The best weather we have had so far was back at Pilliga Bore Bath and since then the days have been between 17-20degrees and overnights being 1-2 degrees. Night times around the campfires we are rugged up with layers of clothing. Some mornings the diesel heater is flicked on to put some warmth in DABUS and breaky is always in DABUS, as it's too cold to sit outside. So after saying our goodbyes to Sheryl & Brian at Cooper Creek, we did a quick drive into Win...

Heading north from Pilliga towards Burren Junction, the 30km road is currently under construction and the detour was a muddy sidetrack for about 3km. The first job we had when arriving at Burren Junction was to pull out the hose and wash DABUS. After hearing some very negative feedback about Burren Junction Bore Baths, which we have previously enjoyed twice before, it was a pleasant surprise to see the Bath was actually clean. Both times we have been here previo...

One of the iconic landscapes of inland Australia, Pilliga Forest (or sometimes called the Pilliga Scrub) is made up of Pilliga Nature Reserve, Timmallallie National Park, Pilliga West, and East State Conservation Areas. Pilliga is a vast forest that spans more than half a million hectares and features 2,000km of public access trails. A couple of years ago, we visited the Pilliga Bore Baths and thought we had 'done' the Pilliga. It was only after seeing Cuppa ...

Before leaving on this trip, we knew we were going to travel along 'The Snowy Valleys Way' but we are winging it from here. Our destination from Gundagai is to get to hopefully warmer weather and to the Artesian Bore Baths. On leaving Gundagai, we drove a hop, skip and jump along the Hume Highway, before diverting off at Coolac. Driving on main highways is not what we intend to do, if we can avoid it. The countryside has changed around us; we are now travellin...

On saying our goodbyes to the Winton Wanderers, we set off to Beechworth where a visit to Beechworth Honey was in order. On sampling only a few honeys, we both settled on the Ironbark Honey. We had travelled with drizzling rain since Winton and stopped down at Lake Sambell and enjoyed lunch inside DABUS. After lunch we headed to the Information Centre to obtain information on 'The Snowy Valleys Way". We pull up out the front of the Info Centre and we hear someon...
