    May 30, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

    Most of the way I took was on the western side of the range so everything is very very dry until I went slightly east by about 20k but onto the eastern side of the range,a place called Dorrigo, and the change is not comprendable. They are as green as green, grass to burn , a lot of dairy farms. Such a relief after seeing so many farms in such a bad state. All this in such a small area!! The trees in the last range I crossed into Qld were so tall something like 30/40m maybe even taller amazing !! The roads were sealed but so rough and uneven I was averaging about 20 to 30k an hour and meeting logging trucks and that’s why the roads are stuffed. Would do it again in a heartbeat it’s so beautiful!!!Read more

  • Brisbane

    June 6, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

    Spent time in Brisbane getting up dates done to the truck. Went to the RV show in Brisbane for shits and giggles ( well really I got free tickets) so why not!! Saw a two story caravan for hell’s sakes !! I supposed they had to go in some direction. Spent the weekends out and about the country side which was the nice side of Brisbane. Bought some beautiful cheese at Kenilworth for Richard and my trip north.Read more

  • Making my way to Cairns

    June 29, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

    Up to Nanango for some nice peanuts to go with the cheese and off I go on the back roads to Cairns. The back roads are so much quieter and less stressful. Sadly the farms were really dry right up to Charters Towers where they coped the bottom end of the cyclone and what a difference. The country changes every few hundred kms fascinating. Arrived and pulled up just south of cairns to my washing but Murphy watching so it’s raining. Ah well we’ll see what tomorrow brings!! A couple of days before Richard arrives.Read more
