After being stationary for so long we were determined to get some kms on the odo. That meant longer stretches of driving, and what we call “bare” camps, only setting up the minimum for comfort. So, after leaving Capalaba we had single overnight stops at: The distance was 1271 kms, about twenty hours of …
3 July – 17 July 2025 Our sojourn ended all too soon and we found ourselves back in the big smoke. Well, Mount Cotton anyway. Peter had an MRI booked before his surgery, we got that tucked away and I delivered him to St Andrews War Memorial Hospital in Spring Hill on July the …
17th June – 3rd July 2025 First up, I got a bit ahead of myself in my last post and as a result, I lost three weeks. Hey, it happens. In summary: After Flanagan’s, we spent three nights at the Allawah Scout Camp, two nights at Rodney’s Rest (aka Harland Park), then two- and …
20st May – 17th June 2025 Flanagan’s Reserve is only 44kms west of Darlington Park and unlike the open grassland of Darlington, it has a rustic bush setting, with the Logan River flowing through the property. We have stayed there before but I don’t remember much about it. I was quite unwell for the …
1st May – 20th May 2025 We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again; plans do not work for us. We wanted to leave Port Macquarie on May 1st and head north, then west towards Western Australia. I must be back in Port for a check-up in November, so that would give us …
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 …
