Well the day has come when Robbie celebrates his passing out parade or as the NSW Police call it his Attestation Parade. The weather is turning out to be good and the parade starts at 10am and finishes at 11:30.

It's 8:30 and we're here and parked.

A great parade. Robbie looked so good. Rachael, Jade, Maddi, Zoe, Amanda and Paul came. Zali and Anneliese watched it on live stream.

Unfortunately we didn't get to see Robbie after the parade but will see him tomorrow.

We're heading to Paul and Amanda's tonight for a BBQ.Read more

Day 27
Melbourne to Goulburn
September 27, 2022 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
We had a slightly rockier trip home on the Spirit and had been advised that we needed to be up and ready to go by 4:45am for 5:30 disembarking. The wake up call came but with the news that we would be disembarking at 6:30!

Once off the ship we headed straight out of Melbourne city, trying to get out before peak hour started.

The rain that had followed us around Tasmania continued on the way north. We called into Glenrowan and had a look around the Ned Kelly museum there and the historic sights before continuing northward.

The cloud formations on the way up have been just amazing.

With the band of bad weather around us and the forecast of storms, we thought it best to not put up the rooftop tent and found accommodation in Goulburn for the evening. After trying a number of hotels we ended up getting the last room at the Posthouse Motel.

Looking forward to seeing our Trav and Abi tomorrow on our way though Newcastle, and finally being able to see Abi's ring in person ♥️.Read more

Day 1
Goulburn
July 4, 2016 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 4 °C
Headed to Goulburn first. Did the obligatory service centre stop at Marulan because I can't pass this place without stopping for a roast beef and gravy roll. Give it a go if you're driving by!

Once I got to Goulburn I decided on a whim to scoot up to the War Memorial. It's that tall tower thing plonked on the hilltop that you see when you first drive in to Goulburn. When driving through Goulburn in the past, I never really bothered to work out what it was - for some reason I thought it was an old lookout for escaped prisoners or something (ha!). But anyway, went up there and got a nice view of Goulburn, but as I was alone and there was nobody around, it felt a bit creepy so I didn't stay too long.

Zipped into Goulburn town itself and engaged in another tradition - a quick shop at Dimmey's. If you've never bothered to have a poke around, I highly recommend it! I picked up a pair of grey cords for $2.99! I love the random stuff they have there, and now make it a regular stop off whenever I pass through.

I also did the obligatory drive-by of the Big Merino. I'd only ever driven past before - I'd never driven in to have a look around. I was quite surprised at the er, *detail* that they included at the rear of the sheep. :PRead more

This was our lunch stop.. The volunteers have turned an old clay piy into something amazing. Still in progress this site is looking good and already home to many birds.

The view was great looking over Goulburn and the sun peeked out for a few minutes.

Some more photos of our brief stop over. River walk was interesting and a timely reminder of the damage floods can do although have said that we were pleasantly surprised that a recent native garden planting along the river bank seemed to have survived.
Pity I didn’t think to take more photos of the town and some of its historic buildings...maybe another time.Read more

Day 7
We went inside a sheep
April 12, 2018 in Australia ⋅ 🌙 21 °C
A short stop at a bakery in Goulburn for snacks, and we went to the giant Merino! We parked near its butt and climbed inside to look out the eyes. It's a big sheep farming area producing lots of wool.
It looks a long way up the the Merino’s eyes. Did you have a great view from there? XxxHeath
