As part of the North team for screen moving we really only had one move to do near the start, as the South team then had 2 and where we normally would all come together, the move was cancelled as they were running late. So sadly had to spend a lot of time watching the athletics, which was really tough.😉As part of this tough evening, I saw Katarina Johnson-Thompson win her Commonwealth Heptathlon Gold when she did the 800m final event of her 7, then saw her medal presentation.
At the end of the evening when all the crowds had gone, we all went out onto the track and got some final farewell pictures, and as we were walking back to collect our things, we spotted a film crew doing a piece to camera with none other than Denise Lewis being filmed. So we waited and as Laura (one of my team) knew everyone there, we sneaked over and asked if we could have a photo and we had a lovely chat too.
Saturday saw a very different day.
Time to head off and explore away from the beach, so hired a car and headed up to Springbrook National Park, a place with lots of views, waterfalls and rain forest.
The weather started a bit Grey and we had some rain, but once it cleared it was still warm. We
stopped at several viewpoints on the way up the mountain, some lovely waterfalls, and spotted what we think may have been wallaroos (or wallabies, but think too small for kangaroos) hopping around and across the roads.
Sadly no Koalas spotted in spite of a sign saying there might be some to be aware of.
Headed back home as it started to get a bit darker and aimed for the local tavern, where the air conditioning was a little on the high side, but managed to eat while food still hot and then headed back for a reasonably early night.
Starting to wind down now, and time to head home is getting closer.
