05122011 Qld Hervey Bay

20111205 Where will we go now, there's so much to choose from what about Hervey Bay to see Margie & Boko in their new home.  Shit we are nearly out of petrol need to find a petrol station real quick thank god for my trusty Nav & we made it with a very small amount of fuel left, silly Des He won't do that again.  We arrived late in the afternoon & all I can say is thank god for my Nav I don't think we would ever have found their place without it.  Margie arrived home from work; we organized dinner & Jack was turning up around 7.00pm.  Lovely food, a couple of bottles of wine for Margie & I beer for the boys all put together makes for a great night with lots of laughs. 

06122012 We had a lazy day the weather has been shit raining nonstop what a bummer as Boko was going to take us out in his boat.  Boko & Des went to town I stayed home & worked on my Blog & watched a movie when Margie got home from work & we started again had another great dinner & of cause don't forget the wine & beer, this is becoming a bad habit but man it's fun.

07122013 Before we left, I had to take a photo of the house Boko is building, he's still got a long way to go but once its finished it will look great.  At the moment there living downstairs but it's very comfortably.  We all had a great time but when you gota go, you gota go, but we will be back.

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 w...

Image
20240608  We arrived at Tony’s house and because his land is uneven Will, his neighbour was kind enough to let us park on his nice lawn. Des always put a jack under the steps for extra support when Tony yelled out, is that so Leonie doesn’t break the steps, No I said it’s in case you want to come in, Ha!Ha got ya.  I collecting wood from down the back while the boys did nothing apart from bending their elbows drinking beer and  because the guys were too lazy, leave it up to the only female. 50 Cans per shelf Tony recons and I’m sure he would know, he fills it every day.😁 So our Tony feed the Kookaburras with a special dog food that’s good for them and his theory is they keep the snakes away. We had a funny night while sitting around the fire that I built, and the conversation about the people we have all known while downing a few too many beers. Will worked with Dick and knew his brother who was killed in a tragic Crain accident in Darwin many years ago, we certainly liv...

20240520 NSW Deepwater to Coolatai

Image
20240520 So here we are once again back in Deepwater and parked in our old spot, how special it is to be able to connect to power, it’s like luxury especially when you’re travelling. Later in the afternoon Chris, a guy we meet last time we were here came to say Hi, then we joined him in the bar for a few ales with more of the locals. 20240521 We had the heater going all night and the van in the morning is still bloody freezing, let’s travel in winter he says, it’ll be great he says, ya sure if you like freezing all night. Des goes outside to wash up and what he thought was a dish left behind turned out to be his frozen dish cloth, I told you it was cold.🥶  We left the Longhorn and headed back to the Common Campground for a few days, we have become very fond of the spot, it’s so peaceful and secluded and has heaps of wood. We had a great few days enjoying our surroundings with no one in site, just the occasional car passing by and the only evidence is the dust off the dirt road. No...
