We're At Keswick Island Now -- Wanna Come?
Well I just had a four week 'forced holiday' and it's great to finally be here on Keswick Island. After only having visited the island for the first time in July this year, I think it's pretty amazing to actually be living here just 3.5 months later!
Situated 32km off the coast of Mackay, Queensland, Australia, we're the southern most Whitsunday Island in the Cumberland Group of islands. When we moved here, we made the population increase to a mere nine people. ;-)
Yes it's quiet... very quiet.
- No dogs barking all night long
- No cars speeding up and down the street - only golf buggies
- No 'domestic' arguments going on that you can't help but hear
- No neighbour's children screaming etc.
Really, we must be getting old for things like that to be annoying us... But we love it here and think we're the luckiest people in the world to be living our dream. :-)
We've made good friendships with the existing residents:
- Brian and Lyn Kinderman from the Keswick Island Guest House - I'd never stayed at a guest house before this one and I have to say that Lyn cooks gourmet food of the best quality (ultra yummy!) and their hospitality knows no bounds. A most enjoyable getaway to be had here. (Some great photos on their web site too!) Do take a moment to visit --> www.keswickislandguesthouse.com.au
I don't know what we would have done without their kindness and generosity. Without their friendship, I wouldn't have been able to access the internet while we were offline without a phone connection for four weeks. They make happy hour terrific and beach trips a joy. I knew this couple were 'pivotal' in our move to Keswick Island and we're both honoured to have them as friends. - Lyn & Mike - Being South Mexicans from Victoria, this couple are very down-to-earth and an unearthed treasure on the island. Always willing to lend a hand and very kind people. We were truly delighted to find that they're both capricorns like Brian and I are! That's gotta be special. :-)
Plus, Lyn's mother Verna, who is 82 years old and very spritely I might add, also lives with them. I love older people because they always have a good story to tell. ;-)
The house we're living in is absolutely beautiful. When we opened the door to arrive, we felt like we were coming home. All the indian saris that I bought when I was in India in October fit beautifully around the windows. It's like a constant discovery tour walking around the house. Jenny and Nat, the owners, are wonderful people and we feel very lucky to be looking after their home. Who knows? Maybe one day in the near future we'll be able to buy it from them. ;-)
All of a sudden, we're noticing more about the nature around us -- the flora and the fauna, not to mention the tides. It's good to get back to basics and that was one of the main reasons I wanted to move here, apart from the fact that it filled 'the picture in my head I'd been carrying around for years' to the letter.
Each night at sunset, we watch as thousands of fruit bats fly straight past our house from the mango groves on the beach to the neighbouring St Bees Island. I don't think you could 'pay' for this kind of 'wonder'. With no natural predators, except perhaps for the monitor lizards, which are pretty slow... it's an amazing sight to behold. And typically, a terrific excuse to salute them with a champagne as the sun sets. :-)
I can't explain how the island itself is so much better to experience in person that it is to view in photos... But nevertheless, here are some photos of our lovely Keswick Isle that I'd like to share with you. [Just point at each photo for descriptions].






Wouldn't you just love to visit a beautiful island like this on your next getaway? Look I pinch myself every day to make sure I'm not dreaming! lol. We all feel like we're living a millionaire's life here. Well there's nothing stopping you from coming here too! Take at look at my invitation below to see why...
Warmest regards

PS: Would you like to visit Keswick Island and get some well-deserved training as well? Well here's an invitation for you to consider...
Why not come and visit, stay as my personal guest in my home and I'll carry out one-on-one internet marketing training with you? The training aspect makes your trip 'tax deductible' and you can improve in any area that you need to strengthen. In fact, I'll even create a specialised training agenda specifically for YOU to suit YOUR need.
I won't charge you for accommodation... It's on me, because you'll be my special guest. You will receive a bill of $90/day for food and drinks and you'll need to book and pay for your own airfares and transfers. You can stay for 3 nights as my guest AND you can bring your partner for no extra cost if you like! It's like a special 2-in-1 deal. :-)
Does that sound fair enough to you?
What else can you do here? Swim, snorkel on the reef (we're part of the Great Barrier Reef national park and there's beautiful tropical fish to see), fish, go kayaking and reef viewing, nature walks and hiking, rest and read books, get a reiki treatment from Brian and I ($70/pp) or just take it easy. If you bring a partner, they can participate or they can just relax... (But you'd need to share a queen size bed. Otherwise you can bring your friends and they can stay at the Keswick Island Guest House and still receive training!). The rest of the time you can receive one-on-one mentoring absolutely free. I urge you to pick my brain that's full of over 20 years of marketing experience! Ah, did I mention that I like to talk? You will receive supreme value for your money. I mean, have you ever seen this kind of offer anywhere else online before?
If this sounds like a golden opportunity to you -- and believe me when I say that it is -- simply click the following link to secure your training / vacation.There's a one-time fee of $597 to cover the training for four hours each day. (And if it takes longer, who cares?) That's very affordable when you consider how much you could pay for a seminar where you'll get 'brain drain'... Why not enjoy yourself while you're learning and experience something out of this world at the same time?
You can book the date that you come to Keswick Island any time with me, as long as it's before November 2007. You'll receive more details after you have made your payment. ;-)
If you live overseas and you think it's too far to travel... Look, have a good, long, hard think about it. Isn't Australia one of the ideal destinations that you've always wanted to visit? If that's the case, then why not combine a tour with a little training in a relaxed, informal atmosphere in an exclusive, idyllic tropical island that isn't commercialised at the same time? Believe me when I say that this time-limited offer won't last long. Honestly, this offer may not ever come your way again, so don't waste your time thinking too long about it. Just do it! :-)
