    Murrumbidgee river

    February 20, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    Stop at Darlington point on the Murrumbidgee river for a night. Had a lovely drive here from Condobolin a flat drive starting with huge grain farms and ending with the grape capital of NSW at Griffith. Griffith is all under irrigation so is as green as. The Murrumbidgee is just another upside down river although quite largeRead more

    Condobolin

    February 18, 2019 in Australia ⋅ 🌬 35 °C

    Traveled south west to Condobolin in 42+ degrees today and the air conditioner was struggling!!! We are looking for cooler weather but so far not good. But at least it’s green here. Maybe cooler tomorrow ???

    UPDATE. A dust storm blew in late afternoon and then a quick storm. It was quite an experience, we had to shut ourselves up in the truck, meanwhile a good sized tree branch came down within a metre of the front of the truck!    Read more

    Dubbo

    February 17, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

    Pulled up just out of Dubbo at a place called Ponto. Once again a nice fast flowing river to pop in and out of as it is still in the mid 30s and still very dry. Will leave here maybe tomorrow or in a day or so time and head towards a place called Cobram where I’ll hopefully meet the people who help me build the fridge / freezer. Don’t know how long it will take so we will wait and see. Maybe a bit cooler weather but I better be careful for what I wish for!!!Read more

    All fix

    February 13, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 34 °C

    The truck was all fixed on Monday but to late to travel. We set out on Tuesday for a little town called Bingara. Lovely little town with a great free camp by the river that runs past the town. Will leave on Thursday and head towards Dubbo. As you can see in the photos it’s very smoky around here because there is a lot fires 🔥 going on in NSW as the drought is still in full swing with very little rain so far and no rain in sight.Read more

    Bonshaw weir

    February 7, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C

    We are here at this beautiful spot but for all the wrong reasons. We left crooked creek yesterday to wonder our way a bit further south when the truck put a code up on the dash and then put the motor into limp mode. We limp along to here slowly and stopped here as we have reception. I rang the relevant people and they had no idea what the code meant. Someone is traveling 5 hours from Brisbane today to fix it. So we might go kayaking or I might go fishing we will see. What a bloody inconvenience!!! Hopefully traveling tomorrow.Read more

    Housesitting for Lisa and Guy

    January 5, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

    Just about finished our time house sitting and we have had a very relaxing time. We had nice Xmas and New Year eating our way through 2 kilos of prawns from the local prawn farm near here as well as other yummy treats.
    Spent some of our time here mud crabbing, fishing and kayaking in the Albert River which the property backs onto.
    We will head back towards Brisbane next week to get the things done on the truck that couldn’t be done before Christmas. So all things going well we will start heading south some time in January. Yahoo!!!    Read more

    Family visits

    December 16, 2018 in Australia ⋅ 🌧 23 °C

    First we went to Sam and Kirstie’s place, had a beautiful afternoon and a lovely dinner followed on into the wee small hours solving the worlds problems, very successfully, if my memory serves me correctly. They have a lovely family a beautiful place in a great area with room for our truck. The next day we went and had brunch with Katie and Sam just around the corner from where they live. Once again a lovely spot, beautiful brunch followed by a pleasant walk up the Brisbane river back to their place for yet another coffee. Thanks you guys!!Read more

    Ticky touring around.

    December 14, 2018 in Australia ⋅ 🌧 30 °C

    Left Redcliffe and headed inland again for some more free camps while waiting to go down to Bess’s cousin place, just south of Brisbane, to house sit from the 19/12 to the 4/1/19. So the first port of call was Nanango for some more of those delicious peanuts!, Then we wandered around past these beautiful lakes till it was time to catch up with my nephew and niece.Read more

    Redcliffe

    December 12, 2018 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

    As we are still here in Brisbane doing truck things, we decided to have a couple of days at Redcliffe in the Moreton Bay region. We stayed at the show grounds for $25 a night. A short walk took us down to the foreshore where there is a very nice lagoon with picnic areas and lots of restaurants and cafes. The area also has a small lane way called Bee Gees Way, dedicated to the group, because they lived in the area as young boys and made their first public appearances in and around Redcliffe.
    The day was a bit drizzly and overcast but still warm and there was plenty of people swimming. We had lunch at a Cafe called Yabbey Road where they played all the old music from our era and the tables were covered with a collage of concert tickets.
    Really enjoyed wandering around there.    Read more

    Hervey Bay and Buxton

    November 25, 2018 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C

    Had to go north to Hervey Bay to get the lithium battery seen too. Quite a nice place, had a drink at the Boat Club and dinner at an Asian restaurant overlooking the marina. It’s a busy place with lots of retirees living there.
    So then we popped up the coast to a little place called Buxton ( see photos). Will be wetting a line here for sure. It’s a beautiful day about 30 degrees but a lovely sea breeze. Only allowed 24 hours here but who’s counting. We are meant to be back in Brisbane tomorrow but ah well I say we had truck problems ( hope they aren’t following us on penguins ).    Read more

    South Bank Brisbane

    November 11, 2018 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

    We’ve been staying at the Pine Rivers Showgrounds for the past week, close to Travel Trucks for the truck and the doctors for Dave.
    We’ve got ourselves Go Cards and have been using the Public transport system, a very cheap way to get around. Bus stops and train stations almost at our doorstep. Today we caught the train into the city, then the ferry to the Southbank Parklands. Had lunch at The Plough Inn and had a brilliant day both in the park and on the river.Read more
