Kindness Awards

The first award goes to Rosemary Keen the owner of the Gregadoo (near Wagga Wagga) O’Berne farm stay cottage. Not only did we have great accommodation for a very reasonable price we also got breakfast with it. What a breakfast! Rosemary left us eggs, ham, breads, chocolates, wine, jams, olives and butter. She also warmed the house for our arrival and gave us mementos as we left.

The second award goes to the couple at Noosa Heads who saved five lost Canadians. Instead of pointing to a map or giving a litany of incomprehensible instructions they walked several hundred metres with us to show us the way to the Noosa National Park. They even indicated where the nudist beach was to be found. Now that’s service!

The third award goes to the timid person who served us wine samples at the Robert Stein winery in Mudgee. We thought it only proper to but a bottle of wine, not a difficult task as the wine was very good, but she insisted we take the bottle compliments of the house.

The Joker’s Award goes to the gentleman who rented us the gold digging equipment at Wendeyer near Mudgee. He insisted we take a wheelbarrow in order to bring the nuggets back. (Ha! Ha!)
