Last weekend we spent the night in the 'Booley Hut' ...not sure how you spell 'Booley' but it was built by Ali's dad, Vernon, at the bottom of their garden, adjacent to the Brisbane river. It almost got washed away in the 2010 floods - often people comment on the height of the floods and the devastation they caused...yet everyone seems to have rebuilt pontoons, houses, factories etc. in exactly the same places that got flooded in 2010 (and 1974). I guess they might be safe for a couple of decades!
This hut has got one room downstairs and a mezzanine upstairs which is where all the kids slept. It was very cosy when we got the fire going. We all paddled here (and back the next morning) in a couple of kayaks and a larger canoe but only after we had dropped off all the bedding etc - very easy!
