Wendy Tully and her husband John celebrated her 70th birthday with a family and friends weekend at the Bunya Mountains that drew more than 100 guests<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

December 5, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Bunya Mountains hosted an extra-large gathering of guests over the weekend.<\/p>\n

The visitors were all relatives or friends of well-known Kingaroy Quotarian Wendy Tully and her husband John, and the cause for celebration was Wendy’s 70th birthday.<\/p>\n

Guests booked out the two large cottages behind Poppy’s On The Hill along with several others nearby, then came together for a weekend of family fun.<\/p>\n

As things turned out – with a heatwave scorching the rest of the region – they couldn’t have chosen a better location for the celebration.<\/p>\n

While lowland areas sweltered through most of the weekend in temperatures approaching 40 degrees, the visitors got to enjoy a pleasant stay in the cool mountain air.<\/p>\n

Even a blustery thunderstorm on Saturday night failed to cause any real concerns, though it did provide a spectacular light show.<\/p>\n

About 100 relatives and friends travelled from all over Queensland and interstate for the party, and one of Wendy’s sons even flew out from London.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wendy said she was “astonished” at the roll-up, but very pleased to see everyone – especially her nine children and 25 grandchildren.<\/p>\n

She said a personal highlight of the weekend was a Powerpoint slideshow of her life put together by her son Jonathan, which included old movie clips he’d shot as a youngster, along with recollections and memorabilia provided by her sisters.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the Internet, Jonathan had been able to put the presentation together in London, then bring it along with him.<\/p>\n

“Everyone had a wonderful time and the children really enjoyed it because the Bunya Mountains are such a special place,” Wendy said.<\/p>\n

“And I don’t think I heard anyone say they weren’t having a good time, which was really the best present of all.”<\/p>\n
