    Borambola - a place of stories.

    1. Oktober 2022 in Australien ⋅ 🌧 14 °C

    Each wine beer and cider in the Borambola range has a story. Featuring future Kings of England - both George and Charles - in different eras of course. To the winner of the 1947 Melbourne Cup - the horse not the jockey. Also Bushrangers and assorted pets. Now Alan, Regina and Ian have gazed out on the beautiful hills and valleys from the spectacular homestead. Since the 90’s the view has featured grape vines. Back in ‘80’s of the 1800’s the keenest eye would not have seen the most distant eastern boundary which was up near Tumut covering 1.3mill hectares.
    Borambola is now a wine producer, so if you see the label in your local bottlo or restaurant. Do yourself a favour.    Weiterlesen

    In our happy place. Beers and Gears.

    2. Oktober 2022 in Australien ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C

    After serious cycle fitness neglect for 18 months, we have undertaken the 50km instead of the full Beers and Gears route. Zoe and Moe were the hosts with the most, and Zoe was plying her trade for Borambola Winery. It was a magnificent day, wonderful scenery and the added bonus of the company of our dear friend Al. Thanks for towing us Al, apologies for the whinging, (Reggie).Weiterlesen

    A wonderful way to end 18 months on the road. Staying at brother Danny’s farm, beautiful Bangawalla, for a last hoorah before our adventures come to an end. Entertaining ourselves with some odd jobs around the place, and a big thank you to Danny and Kathleen for their incredible kindness and generosity over the years.
    Thanks also to Zoe who came over from Wagga to assist in our handy person efforts.    Weiterlesen

    48,197k with the van plus 6,200k incidental journeys on foot, bicycle and in the car without the van.
    Unknown number of Bicycle kilometres. We do know that it was not nearly enough.
    Significant walking distance - We both had to buy new walking boots.
    552 days away - 18months and 4 days. None of those days were spent wishing to be somewhere else.

    Other sundry stats:
    Lost property - one hoodie, and my multimeter.
    We used everything that we took and didn’t need for anything we didn’t take.
    Breakages - 4 long steamed wine glasses. How optimistic we’re we?
    The 12 volt TV was dropped.
    Breakdowns: 1 van flat tyre; 1 car flat tyre; New tyres fitted at Mount Isa and again in Griffith some 438 days later; front shock absorbers on the car; Some recurring 12volt power issues (van and car); Travelled with a big box of tools and I used them all - outback roads can be rough.
    Arguments - none worth mentioning.
    Car washing - 3.
    Van washes - 2 attempts.
    Favourite place/experience/encounter? Impossible to answer - but will probably be the one being recollected.

    Thanks friends for following and cheering our adventures. Hope you all get a chance to tackle your own personal goals on the road.    Weiterlesen
