Perfect weather for a cruise to Fernvale .  After meeting as usual at Ipswich for registration and some refreshments, we headed of on an observation run via Lowood to our destination at Fernvale.

As part of the observation run, we called in to the local Aged Care facility at Lowood and brought some enjoyment to the residents and staff.

They came out with their walkers and wheelchairs and reminisced about the good old days of yesteryear.

On arrival at Fernvale, the smell of meat cooking was mouthwatering.  But tea and damper was served for afternoon tea

The activity started and there was fierce competition with the crosscut saw, axe throwing and Hot Wheels racing.
