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.

New South Wales Adventure - Tenterfield

Hi lovelies, A little earlier start this morning than yesterday.  We were up having a lovely breakfast by 8am.   It was a little sad this morning as we said goodbye to Steph and Leo.  We have had such a blessed time with them and we look forward to catching up with them again when we head to South Australia next year. As the weather was drizzly today we decided to head off to visit some of the nearby National Parks.  Our day consisted of dirt roads, mossy paths, lots of kangaroos and very few cars.  Gramps we are very sorry but the O Mobile is in great need of a bath.  If it rains tonight I will be sending Robbie out in his swimmers to give it a wash. Our first stop was to see Thunderbolts Hideout.  It is a short walk through some bush to see where this apparently "gentlemanly" bushranger hid. It was then back into the car and off to see the Tank Traps that were part of the Brisbane Line.  It is a fairly visually unimpressive place for such an important part

Dylusions Dy-Cuts Art Journal

Hi Lovelies, This week's edition of Art Journal is very special, stunning and unique! We can't get enough of all the textures and colours going on in this page! We just love this.  This wonderful page features the Dylusions 'Dy-Cuts' which are quirky and colorful pre-cut shapes which make the perfect addition to any art journal page! You probably can already guess what paints we have used this week... The stunning, vibrant colours which are leaping of this page, are of course, Dylusions paints! When you take a closer look at you can see the texture and elements which have been layered to create this stunning page. A script stamp is perfect for layering and can fill in any gaps where you think something might be missing but not quite sure what! Helen has scattered some of the new Dina Wakley 'Collage Words' across the two pages. These are great as you can add a sentiment to your page whilst still allowing the colours from the background to
