Hi sis, from Mooloolaba to Cnoc na Greine

So here's a shout out for Dawn Maher of Cnoc na Greine View, directly from her sister Nicola De Batuin in Mooloolaba on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia, writes Brian Byrne.

Nicola works in a pharmacy on the esplanade in Mooloolaba, and she has lived in Australia for 14 years now.

Last March when she was visiting her sister in Kilcullen, she and Dawn had their respective youngest children Tiernan and Amy baptised in Kilcullen Parish Church in a joint ceremony.

"And my eldest, Tadhg, was baptised in Kilcullen more than six years ago," Nicola told the Diary. "It's a lovely place."

So is Mooloolaba, though substantially warmer with current temperatures in the 30s.
