Rob & Liz's Blessed Adventures

 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...

Hi lovelies, Today was our first “let’s go for a walk” day for a while.   😊 . We headed off for Abercrombie Caves, which are about 60km south-eastish of Bathurst.   Now the good news is – before we went I checked on the days they are open, and we actually found the caves without getting lost. The bad news – well none really.    The road to the caves off the highway is very narrow and very windy and with very steep drop-offs.   We actually followed the ranger car in, so if there was someone coming the other way he was going to meet them first.    We got our pass tokens to enter the caves and headed off.   The walk is only about 1 ½ km round trip, so not a big walk, and only one up-hill part and a long set of stairs down to the entrance of the caves. The area is very dry.   Grove creek runs through area and it was flowing. One of the first stop is where you cross a bridge and see where the creek has...

Well we are wandering home slowly, so we stopped in Cowra for 2 days then onto Bathurst for a week to do a bit more sightseeing. We found some interesting sights in Cowra including the railway museum, and the POW camp. We found the railway history museum interesting because we could wander through the old carriages and look at the round house workshop. My father was a railway man years ago so it was good to remember some things from way back. Old sleepers 1st class 2nd class seating One was the toilet where you had to 'hold it' while at the station as the it goes straight onto the track! The old style 1st class and 2nd class seating and sleepers was cool to see again. A shunter diesel Round house Loved seeing the old engines and rail cars as well. The round house used for servicing trains in the shed was good to see as well. Replica guard tower Cowra was the POW camp in the 2nd world war as it was isolated and the sight of an...
