Set off on the 30 minute drive to Bribie Island. An old work colleague of Ian's and his wife live on Bribie. Last time we were up this way we visited their block where the plumber was busy laying the pipes before the slab was poured. This time we visit the finished product. Very nice house with lots of lovely outdoor living areas to make use of the weather and the cool breeze when it comes. We had coffee and chatted before heading off to the RSL for lunch. After a lovely meal we went for a drive around Bribie and adjoining Sandy Point.
We also visited the Mater Prize Home which is first prize in a raffle with proceeds going to research and patient care at Mater Brisbane. It is positioned with the back of the house overlooking the canal on Bribie Island. The plan makes full use of the view of the canal and is stunning. The study which is situated in the middle of the home has a window instead of a wall so you can see into the living area and then out to the canal. I don't think much work would get done there. More daydreaming looking out on the water.
Back to their place for another coffee before we headed back to the van.
Very enjoyable day and great to catch up in person rather than the phone.
