QCar: November 2008

The November trip was to Normanville and Second valley via Moana weir. Lunch was scheduled for St Leonard's Mill, but that seems to be a victim of the current nonsense (ie shut) so the Normanville Kiosk was fine, if a wee bit disorganised. We then proceeded to Second Valley and a short walk along the coastline to the ruins of the amazing old boat sheds. It was on the way to the sheds that Lucy (QCar's proud mascot) jumped / fell / was pushed into the ocean requiring a dramatic rescue by Julie, assisted by Graeme. You will be pleased to know, Lucy recovered in seconds and continued to enjoy a good run and roll on the beach. (Not sure about Julie). We had coffee and ice cream at the Second Valley kiosk before our journey home. The Bambino did an excellent job on the hills, even if it was in the bike lane a lot of the way and as the photos of it with Rod's Merc and Julie's Golf - it would appear size does matter! Don's new Merc was afforded it's well deserved accolades amid the great collection of the 'usual suspects'. Another great day. Thanks Rod.
