18th March – 30 March 2025 Copeton Dam, some two and a half hours north of Split Rock Dam, was a lovely surprise. The water level here was low, just as it was at Split Rock but we hadn’t visited before, so we had no expectations, and it was a much cleaner area. No …
16th to 18th March 2025 Reluctantly, we left Mungo Brush campground and continued our round-a-bout trip to Split Rock Dam. We had two overnight camps along the way, one at the Scone Golf Club, the other at Manilla Freedom Camp. We’ve stayed at the Freedom Camp a few times before and I always feel like …
10th March – 14th March 2025 After what seems like an eternity, we are finally able to continue our travels. Sure, it’s only a short trip, just long enough to see how well mum can cope by herself, but still…it’s a trip and nothing is going to stop us, not even cyclone Alfred. Now, …
18th November 2024 10st March 2025 Ok, so…this post is not a fun post, nor is it centred on travel. But this blog is primarily to keep a record of everything that happens while Peter & I are travelling, and as such, must be recorded. My mum was admitted into hospital on the 28th …
2nd November to 18th November 2024 So, this post is somewhat different as we take a little holiday from our big holiday. My Aunty Ann (mum’s sister) and my cousin Claire flew into Port on the 2nd November. They flew in from Colorado, USA, and after a good night’s sleep, or not so good …
9th October to 25th October 2024 From Goondiwindi we continued making our way south. We had an overnight at Gurley, stopping early to avoid/enjoy a storm before a nice camp on the Namoi River. We had only planned a night or two on the banks of the Namoi River, but it was so nice …
7th to 10th October 2024 We left Millmerran on the Monday. It was later in the day, so we didn’t get far, not that we need an excuse to not travel far. Our next stop was Goondiwindi. We were a bit lucky there too. We rolled up into the Goondiwindi showgrounds in time to …
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 …
