We took photos at home.
We had lunch at The Ville, a short street of shops, cafes and restaurants a short walk from College Road. We had coffee with the W's and D's, our regular Nobby's Beach December companions. Jack is in 2nd year, Maggie in 1st. They both stay on campus too.
Then we headed over to Uni to meet and greet and unpack. Drew has a nice room on the ground floor. We went to a short information session then carted all the gear in.
Gibbo was very helpful.
Sibling Love!
Meg and Chris left to go home; she to Twba, he to Dalby.
We stayed and attended o'clock Mass then dinner. Parents were asked to leave around 7.15 and it was suggested that we didn't linger. It was much easier saying goodbye to Drew this year than it was at the airport in January last year.
We stayed in Brisbane for two days of meetings; I spent the time buying Drew's textbooks and a few odds and ends that he needed and I went back to the Uni to deliver them. He's had a huge week of parties and breakfasts and meeting kids from the other colleges and it's been a blast. He's so happy to be there and he's looking forward to his classes starting - and I'm glad he's there too. He's so much more ready this year than he was 12 months ago.

More exciting times for Drew!
I spent twelve months at Emmanuel College. Shouldn't be telling you this Mum, but I learnt a lot about drinking and missing Friday morning lectures! I've no doubt your boy is far more mature after his year away.
Love all your family photos.
Gibbo appeared to be a great help, reminded me of being in hospital the day after I had Sarah, Matthew came in mightily hung over, pushed me out of my bed and settled in.
I hang my head in shame when I see your garden, I've let mine slip terribly. Hopefully as Summer comes to an end I'll be more inspired. My pushbike's also feeling rather neglected, though I'm still persisting with the running.
Hope you're all well.
