20160328 Tas Diana's Basin- St Helens

20160328 Driving through St Mary's then onto Lagoon’s Beach campgrounds only it didn’t appeal to us, so we left to check out Falmouth mainly because of the name before settling into a great camp at Diane’s Basin on the edge on an inlet and the bonus is we are the only one’s here.

As I’m the fire bug I go in search of wood and returned to strike the fire and settled in for a night full of piss and laughter.
We sat outside around the fire watching the sun go down over the lake and got merrily pissed while laughing at whatever came out of our mouths.










29-03-2016 After a funny late night we didn’t show our heads till after 10am, still feeling a bit fuzzy from all the alcohol we consumed.

Des recovering from our big night, he reckons it was around 2pm when we went to bed and he’s certainly feeling the after affects, the big sook.






We need to walk off the hang over so off we go in search of some more wood, a chain saw would be good, which we have but because it has to be emptied when coming across the Spirit of Tassie dear old Des hasn’t brought any fuel for it, Da!, just buy some.

Ha, Des I was just told you can catch fish in here, so being the fisherman he is, NOT! he got his fishing rod out.  I was in fits of laughter just watching him get prepared, it goes like this:







1st There’s no latch to hold the door up, swearing and cursing
2nd I held the door so he could get the lines out which were all tangled, more swearing and cursing.
3rd Untangling the lines with me trying to help while peeing myself laughing.
4th Gets hook in finger, how can this possibly be enjoyable, still peeing myself laughing.
5th Finally throws the line in and sits there complaining, I cannot see how anyone thinks this is fun.
6th After 5 minutes he throws bate away.
7th Now the Dilemma of putting the rods away, well! I gotta tell ya I had tears of laughter through the complete saga.

He starts out looking all keen and professional.
After a few minutes he bored, fishing just isn’t his forte.
Me need food, catch me fish or me club ya, me club you anyway.
Then he marks his territory as he does at every camp spot.
With our music blasting Des spins me many old yarns as we laugh the night away.
Boogaloo Des gets into it, you go Des.












Gee! what can I say, we had a great couple of days and an even more fabulous couple of night and so far not even a fight, I know, it’s hard to believe.

20190825 Qld Charleville Rock Pool

Image
20190825 About 12ks before Charleville there’s a Rock Pool that was once a quarry and in the summer months a great place to take a dip and cool off but now it’s a great place to camp while sitting around a fire with good friends enjoying and cold ale and what better reason but to catch up with Dick. We joined Dick for a run into town for supplies and stopped to check out the Tower Mural, featuring the youths of Charleville intertwined through sports, painted in a 3D style around a tall, narrow 30-metre-high tower. Our camp for the next few days with Dick’s music blasting out the camp and yes, we had to turn it down because it was keeping a baby awake, next time I’m putting up a sign “NO KIDS ALOUD”. The boys go in search of wood and drags back a large log, now that’s the way to do it Dick. Sit on the log Dick, so I can get a photo, ya sure that will never happen, spoil sport. Gee! somebody looks pleased with himself; anyone would think he cooked it, I guess it

20150809 WA Moora, New Norcia, Bindoon

Image
20150809  The town of Moora came from the Aboriginal name 'Moora' which means blowfly and is situated in one of the most interesting wildflower areas of the state and is the largest town between Geraldton and Perth, well! all I can say is, all the other towns must be bloody small.  The rolling hills on the way to Moora are a blaze with the vivid yellow flowers of canola and are just breath taken and apparently it smells like cabbage. Canola is grown for its seed which is crushed for the oil used in margarine, cooking oil, and a few more. The properties of the oil fits with the current view that human health is better served by increasing the intake of mono and poly unsaturated fats in place of saturated fats The Drovers Inn was built in 1909 and stands on the intersection of the town. The historical buildings are what gives this town it's charm. The New Norcia Benedictine Community is the official title of the group of Roman Catholic monks who have

20210421 NSW Standing Stones to Tenterfield

Image
20210421 We woke to a 1 degree bloody freezing morning, thank god we have a diesel heater, we meet a couple who came in late yesterday afternoon who didn't have a heater at all, stuff that. Des decided to go back to Glen Innes and find the Australian Standing Rocks, as they are called, not Stonehenge as I thought so I set google map for the site and within 10 minutes good old Google guided us in the correct direction. The Stones were created in 1991/92 and the stones commemorate all Celtic people who helped pioneer Australia. The Stones acknowledge the contribution to Australian culture made by people from the Celtic nations of Scotland, Ireland, Cornwall, Wales, the Isle of Man, Brittany, Asturias and Galicia. Look! is that a little leprechaun roaming the grounds .😏 The Ancient Celts were farming people who lived across Europe and the British Isles around 2600 years ago and raised stones as calendars to mark the change of seasons to help indicate when they should sow and harvest.
