After a couple of very pleasant days beside the Murray, it was time to head back into NSW. We made our way first to a free camp at Grong Grong and then onto Junee golf club where we expected to stay a couple of nights with Chris getting in some games of golf. Junee is known for the home of Ray Warren and Laurie Daly, both Aussie sporting icons with a park named after Laurie and a statue of Ray in the town. We explored the town, found the statue and park and then...

We made it up the coast as far as Seaforth, now our third stay at this great little spot. The place was still quiet as it's early in the season and I think the devastation caused by Cyclone Debbie earlier in the year has meant people have left their trips up the coast a bit later. There were signs of the devastation of Cyclone Debbie everywhere but the council were doing a good job of repairing all the damage and removing fallen trees. The only familiar face we s...

Where does the time go? It doesn't seem that long ago that Christmas was just over and we were planning our trip to New Zealand. Now that's behind us and we are making new plans. We had a great time in NZ, managing to get 2 house sits while we were there.

With a bus stop right outside we explored as much as we could t...

A camping area, 24 kms from Beaudesert in the hinterland of the Goldcoast. Quiet now with the school holidays and Australia Day behind us, it's a beautiful lush and green camping area next to the Albert river. We are making the most of the peace and quiet and the hot weather, enjoying swimming ...

While we were at Varsity, we went on a Whale Watching cruise out of Southport. This is our second whale watching trip and I'm again left a little bit (unreasonably) disappointed.The boat and staff were great, the weather was good and we did see some whales but as we all know they live under the ocean and we didn't get to see too much of them above it performing their antics as we would have liked. I know, I'm the unreasonable one! My brother Simon and his family...
