Barringun
On the Kidman Way the Barringun (NSW) Roadhouse is almost on the Qld border and can best be described as an absolute shocker in a sea of red dirt, but perhaps I’m talking it up. We stretch our legs have … Continue reading Barringun

Bramston Beach
It’s only a short 80km drive south of Cairns, Qld and exciting to turn off into cane farms. There are rich pastures of fat cattle and their accompanying egrets. As we drive into thick rain forest signs warn us to … Continue reading Bramston Beach
Rusty’s Market
Rusty’s Market in downtown Cairns, Qld lures us back to top up our fruit and veg supplies. The market is a brilliant cross section of the Cairns population. From South East Asia to Papua New Guinea to Pacific Islanders and … Continue reading Rusty’s Market
Coconut
Ingenia Cairns Coconut Resort is in every way a family holiday destination with even more cabins than the 200+ van sites. It is huge and busy with kids pedalling about. If not for the help of our neighbour we could not have made it into our site. It is beautiful with palms and shrubs and trimmed lawn but on an odd angle to the curving roadway. We dread repeating the process next Monday when we have to take the van north of the city to have the fridge repaired! There’s a cafe, mini golf, water park, two pools, spa, gym … Continue reading Coconut
Sandy Point Reserve, Hay
May 2018 We set up camp at Sandy Point Reserve on the banks of the Murrumbidgee at Hay, NSW just before we realised that our fridge had broken down. The reserve is on a large swathe of river floodplain with space enough for hundreds of RV’s.

It’s also a perfect stopover for Southerners travelling north. We’re going to have to return to this place when we’re less stressed. Continue reading Sandy Point Reserve, Hay

Silo Touring in Victoria
Our caravan club recently toured the Silo Trail in Western Victoria. Because of the distances involved it is wise to base yourself at the caravan park in Warracknabeal like we did or at the well-appointed RV Park in Brim. There is one more silo in this region at Patchewollock which we didn’t visit on this trip due to time constraints. Northern Silo Trail With excitement we share cars and set off on the ‘Northern Silo Trail’. Brim is only a short distance up the road and those who are new to this kind of art are gobsmacked at the proportions. … Continue reading Silo Touring in Victoria
