20220603 Qld St George

20220603 Our next stop is the St George caravan park to see the rain out that’s heading our way and hopefully catch up with our travel mate, Wendy.  We settle in and start the washing then get a call and bugger me dead if it isn’t Wendy who’s just arrived and is waiting to get booked in, OMG that girl gets around, it’s like one minute she’s heading to WA then the next she’s on our door step. The last time we were in St George a lady at the shops told us there’s a laundrymat at the caravan park we can use, so here we were washing our cloths, only to be told to get your cloths and get out of my park, lucky for us we were drying them and had just finished, it wasn't as though it was free, the cranky old bugger and I don't think he remembered us.

Wendy’s parked up, now it's time to get that dreded washing done, Arr it's a hard life when you’re just a weary traveller.

Check this cheeky hag out, relaxing in the camp kitchen while I do all the cooking, it’s ok, you just sit there and enjoy my company while I slave over the BBQ, cheers 😏🍷


Des and I take a bit of a walk along the park taking in the fresh air but mainly to get out of the van and streach our legs, but it's stll bloody cold.

Visit the Heritage Centre and brows the collection of artefacts, historical information, blacksmith, printing press, old gaol and courthouse, it's worth a look.

20220604 It's our last night here and once again we take over the camp kitchen as we do every afternoon while enjoying a few drinks and chatting to campers that come and go. Ken was a regular who joined us at happy hour and we had him laughing in no time. Ken and Sue, his wife were new on the road, they had a spiffy caravan that they were happy to show us and it was impressive.

Well! Did I get her a beauty, she was so smudge squirting  cream into her apple turnovers then came up to my face going, Yummm, so I pushed it into her face, Well! I was laughing so hard I couldn’t even take a photo of the cream all over her face, I wont repeat what she called me.😂😅

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...
