13 – 16th October 2018 When the mercury pushes 40C we plumb for the luxury of a powered site at a caravan park. Our preference is to stay away from caravan parks but when these temperatures were forecast for four consecutive days we booked into a park in Charters Towers. Having set up we flicked…
At the last check the blogroll was up to 318 participants in this year’s A-Z Blogging Challenge. Remember sign up continues until the first week in April so many more will join before kick off 1st April. This has been an annual April event started in 2010 which means this is the tenth anniversary. Impressive.…
With half a day to see the high spots of Sale it was an unfair request of the lady at the Information Centre but she did the city proud suggesting we take the heritage cruise on board the “Rubeena”. The “Rubeena” potters up and down the manmade Canal of Sale, skippered by retired city engineer,…
Driving down the east coast of Australia has been an experience. However, the further south we venture the more unsettled the weather has been. We hit our first hail stones two days ago and the rain hasn’t stopped. So for the time being we are without the rainbows and sunshine we had so long taken…
For three nights we camped at the Sporties Club at Tuncurry a perfect spot from which to explore the twin towns of Forster Tuncurry, mid-east coast of New South Wales. So we’re back in what had been our home state since 2003 to visit friends on our way south. The accompanying photos were taken as…
Porcupine Gorge is 70kms north of the small town of Hughenden which we had to pass through. Any self-respecting dinosaur enthusiast knows that Hughenden is home to Mutt, or to give him his full title “Muttaburrasaurus langdoni” aka Hughie, that stands in the centre of town. He’s somewhat diminished in my photo which was focussing…
I could camp here forever. The mango tree we’re camped under is magnificent, too bad we won’t be here when it is fruiting. The amenities are clean and the water in the showers piping hot. It’s free camping inasmuch as you pick your own site and the cost is reasonable. We’re happy campers and loving…
If you’ve been on the road a while you learn that most Grey Nomads head north for the warmer climate of Queensland and the Northern Territories. They leave home after Mother’s Day (May) and plan to be home by Father’s Day (September). It’s an established trend. We arrived in Mackay, Queensland at the height of…
Our road trip into the Eungella National Park, in the Mackay Region of Queensland was a few hours to reconnect with the natural wonders on our doorstep. The road, bordered by cane plantations, passes through the picturesque Pioneer Valley towards Eungella and into the national park, Australia’s longest stretch of sub-tropical rainforest. Approximately an hour’s…
13 – 19th July 2018 The private camp spot at Grass Tree a short way from town was a perfect base from which to introduce ourselves to the area and catch our bearings. Since then we’ve moved closer to the beach and although we are with other campers it is very quiet. Now we are…
