Sue's 50th - Looong weekend

Last weekend - starting on Friday, we set off to the Hinterland - to the area they call The Scenic Rim to celebrate cousin in law - Sue's 50th birthday. Over 60 people were there, staying in permanent tents (including our 86 and 85 yr old aunts) vans or their own tents and very fortunately the weather was quite good compared to the coast, where floods were the order of the weekend. It was a fun couple of days - everyone enjoyed themselves, including my godmother, her first camping trip - aged 86!!.
