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.

Final wrap up of our NZ visit

We have had an amazing time visiting the South Island, and also a few days in the North at Wellington to mainly visit the WETA workshop. On Saturday the 29th Nov we flew up to Wellington for a few days to have a look about and visit the WETA workshop. Wellington did live up to its reputation of being windy. Its a nice city built around a harbor. Most things are easy walking distance from the city centre.  We took a few walks along the harbor. Elizabeth wanted to try what they call white bait. It looks like worms with eyes. It was cooked with egg. Neither of us were a great fan of this. We took the cable car up the mountain to see the sights and buy more souvenirs :).   Our main objective was to visit the WETA workshop who have lots of special effects and prosthetics used in films such as LOTR.  The shop was amazing with lots of expensive models but also prints and other items at reasonable rates. We had orders from family for few things and we also purchased a couple...

Caves Beach

Hi all, another day of exploring this terrific area. We went to visit Caves Beach today and had to do so at low tide due to the caves accessibility being blocked at high tide. The beach itself was a long and flat where the tide moves up the beach some 15-20 m from low to high. The main claim to fame are the beach caves. The water has eroded a number of small and large caves that aren't deep but very interesting. Some have swallows living within them. You can make your way around the bay by going through the cave to the next area. 1 area we had to time it so as not to get too wet as the tide washed through. After exploring the caves we wandered back to do the walk on the cliff edge (not that close). It was great to get a good view of the area. We even spoke to some fisherman who were fishing from the cliff. (yes they caught a Kingfish that we saw). We then looked up the Petrified Forest near the entrance to the Lake Macquarie , S...
