On our journey home we spent an evening with ex-Elanders Mark, Rahasya, Finnegan and Molly Sanders who now reside in Brisbane.
A loud and lively evening was enjoyed, catching up on their news and sharing tales of Elands before bidding them a reluctant goodbye and heading south.
We hope they'll come visit so that we can reciprocate their wonderful hospitality.

It's always a great night with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, so roll on up and enjoy some classic Elands hospitality and fun.
Falling temperatures keep the home fires burning
THE mild Winter weather has made way for frosty mornings and bitter winds over the past week on the Bulga, and fireplaces have been burning bright both day and night to keep the cold at bay.
We've been looking hopefully towards the heavens for signs of rain clouds, but alas none have appeared thus far, keeping us all a little anxious about dwindling tank levels.
We've certainly felt the snow at Barrington blowing our way on the wind, and there have been a couple of incidences of icy sleet, stopping just short of snow here.
It's a great time to be in the firewood business in Elands!
Mike and Sue safely home
INTREPID biking Bobin adventurers Mike and Sue Roze are back in Oz after their motorbike odyssey through south eastern Europe.
They kept us all informed with regular facebook updates and envy inducing photos of their exploits in Spain, Portugal and beyond, and by the look of things they're making very good use of all that spare time now they're retired.
Undoubtedly they're already planning their next trip, never being ones to let the grass grow beneath their feet.
Welcome home guys, if only for a little while.
Young man river
THE Mullany/ Knight household hosted some very special visitors over the school holidays with Peter's grandson River coming to stay along with Mum Jade and Dad Phil.
Proud grandfather Peter had a ball with young River who was then on the verge of walking and this week made it official and is now tearing around like nobody's business.
Our dapper young fellow is pictured pumping out a tune on the in-house keyboard, and now that he's walking, Pete's researching the right guitar for a two foot tall shredder.
Susie and Greg try famoose food
ELANDERS Susie Russell and Greg Hall have arrived in Newfoundland and are settling into the daily routine of fishing for their breakfast and lunch.
They're supping on the fresh salmon and trout they catch each day, and recently treated themselves to dinner out at a local restaurant where they dined on the regional speciality: Moose Lasagne.
Moose is commonly used in meat based dishes owing to an abundance of the animals and the reputed tastiness of the meat.
We've not yet heard their verdict on the meal, but hopefully it was Caribou-tiful.
