Recently we made a road trip to Townsville to help celebrate a 60th birthday of a longtime friend, Kev Smith. We've known Kev from the late 1970's and he also is a very good dental prosthiesist who does some top work on Dave's teeth.
We were treated to some fabulous food which was mainly Thai cuisine. After we had eaten and drunk to our heart's content Kev said a few words.

| Some of the magnificent sweets that were served - they were all home made. Note the fruit and vegie creation at the front, the watermelon, sweet potato and carrots were all carved into flowers. |
The party was mainly a gathering of Kev's friends, colleagues and many of his large family. A photo missing was of his grandchild of 7 months, young Jackson. He is a real cutie as most kids are who aren't mobile.

We stayed at a great resort on the Riverway in Thuringowa. Itara Apartments were beside the Ross river surrounded by walkways and tropical gardens. It was a popular haunt for locals and visitors and we spent our fair share of frequenting the paths. It was a beautiful spot.

We had a lovely relaxing time over three days in the semi tropics with idyllic weather. During the time there we also managed to spend time with another fellow of the same vintage - Dubbo.
