gosh its nearly that time of year!
Oh how time flies, feels like we have only just had easter. And now its christmas time already. What is the best thing about it for you? The time to celebrate with family? The look on your kids eyes as they open there presents. Or is it just looking at the lights? My favourite is the look on my daughters face as she opens her presents. It brings me so much joy and happiness. then i also like the lights as she also enjoys them alot.

The Lighthouse change-up
A few blogs ago i was talking about the lighthouse in Point Cartwright, well another lil fact is it wasnt the original lighthouse on the coastline. The original lighthouse was located in caloundra, 15km's away from Point Cartwright and still stands today, the reason is at the time the caloundra lighthouse was used as the beacon for ships letting them now they were close to the port in brisbane, but then the town of Caloundra had a boom and so as the buildings went up, the council folk believed that the lighthouse was no longer effective and decided that the location wasnt suitable and so they moved it to Point Cartwright.
