Despite being somewhat out of focus, Sergeant Richard welcomed us, introduced guests Colin and Derek, and proposed an International Toast to Bribie Island.

As it turned out, Bribie needed a little more help than a toast.

Although, despite some damage, it seems we have “escaped a bullet”

Thanks for the photos Roger
