Day 113 Thursday 1/10/20 Canowindra to Grenfell, sunny 19 We decide on a late start so that we can have a good look at the town when the businesses are open. It’s also a good excuse for Elle and I … Continue reading Banned on the Run, Day 113 – We only stopped for a cuppa
Day 112 Wednesday 30/9/20 Lake Burrendong to Canowindra, wet 18 Rain starts during breakfast. Just enough to make packing up a bit mucky. The forecast says to expect this for most of the day, but we can’t complain as most … Continue reading Banned on the Run, Day 112 – A little sheepish
Day 111 Tuesday 29/9/20 Lake Burrendong A closer look at the park reveals a bit of a shambles. A lot of the permanent cabins are overgrown and in need of maintenance and one gets the overwhelming feeling to start pulling … Continue reading Banned on the run, Day 111 – Beauty is in the detail
Day 110 Monday 28/9/20 Quirindi to Lake Burrendong, 19 It got down to about 8 degrees overnight. The gas hot water service coughed and gasped a few times. Woody changed the gas bottle over and it started like a charm. … Continue reading Banned on the Run, Day 110 – What’s the backup plan?
Day 109 Sunday 27/9/20 Uralla to Quirindi, -1 to 19 blue sky clouds Of course, it’s an icy cold morning. The van smells different. It’s funny how a change of temperature or air or location changes the feel and smell … Continue reading Banned on the Run, Day 109 – Country Comfort at The Imperial
Day 108 Saturday 26/9/20 Mylestom to Uralla, New England, up on the plateau blue skies with strong icy winds up to 60kmh, 7 degrees. We’re a little anxious as we’ve never towed the vans up the Waterfall Way before. It’s … Continue reading Banned on the Run, Day 108 – On the road again
Day 107 Friday 25/9/20 Mylestom, hot northerly 29 The Prado’s anxiously await the arrival of the man from ABCO Caravan Repairs. He should just put a tracking device on us we always have something in need of repair. He quickly fixes the leak replacing their old hose with a shiny new red one. It’s great service and a fair price and so good to know whenever we’re on the Coffs area. El Prado goes down to the RSL Club to buy a box of beer (the Club doubles as the local pub in a small town like this). He’s met … Continue reading Banned on the Run, Day 107 – Chances are
Day 106 Thursday 24/9/20 Mylestom, sunny 24 Shopping in Toormina and strolling around Sawtell I spot a blouse on sale. It’s a perfect chance to grab a bargain before going home and without risking a busy shopping centre. We all take walks on the beach at various times, though I doubt that the others talk to the birds. No, rethinking that I think El Prado probably would as we’ve sprung him chatting to quite a few furry and feathered friends on this trip. We have new neighbours and they tell us that they were touring Tasmania in March. They spent … Continue reading Banned on the Run, Day 106 – A Mess of Musings

Day 105 Wednesday 23/9/20 Mylestom, warm 26 I’m processing a few photos when I hear banging outside. I look out the window to find a brush turkey beating the hell out of a zip lock bag of bread that I’d left on the table earlier. I chase after him and he takes off, bag in beak, strong legs pounding across the park. Woody goes for a long walk along the river while listening to a podcast when a chap on a first floor veranda calls out to him. The guy had been hosing his veranda when the top door had … Continue reading Banned on the Run, Day 105 – Talking turkey…
