Noice-ities: Wivenhoe Dam on Labour Day

It’s Friday afternoon and it’s time for another Noice-ities and share with you all what was noice about my week.  For starters, it was a short working week so that in itself made it quite noice. With Labour Day weekend just past, it was even more noice (or should that be noice-er) for the fact that we had absolutely gorgeous weather in SE Queensland to go along with it. The sun was shining, a couple of clouds in the sky and just perfect for a bit of a road trip – especially when we had no idea where we were going to end up. There is a certain element of freedom in having a full tank of petrol and no time constraints.

Without intending to, we ended up at Wivenhoe Dam. The last time I’d been there was as a child and my memories of that visit were tarnished by a heap of damn bees that just didn’t want to leave me alone. They chased me incessantly and a few even ended up in my can of Pasito. That is how much the day traumatised me – I can remember that I was drinking a can of Pasito when I cannot remember even how old I was at the time I was there.

For the longest time, it didn’t matter that Wivenhoe was the camp of the pesky bee because I had no desire to go there anyway – given the distinct lack of water in the dam. But now that we have had so much rain, it is a beautiful place to visit once again. And even more noice? No bees to be seen.
