya

Fiona Pearce
I'm all packed too
Just bringing the heat with me from the west ... sorry !!

Erina Newnham
Bring some rain down to this desert state, Sharon ... and hope you’re not held up
No heat needed, Fiona !! ... I was in Perth this time last year
Look forward to seeing you all

Fiona Pearce
Should we bring our own batteries ... to keep the power on ??

Erina Newnham
I thought you may be referring to that !!
During the last heatwave there were no problems amazingly

Friday 1st February 2019

Note from Geoff
Two Photos below
Saying "hi" to Tanya ... and look who is at the Cairns Airport !!









Erina Newnham
You’re all rugged up, Sharon
Hope you have something summery packed ??

Note from Geoff
Yeh, Erina, she has three mini-kinis in her luggage
They should be okay, eh ??

Erina Newnham
HaHa !! ... Wow !!

Fiona Pearce
Hope tomorrow's lunch is nicer !!



Sending this from on board the flight from Western Australia with wifi !!

Erina Newnham
We won’t have plastic cups or cardboard plates, I hope !!

Erina Newnham
Yes !! ... Loved It ... but went too quickly !!
Next time we can charter a plane to Perth and Cairns and Kingaroy for Peter !!
