After a lot of preparation we are finally on our way, left home at 10:15 and made our way up the Great Alpine Road, first stop for a cuppa just south of Swifts Creek and then on to Omeo.
We followed the Omeo Highway through the bends to the Blue Duck and then onto the Big River campsite for lunch, lots of water in all the rivers and a beautiful sunny day in the high country. Back on the road and we passed through Mitta Mitta a great little town on the river, after a couple of more hours on the road and we pulled up for the night at the Lake Hume Discovery Caravan park, pretty quiet considering school holidays and there is very little water in the lake, had a wander around it is a nice park that would be crazy in the summer.
Inside tonight going to be cold overnight.Les mer

Slept till 8 this morning so quiet in the van park, a big thanks to Deb and Kevin for the great hospitality and a big shout out to the windscreen fairy who cleans everybody’s windscreens in the early hours of the morning. Got away a bit after 9 and back on the Newel highway heading north, into Dubbo to fuel up and grab a couple of things from supercheap and back on the road we stopped just out of town for a cuppa at a rest stop. Another nice day a bit of a head wind making the 79 work but no probs pulling the van at 100k/hr, next stop was Gilgandra visitors centre and museum for a look, about 1/2 hour up the road is Tooraweenah we stopped there for lunch at the Warrumbungles viewing area.
On the road again for an hour and we made into Coonabarabran our stop for the night at the John Oxley Caravan park, time to do some washing, took an afternoon walk into town about 500mts not much open on a Saturday avo.Les mer

Got away at 9 this morning and headed into town to grab a few supplies from Woolworths still heading north, another great day in northern nsw. Back on the Newel highway not the best bitumen Road you will ever find, next stop was Narrabri for a cuppa at the info centre which had a good cotton display. On the road again and we made it to Moree which you have to divert off the highway to get to, had a quick look around town a big place similar to home we stopped down near the river for lunch, pretty busy place for a Sunday.
After looking at the map we decide to keep on going to Goondiwindi and pulled into the freedom caravan park around 3 o’clock, nice park very dry due to the ongoing drought, had a chat with the bloke running the place only been here for a week trying to get some water on the place and get a little green. First drink for Craig this trip after finishing his antibiotics, tastes good 🥃👍 just chilling sitting outside enjoying 24 degrees.Les mer

Woke up this morning to rain on the roof not a drought breaker for Goondiwindi a few millimetres, got a way at 9 this morning a short run up the Leichhardt hwy and then onto the Gore hwy heading for Toowoomba, stopped at Captains Mountain for a cuppa and got into the Toowoomba Motor Village at 12 our home for the next 2 days.
Had lunch and then went to the tourist info centre for a look got directions to the picnic point lookout, we had been here a few years ago with Sam and Maureen but it was completely fogged in not this time we had great views to the east over the lockyer valley, had a good wander around some off the walking tracks. Off to coles to pick up a bit of rump steak for the stew tonight, just chilling in the van with a drink listing to triple M country on fm radio, not sure why they don't do it home must think they are more country than us up here 😬😬Les mer

Off this morning to Brisbane for Teresa’s appointment with her naturopath, a nice drive through the Lockyer valley with all the veggie growing and then let the gps do the job to get us right into the city. We had to go into china town to pick up some herbal goodies and that took us around the Brisbane river frontage for a look and then we navigated our way back to the freeway to get us back to Toowoomba.
A fantastic day here about 24 degrees, still cool at night no good for sitting outside without a fire.Les mer

Left this morning at 9 nice to be moving on had enough of the city, Toowoomba is very big pretty much a city of its own, we headed north on the New England Hwy and then turned left onto the B85 which took us across to Esk a small village type town, we stopped for a cuppa and a wander around lots of relics and antique type shops. We headed north out of Esk to the D’Aguiler highway and then a right turn to the east through Kilcoy and then a right turn at Woodford on to the mount Mee road to Dayboro. A quick run up the Mt Brisbane road and we arrived at Pete and Thip Brophy’s for the night, great to see them again we had a quick check of Teresa’s new saddle that Pete is going to make, mucked around in the saddle shop for a bit, then was time for drinks and some of Thip and Katai’s magic Thai cooking.
A great night of eating and drinking with a lot of stories, thanks Pete, Thip and Katai.Les mer

What a great night we had last night at the Brophy’s, up early this morning and feeling pretty good after the drinking session last night, said our goodbyes and we headed back in to Dayboro and followed the road out to the Bruce highway north bound.
First stop was at Gympie for a cuppa and then a fair bit of road works stop and starting not unusual on the Bruce highway, Torbanlea was our next stop for lunch at a truck stop, back on the road and we arrived at Bundaberg East tourist park around 2, nice park with concrete slabs and your en-suite bathroom.
Time to do some washing in the avo and then we went to Sam and Maureen’s place in Innes park for a bbq tea and some drinks, was great to catch up again.Les mer

Another magic day in Queensland, had breakfast and then Robbo picked up us in the mustang, we went into the town centre to have coffee. Time to give the mustang a run so we went out to Bagara beach for a walk on the sand and a bit of a Cook’s tour around. Time for lunch so back into bundy to the brew house for pizza, very nice. Chilled out in the avo before packing our bags and getting picked up by Robbo to camp the night at his apartment on Bagara Beach, then we are off to Steve and Kay’s for dinner and the opening of the 25 year old Bookers bourbon 🥃 , the cork was cactus so out with the tea strainer happy days it tasted even better than it should super smooth, has been a long coming to get us all together so thanks to all for a great night.Les mer

Woke up this morning not too bad after the bookers bourbon and Teresa and Robbo making their mahito’s, down to Rick’s cafe in Bagara for breakfast it was very nice overlooking the ocean, back to the van for bit then off to the Bundaberg brew house for a tour and tasting, very interesting and you get to take six stubbies of your selection at the end of the tour. Lunch was next at the Guzman Y Gomez Mexican restaurant, that was good but nothing like our OzMex at home, we then headed off to the distillery for a look at the new shop very impressive full of every bundy product you could imagine. We left Robbo Steve and Kay and went to the Rametta’s for the avo, had a cuppa and a stroll on the beach and lot of chatting, said our goodbyes and headed to the Thai restaurant at Bagara for dinner, said our goodbyes to Steve, Kay and Robbo as we are heading further north tomorrow, thanks to everyone for our time at Bundaberg it was busy and great 👍Les mer
