Sep 2019, Nambucca Heads, NSW There’s a family camped next to the Prado’s with an old pop top. They’re an arty bunch and their caravan is brightly coloured and getting brighter as they all chip in hand painting it with … Continue reading Nambucca Noodlings – Just beachy
Sep 2019, Nambucca Heads, NSW We have another night punctuated with scratching, cursing and searching for the Stingoes. Those Wooli munchers really did a job on us and we’re such slow learners, we must remember that no happy hour can … Continue reading Nambucca Noodlings – A fiery sunset
Day 54, 5/9/2019 Thursday Wooli to Nambucca Heads, hot 25 We wake up scratching. Bloody midge bites, so much for the gorgeous sunset. Midges or not it’s hard to leave this relaxing place with well maintained lawns and gardens, river frontage and plenty of birdlife. We stop for a coffee in Woolgoolga (aka the Sikh town). We haven’t been here for years and we want to see how it has grown. It is much bigger and there is a second temple but we can’t smell the curry that was all pervading last time we camped here. The curve of beach … Continue reading Follow the Sun, Day 54 Nambucca Heads
Sep 2019, Minnie Water, NSW By the looks of this the Tree of Knowledge lookout on the headland at Minnie Water is a popular spot with the locals. Fancy a lazy chardy at sundown? And yes, there is a tree there, but I was captivated by the three chairs and the stories they could tell. Continue reading Tree of Knowledge Lookout
Day 53, 4/9/2019 Wednesday Wooli, warm Woody went off in search of oysters very early this morning…and won. The oyster shed is only open on certain days and he got lucky. He tells me that they are delicious. I’ll believe … Continue reading Follow the Sun, Day 53 – Minnie Water
Day 52, 3/9/2019 Tuesday Chinderah to Wooli, 27 We pull out of the park into peak hour traffic but thankfully most of the traffic is going north to the Gold Coast. Further enhancing my theory that Brisbane, Gold Coast & Sunshine Coast are rapidly merging into one very large city. Woody wants to know where they’re all going. How quickly we forget that some people do work. We’re contemplating this when we start bouncing. Oh shit! Not a puncture. We pull over and check the tyres, the car, the van. Gotcha! Bloody New South Wales concrete roads! We always forget … Continue reading Follow the Sun, Day 52 – Wooli or wonti?
Day 51 2/9/2019, Maryborough, Qld to Chinderah, NSW, 28 degrees It’s a bright sunny morning with only a few tweety birds to wake us. We had hoped to catch up with our mate the One Fish Wonder and his missus … Continue reading Follow the Sun, Day 51 – The plane, the plane!
Day 50, 1/9/2019 Sunday Cania Gorge to Maryborough, 5 – 26 It’s a treat to hear currawongs calling when you’re under the shower even if they are begging for food. Outside the sun is burning off the mist and whip … Continue reading Follow the Sun, Day 50 – Racing into Maryborough
Day 49, 31/8/2019 Saturday Cania Gorge, overcast low 20’s To make some room while making breakfast Woody puts the chook scraps out on the caravan drop down table. When we go outside to have a coffee there’s no sign of the bag just a bunch of cheeky currawongs and some fruit peel. Sorry chooks. We study the National Parks map and note that most of the walks seem to start at our park gate. Ok, we’ll do the Gorge View near Dragon’s Cave. It appears to be a short 2.5km, 1hour walk. It’s a warm morning and we wander along … Continue reading Follow the Sun, Day 49 – Gorged Out
Aug 2019, Yeppoon, Capricorn Coast, Qld We all meet upstairs at the Keppel Bay Sailing Club for the cheap and delicious calamari that Double or Nuthin’ has been raving about. We meet Double or Nuthin’ and Shirley at the club … Continue reading Keppel Bay Sailing Club
