In the next few days family members from all over Australia will begin the return trip to the Tweed. Thompsons began arriving there in 1961, in a cream Humber pulling a homemade caravan. What an adventure. Eight years later some of us began to leave, starting new lives and new families in new towns. But the Tweed stayed firmly entrenched in our hearts.
Kel (Dad) took us there, and eventually died there. Now we're going back to celebrate his life and the seeds of adventure he sowed in all of us, by having one more adventure together.
Thanks Dad.
And what an adventure it will be. Can't wait.
