This was eight days of running around like complete maniacs. In between visits to the doctor to get a referral to a Sleep Clinic, doing an overnight stint at the Sleep Clinic, Rick attending the dermatologist (and leaving with little holes and freeze scabs AGAIN – not to mention the fact that Dr D wanted another two moles fully excised next month), getting the car serviced and checked over, shopping – both general and for Dad’s birthday, we actually tried to relax a little. Because we were staying in Tingalpa, we were able to revisit old haunts and check out the changes. Not many really except for more housing developments and ongoing road building and maintenance.
The Nestle Inn itself is much improved. Last time we stayed there, we swore we wouldn’t stay there again. It was very run down, and the owner at the time didn’t give a rat’s. The park has recently changed hands and has new managers who are working their butts off to bring it up to scratch. They have lots of plans for the place and the owner is giving them full support and encouragement. It will be interesting to go back in 12 months and see what has changed. Unfortunately, some of the upgrades are going to rely on Brisbane Council coming to the party and upgrading the drainage of the creek that flows into and through the property. The creek runs under Manly road and into the park, and generally during summer, half the area is soggy or under water.
