Bunya Mountains
Each year for the past few years a group of us have gone to the Bunya Mountains for a short break. There were four families this year. All around the same age and most of the kids at similar ages too.
These were the same people I used to go away with for drunken weekends at Coolum. We always stayed at the Coolum pub and regularly swam nude in the pool, late at night. (It was very dark, so nobody saw anything.)
It’s really very comforting to see that they are facing the same issues we are. Balancing lifestyle and income. Working at careers and spending time with kids. Finding time to spend on their relationships.
We were up there for four days. It usually takes me just about that long to get sick of people and want to retreat to my introverted normality. I didn’t get that feeling this time. I think I could have happily stayed another week. Bring on next year.
