The MnM Story
Day 3The Sunners, Rosemary (Row) and Paul, live in a botanic garden like setting in a semi rural area called Habana outside Mackay. Wide timber decks surround the house, with inviting spots to sit and stare at the soft rain falling. McAulay is particularly entranced by a beautiful stand of slender gums.
The Griffiins, Marg (Byrne) and Ken, live just up the road in an equally bucolic setting, with expansive views. Marg and Ken joined us for dinner last night, and today, the women had lunch at the Griffin house.
Solid four-way talk for close on four hours. Covered everything. Caught up on all our lives. The Griffins won a Brigalow lot ballot back in the seventies, and spent four decades developing a flourishing cattle property. Four children were born while they lived in a shed with neither running water nor grid power. Everyone thrived! The Sunners have reared four sons, and now their lives feature four-wheel driving trekking with the extended family - all sixteen of them went to the tip of Cape York last year. They travel in a pack!
