Day 50 Tuesday 27/6/2023 Somewhere in Qld, warm (no temperature we’ve lost the internet) Hooray, there’s no smoke and a clear blue sky. Woody walks into town each morning for both exercise and to use the public toilets. Which doesn’t … Continue reading Yackety Yack, Day 50 – Long Drops & Laughing Birds
Day 49 Monday 26/6/2023 Somewhere in Qld, 15 – 28 some cloud Elle’s neighbours run their air conditioning all night long then start their truck at 6:00am and leave it running for 10 minutes. Aah, this is so peaceful. Woody takes the washing into town to the laundromat that advertises an opening time of 7:00am. He waits until 8:00 before giving up and returning for breakfast. After breakfast, he heads back down and is successful. “QLD time” mutters VeeWee. I visit the red long drop toilet having given up on the grey one as it is revolting. I open the … Continue reading Yackety Yack, Day 49 – Wide World of Wrestling Lizards
Day 48 Sunday 25/6/2023 Howard sunny 15 – 28 We wake to a fog, which always looks mysterious amongst the gums. Because of the burn-offs of the last few days the fog is trapping the smoke like a blanket, but … Continue reading Yackety Yack, Day 48 – Toogoom Too Good
Day 47 Saturday 24/6/2023 somewhere in Qld, sunny 11 – 26 Last week we were marvelling at the gold-plated toilet in Maryborough and now we’re holding our breath over a filthy drop toilet. I’m no stranger to drop toilets and … Continue reading Yackety Yack, Day 47 – Holy Smokes & Thunderboxes We’re Hungry!
Day 46 Friday 23/6/2023, somewhere in Qld, cloudy 11 – 26 Last night the TV aerial winder dropped out of the ceiling. For those who aren’t familiar with the workings of such things, the T Bar aerial on the roof … Continue reading Yackety Yack, Day 46 – Hello Siri? Help!
Day 45 Thursday 22/6/2023 Maryborough to a bush camp, sunny 9 – 23 As we can’t enter the bush camp until 11:00am and it’s not far away, we have a late start, but as we’re almost ready to go, the … Continue reading Yackety Yack, Day 45 – Goin’ Bush?
Day 44 Wednesday 21/6/2023 Maryborough, sunny 7 – 22 When a diesel heater starts it makes a tick, tick, ticking sound. Last night Elle woke to tick, tick, tick. She leapt out of bed to check the diesel heater and … Continue reading Yackety Yack, Day 44 – An author’s home
Day 43 Tuesday 20/6/2023 Maryborough, 7 – 23 sunny Woody and the girls wash the vans. I wash the floor and post a few blogs. It’s been a little awkward this trip, with poor reception posts take too long and eventually, I just give up and enjoy the sun instead. Woody has a hearing appointment in nearby Hervey Bay today. VeeWee has sourced a Brass Monkey fridge/freezer like ours for a better price and also in the Hervey Bay Area. She doesn’t have a freezer in the motor home so a compact Brass Monkey would be perfect. While Woody goes … Continue reading Yackety Yack, Day 43 – Hervey Bay
Day 42 Monday 19/6/2023 ‘Marybra’, warm 10 – 26 It’s a warm bright clear morning with dry air. Now is the time to get ahead of the little mouldy bits on the roof hatches again. We have a bush camp … Continue reading Yackety Yack, Day 42 – The Cistern Chapel
Day 41 Sunday 18/6/2023 Pomona to Maryborough, 8 – 24 With the legs up for a quick getaway, the van was a bit wobbly last night. It’s a clear cold morning. I don’t know what was in that chicken schnitzel … Continue reading Yackety Yack, Day 41 – Oh the joy of a level site
