Theywent to Manitoba to visit with their son Martin who is in school there. He was on reading week and they spent time visiting farms of friends and acquaintances from the sheep industry. They also travelled into Saskatchewan for the same reason. They had a wonderful time exploring the countryside and seeing the areas of their farming friends. They returned home to find everything well taken care of by their two sons. The Cranbrook Dart Club had a group of 21 darters taking a “stab” at the boards on Feb. 29. They had two guests for the evening, with Danica Zwep and Cody Janmaat joining them. The two students were homefrom school for reading week. Thewomen are proving they are goodcompetition or are having a lot ofgood luck. Karen Bowles took the high lady hitting 140 and John Gillis also hit 140 for the men. The world of e-mails is great and we are pleased that news of Tanner and Loni Leslie and their trip to New Zealand can be shared. The couple left in early February and went to Melbourne. They say it is a lovely and quaint city and the beautiful Yarra River runs through it. They have enjoyed walking along it and taking in the scenery. When they went to the pier, they saw cute mini penguins. At the aquarium, they saw more penguins, sharks and many interesting and neat fish. They also went to the Royal Botanical Gardens that are lovely. They travelled on to Sydney and report they were not really impressed with the city. They did meet some very nice folks from Ireland at the hostel they stayed at. They went on to Christchurch and found the city to be very depressing. Most of the city is shut down because of the damage suffered from two earthquakes. They have left Christchurch in their rented car and went to Oamaru. It is quite interesting driving on the other side of the road, but they report they are getting use to it. They took a side trip on their way to Oamaru to the area where The Lord of The Rings was filmed. They report that the scenery is spectacular. They headed to Queensland and the landscape is unbelievable. They took a boat trip of Milford Sound to see the phenomenal sites of the area. They then travelled to Rotorua where there are natural thermal hot springs and geysers. They smell very, very bad – like very stinky sulphur. Their most exciting adventure has been a black water rafting cave adventure. They tubed down a 210- foot dark drop wearing headlamps to the underground caves. It was cold and dark and they were in very small enclosed spaces. On the ceiling were glow worms that glowed blue whenthey shut off their head lamps. Thejourney continued and they had tojump off two waterfalls that theyreport was “super scary”. They went to see a rugby game while in the area and it was really exciting to see. They were heading to Coromandel and Auckland for a few days and report that New Zealand has been awesome.
