20120304 Vic Flinders on the Mornington Peninsula

20120304 We camped up in what look like a vacant block and went for a walk, but nothing was opened except for the Pub so why not take advantage, this was a lovely pub with nice company.  We had a good chat with the Bar Tender had a couple of drinks then headed home, it was starting to drizzle so we had to quicken our pace and made it just in time.  So far, we have avoided the floods, but I would love to get some photos of it, I better be careful what I wish for.

20120305 Washing done in Hasting now to head for Flinders on the Mornington Peninsula.  We parked up the for a walk along another Jetty, got to love the Jetties.  Des had his usual nanny nap while I updated this bloody Blog, I love it but man it takes your time.  The weather is still shitty so it's prawns and salad for tea followed by videos and a few wines & beers.  We couldn't believe it the water is freezing yet their bus loads of people suiting up to go snorkeling, but I must admit the water looks inviting it's so clear and blue I would love to go swimming but I just not that brave. Flinders at sunset, not a very nice beach, full of seaweed but the water is as clear as.


The new and old Jetty makes for a good walk and some picks to pass the time but it was very windy, Des has had enough and is going home holding his hat all the way.


06-03-2012  Woke to another shitty cold day we would like to unhook the bike and ride around the Peninsula but the weather it holding us back.  My kitchen rules was cooking up a storm for brekky with the seagulls watching on or should I say waiting for a feed.

Your getting thisss much.

Des with his mates.




Not bad for an apprentice.
Des is continually loosing his glasses and their on his head, I told you he's loosing his mind orrr, could I be baiting him? stay tuned for the next bulletin on "Des Loosing his Mind" ha ha ha (that's my witch's laugh). 

I just love these jetties can't you tell but I can't remember where i took this one just tooo many Jetties.




One of the natives around our camp but don't no it's name, one for you Doug.







06-03-2012  All packed up and on the road again, now where SHALL we go, Cape Schanck to check out the Lighthouse looks good, shit he's low on fuel, now why doe's that not surprise me, he's always running low then he freaks out, well there go's Cape Schanck.  Out comes the not so trusty Nav searching for the closest fuel station so we headed for Rosebud.  We found fuel and when Des went to pay for it he nearly had a heart attack, no just kidding, but when he returned he was all smiles, it seems the attendants were all envious and were asking him all sorts of questions, where did you come from, how long have you been traveling and wishing it were them.

20250406 What an amazing experience, we are so proud of our little man Hamish after being excepted to be part of a high level U12 squad to travel to Spain to participate in the MICFootball Tournament. (Costa Brava, Barcelona). MICFootball is one of the most prestigious youth football tournaments in the world that’s been running for over 20 years. Many of the highest quality and well known clubs from around the world participate in this tournament every year. Teams such as FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, Liverpool FC and Bayern Munich just to name a few and now that day has finally arrived and we are all very excited. Des prepared us  a late lunch,  his famous prawn cutlets that we pigged out on before heading to the airport, we had a clear run all the way and arrived in ample time so after our goodbyes we watched as Des drove off until he returns in three weeks to pick us up. Des drops us off and with our suit case in tow we head inside to check in our luggage, let the fun begin. F...

20240911 NSW Moonbi Lookout to Walcha, Aratula to Home

Image
20240911 On our way towards Tamworth, we heard there rain heading our way so our aim is to park at the lookout in Moonbi that has solid ground. The wood has been stripped around the camp site so I walked deeper into the bush and returned with a bag, there’s no stopping me when it comes to my fires. Des prepared dinner while I set up the fire, we had dinner then sat around my nice fire while sitting under the nights stars and enjoying a few ales. We had a new camper turn up today and camped just in front of us with his little Jack Russell Dog who came for a visit and took a liking to Des. The Moonbi Lookout, Perched on a huge granite outcrop at an elevation of 754m (2,473ft) above the sea level. The View overlooking the valley below, stunning. The Moonbi Lookout is off the New England highway then follow the Lookout Road to the car park at the top where there is plenty of room for overnight parking. When camping at the lookout follow the track and check out the old stone built amenities...

20240909 NSW Baan Baa

20240909 We left Narrabri looking for Gin’s Leap rest area that’s apparently is on the highway and I have no doubt there will be lots of traffic noise. OMG! We just passed a fox sitting on the edge of the road that looked like a lost puppy, or it had a full belly from pigging out on the dead carcass or maybe it was just watching the traffic go by.  The road from Narrabri is a smooth drive, so far, as we search for a place to camp, when we spotted a road to the left so Des turned off and there in the middle of nowhere stood an old pub in the town of Baan Baa. W e asked if we could say the night, sure the young barmaid said, the meals looked delicious, they had my favourite crumbed lamb chops so thats me sorted for dinner.  I walked the town and got some photos before retiring to the van for a nap while listening to the laughter coming from the Pub so later in the afternoon we cracked a beer, drank it then off to the pub we went. Des found his place at the bar. On opening the do...
