15th August – 8th September 2024 Needless to say, we were very excited to pick up our new car; a Meteor Grey, Ford Ranger Platinum, and we weren’t disappointed, which is a good thing because we hadn’t really had a good look at it. 😉 There is a lot to love about this car, …

1st August – 15th August 2024 Kingaroy, as always, was wonderful. It was great to catch up with the family and we ended up staying longer than planned. Hazel, (my sister-in-law) took me to a fantastic garden centre, though to call it a garden centre is a bit of a misnomer. It’s like walking …
12th July – 26th July 2024 Leaving the locals to Lake Keepit, we made our way to Split Rock Dam and from there, a campsite on the Gwydir River at Bingara. We’re pleased to report that there were no incidents with the car, the van, the terrain or us. Halleluiah! We finally found the …
11th July – 12th July 2024 Eleven kilometres out of Tamworth we heard an unnervingly loud BANG! from under the bonnet. we quickly pulled off the road and popped the hood. It was immediately obvious what was wrong. A 100mm high pressure air hose had popped off, (technical term). Peter tried to replace it, …
26th June – 11th July 2024 We arrived at the Paradise Caravan Park at Tamworth in style. Though Big Ears I’m sure, was a tad embarrassed at having to be carried…again. Gary, the tow-truck driver was great. He reversed us into our slot, then promptly took the car to JT Fossey a Ford dealer, …
26th June 2024 When I wrote last, Peter and I were driving along the Oxley HWY talking and laughing, happy in our ignorance of what was about to happen. About forty minutes into our drive, we came to the junction of the Oxley HWY and Wollun Rd. We slowed down, checked for oncoming traffic …
19th – 26th June 2024 We called in to Port Macquarie long enough to say hi to mum, drop off Chunky Bum, then drive down to Sydney on the 1st June. Our singular reason for the visit was to catch up with a good friend of ours. Chris, as always, was the perfect host. …
11th May -30th May The drive through the New England region was quite lovely, even though it rained most of the time. The misty drizzle turned the skies silver grey, but highlighted the trees and provided a lovely show during our drive over the Great Dividing Range, (GDR) and we arrived safely at Port …
1st May to 11th May 2024 The night before we arrived at Kingaroy, we stayed at one of our fav spots. Harland Park, AKA Rodney’s Rest. So named for Rodney the Rooster whom we visited a couple of times over a few months. That being said, we had a wonderful visit with family at …
7th March to 1st May As the heading suggests, this post is more of a factual record than an entertaining post. During this time, we travelled from Kingaroy to Port Macquarie, then back again, with a few stops in between. And you’ll hear how we’ve hit yet another figurative bump in the road. First off, Robynn’s …
