And we're back.

Hi lovelies,

I know it has been a bit since we let you know where we were on our adventures.  Due to never-ending paperwork, we had to return to Toowoomba for a couple of days.  It was a mad rush visit, and we took a couple of days out to visit my mum and dad.  That was lovely.


 We are back on the road, but need to stick close to home for the next few weeks while we await more paperwork, but we are pleased to be able to get out and about again.


Today we left again and have arrived at Glendon Camping Centre for the next few days. 


It was pouring today when we arrived, and we set up the best we could, but soon found out that our site had no water.  Off to see the caretakers to find out what we could do.  They were so lovely and accommodating.  We moved the van to another area where there is a camp kitchen and we have been able to hook up there.  Thankfully it had stopped raining.


This park is mainly for off-road bikes and cars, and caters very well for them.  We are blessed that it was not very busy and so the area we are in has no other campers at all.  It is so lovely.  We overlook a creek, which does not have too much water in it despite the abundance of rain today.  I am just sorry I did not take a photo when we arrived.  Some of the water around our first site was calf deep. 



After setting up and having a spot of lunch we sat for a little and watched the local wildlife.  The gorgeous kangaroo and her joey that have been shown throughout this post were the highlight.  They were just so cute.



As too were the Apostlebirds who visited for a bit.  Then these 5 decided to have slumber party.  All I could think of was "There was one in the bed and the little one said....."  Now you will have that song stuck in your head for the next week.  You're welcome. 😇
 

This little one also joined us, but we do not know what type it is, so any help would be wonderful.



When the birds and skippy left we decided to go for a bit of a walk.  The area has some wonderful parkland, and we found this little fellow as well.


Tomorrow we off to discover some of the other areas in the grounds, weather permitting.

Take care 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

It's all about the birds.

Hi lovelies, Did you all manage to keep warm last night.  It was a little chilly here, which was not helped by the fact that we left the outer door to the van open.  What silly people we are. Today was such a beautiful day. We went for a short drive to the dam on the property. It is obvious that the dam is suffering from the lack of water, but we were blessed to see some gorgeous birds. On returning to the van we were met by a number of birds that decided it was time for their lunch. We are so blessed to have such a variety of birdlife around the van. Remember to sing the song - "There was one in the bed..... "   They are quite inquisitive,  but keep an eye on the humans just to make sure we are not going to do anything untoward. This gorgeous butcher bird decided that as I had vacated my chair it was all for him.  He entertained Rob with a concert.  He did not even seem to concerned when I returned. We were also
