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 …
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 …
After what seems like an eternity (well, November 2021 is a long time ago) of hanging around, doctors’ visits, tests, hospitals etc, we are finally free to travel. We left Darlington Park as planned; well almost. Peter had to say goodbye to everyone we’d met, then a couple of likely lads came around to …
Although we are no longer in Capalaba, we aren’t that far away. I had to have another series of tests and need to be back in Brissy this Friday for the results, but we thought bugger it! We’re going somewhere more interesting. About an hour and a half drive from Capalaba is a great …
I know it has been a while since my last post, and I am sure you are wondering where we have been, what we have been doing, and where we are now? The answers to these questions are; not very far, not very much and pretty close to home. We are currently in the …
So, this was the last leg of our trip and finally, the rain was beginning to ease. We stayed overnight at a free camp at Bluff Rock, just south of Tenterfield. The next day we found a lovely little spot for morning tea. Beardy Woodlands, on the New England Highway. This area had distinct …

After leaving Port Mac we drove through to Coffs Harbor. Here we had some fun exploring the area on our e-scooters, before continuing on to Macksville. Macksville is a lovely little town on the banks of the Nambucca River. The Pacific highway used to take you through Macksville, but like so many other small …
