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 eventua...

Three days in the snow.

Hi lovelies, We have had the most amazing 3 days at the Perisher Valley Snowfields. Warning this is a very text heavy post.  Photos are limited, you cannot take many while you ski/board.  Robbie will have a video soon. On Monday we headed up just for a drive and to see what was around.   The day was perfect.   Not too windy and bright and sunny. We parked at Bullock Flats and caught the Skitube to Perisher.   This is really the best way to get there.   Nice highway all the way, and while the train is a little expensive at $55.00 per head return it is preferable to an extra hour drive on roads that may be a little less than ideal.   There is also only limited parking at Perisher so the train is the way to go.   We had a bit of a look around Perisher before heading off to Blue Cow, again by Skitube. It was so lovely to wander around.      We were thankful that we hired boots as it wa...
