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 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...
