Home Hill, Qld 2016 Our UHF aerial hasn’t been cutting the mustard lately so seeing that we’re camped directly behind the Jaycar electronics store Woody pops in and buys a new one. Next day……Wow this new aerial is a beaut, we now know that some poor Mum is looking for a playground in Home Hill for her kids and another is going to stop off in Airlie Beach for morning tea instead of Bowen. Commercial radio stations try beating that! Continue reading Mr Whippy
Winter 2015 We drive 25 kms north of Geraldton to Coronation Beach camp ground. It is quite a sight, the blue of the ocean, lines of breakers and the surf crashing in. People stroll about lazily their heads encased in … Continue reading Coronation Beach

Last year we popped into the Loddon Bridge Pub at Bridgewater on Loddon for a winter warmer. We were intrigued by the timber bar top and that it was chained down at one end. The lady behind the bar explained … Continue reading Loddon Bridge Hotel

The late summer weather in Melbourne has been superb this year. Warm sunny days that just make you say “Ah”. A few Saturdays back we parked the car at the western end of the Yarra River and just strolled the south bank of the river until lunch beckoned.

The factories have been replaced with office … Continue reading Summer’s Last Hurrah
We camp beside a couple of Kiwi lasses travelling on their six month limit. To retain their government entitlements they must return home every six months. They’ve been in Australia for six whole days and they are loving every minute … Continue reading A Couple of Kiwi Sheilas
Continuing our drive along the Waterfall Way: We drive on to the hamlet of Ebor about another half hour away and a gentle uphill climb most of the way. We can feel that we are on the top of the … Continue reading Ebor and the Waterfall Way
