During my last entry of Tamworth, I promised to bring our blog up to date. After having arrived in WA and finding Kununurra I decided to try to add current events and fill in the blanks at the same time. I have realised delaying uploads tends to dull the memory of all the detail. For instance, I forgot to mention that Bob lost his wedding ring in Tamworth and after a few phone calls we discovered it would have to be replaced. Having made a phone call to my trusty...

From Armidale to Tamworth. We both couldn't stop commenting on how beautiful this countryside is in Autumn.
