Andy and Ben chilling out in the hammock!
December 2006
Into summer now and the temperatures seem to immediately jump 5 degrees as we pass December the first. It is still extremely dry with the water restrictions still on since we arrived here! I think we’ve had about 4 or 5 days with rain since May. All the Christmas lights and decorations are up in town which is still very odd to see in this searing heat. We still have to put our tree up, but have received some lovely Christmas cards already – thanks to everyone who has sent us one, it means so much more when we are over here to receive cards, I love going to our mail box at this time of year!
I went along to carol singing rehearsals and sang at the Moranbah Carol Service in the park last weekend which was nice and I started feeling a little Christmassy! It was also nice to sing again after a long time away.
Work-wise, I have been working on a project at the Community Health Centre called 10,000 Steps which is a challenge where people wear pedometers and try and aim for 10,000 Steps a day, or just to walk more than they do at the moment to improve their health and fitness. We ran a team challenge in Moranbah where teams of 6-8 from the community and workplaces tried to walk from Port Douglas (North Queensland) to Hobart (Tasmania) in 6 weeks – an equivalent of 3.8 million steps! I was co-ordinating the challenge, setting up the teams on-line and producing a weekly newsletter. There were a total of 62 teams and 452 people taking part so it was a good challenge! At the end we organised a presentation breakfast for everyone and I devised a treasure hunt around Moranbah! It was a really fun project to be involved with and I am relieved to say that the breakfast and treasure hunt went really well!
