After two weeks of sunshine and blue skies in Hervey Bay it was time to move off again. We headed inland a short distance to Cania Gorge National Park, where we intended to get out again for some bush walking. We drove into the park and up to the Cania Dam, hoping to find somewhere to free camp. Unfortunately there is no free camping to be had. So it was back out of the park and stop at the Cania Gorge Tourist Park. This is a quiet little caravan park right at t...

We just realised that is has been over two weeks since our last update... time gets away when you're so busy. Our first day at Inverell saw us drying out the camper tent, all of the annexe and everything else that was soaked due to the precipitation at Coffs Harbour. The day was grey and dull but it did not rain, so it was a success. The next couple of days we had similar conditions, grey skies, no sun and light wind. Then the rain caught up with us again....

We were having breakfast in the annex, discussing what we should do regarding staying or going (the decision was made to stay another night and stick it ou...

We knew of a caravan park that would be sheltered from the wind at least and set up cam...

Hi again!! Stuarts Point...we like it so much we're reluctant to move on! We've had dolphins swim right past us, Paul has had a great time fishing, we've enjoyed being on the beach, and it's slowly getting quieter in the park as everyone goes back to work and the kids will soon be back at school...then it will be quiet...ahhhhh....we knew it would be a bit crazy on the coast at this time of year, but it's probably been better than we expected...or we're getting...
