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.

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
