The last few days.

Hi lovelies,

For those who have messaged to ask where is the blog the past few days, I am sorry but I think this photo says it all.


On Sunday it was still very warm.  I did a bit of journaling in the morning, and Robbie did some paper chasing when I moved my paperweights without thinking. 



In the afternoon it was off to Brunswick Heads for a spot of fishing, where a fish of legal size was caught.

Then it was time to cool off in the river with a quick swim.  No photos of me in bathers 😛


Yesterday it was time for us to move from Mullimbumby to Kyogle.  I had planned the stops on the way, and it will perhaps be the last time we do not just drive to the appointed caravan park, and then do our tours from there.  Some roads were less than desirable for towing a van, other areas had not parking for a car and van.  A good lesson to learn.


We did manage a picture of the Nimbin Rocks, where we hope to return to soon to see the rest of the town.

We set up at the Kyogle Showgrounds and settled in for an afternoon nap.


Today we set of to see some of the sights we were not able to get to yesterday.  The first of these was the Open Air Cathedral at Bexhill. 


This site was dedicated in 1958, and is so lovely and peaceful.  The only regular service is sunrise on Easter Sunday, and I think it would be amazing to be there for it.






We then ventured into Lismore to see the street art that is now displayed over the inner lanes of 3 streets in the city.  I was great to see and the talent displayed was wonderful.  These are just a few of my favourites, apart from the first photo on this post.





Then it was off to the Art Gallery where this painting on the outside of the building has just been finished.


In the same area was this sculpture which was to represent the working together of the community after the 2017 floods.



We then headed for an area which housed a European Cemetery and Bora Ring.  No photos allowed at these sacred sites.  The information on the area was a little light on, but we could see where things had been.  Some of the graves in the cemetery were from last year, so it is still in use.

On the way back into Kyogle we spotted this lovely fellow, however we have not yet been able to ascertain why he is important to the area.


Tonight I write the blog from my very picturesque and secluded driveway in Toowoomba.  We have returned for a few day to offer some pre and post-operative love to one of our babies who will have all 4 wisdom teeth removed on Thursday.  So pleased we are able to be here for him.

We will be back on the road again soon, but this is our last blog until then.

Stay safe and keep enjoying life.

Love us.

 Hi all, Here a brief overview of our 2 day adventure on Fraser Island with Fraser Island Explorer Tours. Here is a link to our trip in video format.  https://youtu.be/QY8tr093G4o We were picked up from our accommodation by our tour guide who then picked up some more of our group and headed to the barge to go across to the Island. It was very smooth no seasickness this time :) We got on the 4x4 wheel bus and headed inland to Lake Mackenzie. This was a very picturesque spot. The water was very cool and the sand as white as we've seen it. After this we headed to Central station , the old tree clearing head quarters. Next we headed for Lake Wobby which was a 45 min trek in and 45 out across lots of sand. It sits on a big sand-blow which will eventually disappear. A small fresh water lake with a couple of cat fish in it. Then off to our accommodation for the night. The next day we headed out to run the beach pretty much all day heading all the way up to Champagne Pools. We eventually w

Hervey Bay and the case of the missing whales.

 Hi lovelies, It has been some 8 months since our last post.  Travel around the world has certainly changed in 2020. We had not planned to do too much traveling in the first half of the year, but we quickly discovered that us making that decision and the government telling us that we won't are two very different things. :-). Feeling the need for a bit of a break, and a touch of fishing we headed for Hervey Bay on Wednesday. We had a great drive up, even managed to stop for a quick chat with the lovely Shirley in Cooya.   On Thursday we headed for a quick trip to the information centre.  To my surprise Robbie wanted to book another whale watching cruise.  We spoke at length to the agent there and finally chose what was supposed to be the calmest day for the next week.  It was then off for a drive along the coast line from Point Vernon to Urangan.   The day was beautiful, though there were large patches of mist/fog that hung around some of the coast.  We had a lovely wander along the

New South Wales Adventure - Tenterfield

Hi lovelies, A little earlier start this morning than yesterday.  We were up having a lovely breakfast by 8am.   It was a little sad this morning as we said goodbye to Steph and Leo.  We have had such a blessed time with them and we look forward to catching up with them again when we head to South Australia next year. As the weather was drizzly today we decided to head off to visit some of the nearby National Parks.  Our day consisted of dirt roads, mossy paths, lots of kangaroos and very few cars.  Gramps we are very sorry but the O Mobile is in great need of a bath.  If it rains tonight I will be sending Robbie out in his swimmers to give it a wash. Our first stop was to see Thunderbolts Hideout.  It is a short walk through some bush to see where this apparently "gentlemanly" bushranger hid. It was then back into the car and off to see the Tank Traps that were part of the Brisbane Line.  It is a fairly visually unimpressive place for such an important part
