all about me

Hi every one--I am new to vt but not new to travel.

I am 63 years old & have been married to my wonderful husband Joe for
37 years.

We have had wonderful family holidays through out Australia while our three children were growing up.

For the past 20years we have travelled on our own through Malaysia and Singapore--and have enjoyed cruises in the South Pacific.

Our interests vary from horseriding to having a dinner and a flutter at a casino.

We love meeting new people from around the world ---just to let you know that when we married in 1970 our guests and good friends came from India-Wales-England-Italy-Spain-Holland-Poland-America-Africa and all over Australia.we had a very cultural wedding day. We got some interesting gifts too( a pouch of sand from Kenya for good luck) this would not be allowed today.

I plan to get a photo put in but I will need help to do it--another day.
If you wish to know anything about where I am from please ask.

We live in the tropics Cairns Australia and we love it here.
It is our cyclone season now and it is hot and humid--when we get a tropical down pour of rain we can hardly hear anyone speaking it is so loud.

Any way we are going on a trip to Europe this year --on a coach tour--we are really looking forward to it so hope to catch up with other vt travellers and share experiences.

Bye for now

Dorrise

 You'd be tired of the long 'wet' by now, eh, Dorrise. Still some highways closed? In T'ville in the 50's we were often cut off rail and road . Before Burdekin Bridge! Ready for Europe ?

 Hi Dorrise - Thanks very much for the comment. Great to see another QLDer on here. I love Cairns its so beautiful up that end of the state. A lot of my family are from up there, including Gordonvale (not far from Cairns). Take Care :)

 Happy New Year! Glad to discover you live in Cairns. I was there in 2000 for my girlfriend Margaret's 50th birthday and we had a marvellous time.

 Happy New Year Dorrise! Thanks again for all of your help on the forum. My list of waterfalls is getting long!! How long should I give myself to visit Australia properly (realistically!!)? :-)
