Mulambin Mumblings – Hotel California

September 27, 2019September 26, 2019 Itching for Hitching

Aug 2019, Mulambin, Capricorn Coast, Qld For some time now Woody has been saying that he’d like to spend winter in one place (and preferably not home) and this year after our failed trip to Darwin we thought FNQ* might be our objective.
