Left at our usual time of 8am and headed northwards. Oh, my goodness to get across the other side of Sydney takes forever, three and half hours later we were finally at Brooklyn where we stopped for lunch and then felt we were finally on holidays. We travelled on and finally ended up at Taree for the night at the Dawson River Caravan Park really quite nice. Very long drive but we needed to get to Casino by Friday. So off we tottered for another 400km drive on...

We had left home the previous Saturday to stay in Lane Cove where we were cat-sitting Georgie and Leo for Karina and Rory who were in New Zealand for a couple of days and luckily this coincided with our being part of the Anzac service.

Finally docked at about 7pm and then got called to our deck to sit in our car for ages trying to get off. The contro...

Left Deloraine and really did not have to far to travel up to Devenport for our next stop prior to the boat but we did a huge round about trip going up and down different sides of the river. The weather was clearing slightly and we did some high mountains as they were in our way. A spot we did stop at was notifying us of an easy walk for 30 minute return to a gorge view. So yes we could do this - I lasted maybe 50m before having to go back to the car, the tra...
