03:58beachy it's one of those dog friendly ones off the lead between certain hours and we are between those

04:03hours at the moment are we are we really we are really and uh yeah she's pretty chilled apparently

04:43we are down here with little miss rosie oh look at that big slobbery kiss it's been a great little

04:49sit here in uh in hervey bay i think the thing that i've enjoyed the most about it is our ability to

04:53just disconnect from all the noise and the buzz around this we had a couple of weeks there in

04:57brisbane where i suppose with the chaos of the the van reno and everything that's been going on

05:01it's been really really really busy but now we're able to sort of step back a bit and enjoy

05:05what have you enjoyed the most about this little area actually hanging out with rosie

05:09she's been great she's a lovely dog yeah she's been great she's really easy going i did have a

05:16laugh because sometimes the neighbors will look after rosie if it's a short time or the neighbor's

05:22daughter will come and look after her depending on the circumstances and the neighbor's daughter was

05:27feeding their cat the one day and said oh sometimes we look after rosie but she's a bit

05:31too much of a handful for longer periods of time wow okay trying to get control of the gimbal again

05:37you remember i was saying before about product review and not being overly happy yeah okay welcome

05:41to gimbal world did you want to put that over there and we'll see if she wants to go out onto the

05:45shallow waters i'm going to remember to come back for it we'll come back for it not what we normally do
