Uher Family Down Under


The past two weeks we have had a wonderful time with the Uher Family Down Under! The first weekend we spent the evenings introducing our family to our great friends that we have met here in Gladstone, and we spent the days in the sun of course! :) One day we "hired" aka rented a pontoon boat and spent the day at Lake Awoonga. When we first arrived the lake was absolutely beautiful and blue but since all the rain we received with the hurricane and continued rain the lake has been all turned up and yucky brown. The view of the mountains in the background on the lake a still just as beautiful!
 
We also visited the beautiful beaches nearby, Agnes Water, 1770, Springs Beach, and Tannum.
 
 
 





 
Every Wednesday of the month Gladstone offers a Curtis Island Coffee cruise throughout the harbor and goes by the three projects that are going on. We were very happy that our family was able to see the GLNG project Jason works on..seeing as that is why we are here in the first place! He works in the tanks, where after the liquification occurs the liquid will be stored.
 

Jason waved to us as we went by!


 
A couple days we spent at the "neighborhood" pool which should have a max capacity of 2!



 
This past weekend we spent at Hamilton Island in the Whitsundays!! It was absolutely beautiful and such a fun island! The whole island was a resort and had so much to offer to do! We enjoyed the beautiful beaches, snorkeling, hobbie cats, paddle boards, kayaking, fishing, swim up bar, restaurants, wildlife park, cuddled koalas, fed kangas, petted dingos, and drinking that led to chicken fights (The guitar played Eye of the Tiger as our theme song, sadley- Nicole and Brian won!)
