Just a quick catch up.

Hi lovelies,

For the past two days we have done nothing, zip, nada.  Rob thought about going and hitting some golf balls but the chair called instead.  It was so lovely just to sit and chill.



This morning we packed up, left Glendon Camping Grounds and headed west for a massive 64km, to Lake Coolmunda, which is just east of Inglewood.



The camp ground is lovely and we have set up between some trees.  Such a quiet lovely spot.

After setting up we headed into Inglewood for some staples and a quick look around, then back to the van for lunch and a nap.


We decided we would take a quick drive to the lake.  It is a lovely area.  Like most areas the lake is suffering from the drought.


The water is a long way back from the edge.  The lake is closed for swimming, boating and many activities due to an algae outbreak.



The birds don't seem to have got the memo.  There is such a wide variety of birds on the water.  We will return tomorrow with the camera to get some better shots.


We were saddened to see a turtle who had had his shell smashed with a hammer by some horrid human.  According to one of the locals it is a bit of a common occurrence.  So sad.

After a walk down to the edge of the water we decided to take the road around the lake and have a bit of a look around.

 
Then we found some really cool letterboxes.
 

Robbie had to do some reversing,


and a u-turn so I could get the shots. 


We will be here for a week.  We have some exploring, some chilling, some journalling and some fishing on the agenda.

Stay safe lovelies 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

A couple of days in Sydney.

Hi Lovelies, What a wonderful time we have had in Sydney.   Please note this post is very picture heavy, and pretty wordy as well.   Monday morning we left just after 9am to head into the city to visit my brother Michael.     I will admit that I was a little nervous of the traffic, which is why we waited until after the rush hour to leave.   We did very well I think and the GPS keeps us on track.
