Touring with Kevin

While staying at Gulf Harbour Marina we were lucky to head out with Kevin on several occasions touring the local countryside. The set of pictures are at 'JB'S' a friend of Kevin's who rebuilds classic aircraft and has them stored in his own collection. Many of the required parts he makes from scratch as the originals have been lost or disintegrated over time.









On another sunny day we headed out with Kevin and his daughter Sarah. Later in the afternoon we arrived at Sandspit and of course had to stop for a welcome drink and a few minutes to enjoy this beautiful inlet.
