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 …
14th February – 7 March Travelling back from Western Australia we stayed at Shelly Beach Caravan Park in Ceduna. We had stayed there on our way west, and decided to do the same heading east. It’s a good park a few kilometres out of town and only a short walk to the beach. I …
26th September – 5th October We headed east from Lake Grace, (I know, we’re supposed to be heading west) through Lake King, another salt lake, and slightly more pink than Lake Grace, then south to Ravensthorpe. They have the wildflower show here every year, and though we knew we had missed the show, we …
The Port Lincoln Tourist Park has to be one of the best caravan parks we’ve stayed at to date. The sites are huge, level, and well-spaced, offering great views of Spencer Gulf from most sites so we were pleased to be spending eight days there. We used Port Lincoln as a base to explore …
