Visiting High School Friend in Queensland, Australia, Nov 2003

I spent a week visiting with my NZ high school friend, Sue, and her family in Queensland, Australia. They own a horse and cattle ranch called Marlin Park in Imbil, which is close to Brisbane. The week was filled with adventure touring the area, riding horses through wonderful property, meeting Sue's husband, Ron, her son, Danny, her friends, and seeing her mom and dad (Steve & Louise) and most of all reconnecting with a good friend that I haven't seen in 31 years.
