Another lovely day

Hi lovelies,

This morning we set of for the little town of Gloucester. The drive through was so very pretty, and the roads were not too bad.

We had a walk around the town gardens and checked out the Human Sun Dial.

This was so cool, and while we were shocked it was accurate I think we should not have been so skeptical.

The gardens in the town also hold a number of sporting centres. The pool, tennis, so car, netball, croquet, football and cricket. Great for parents who have kids doing different sports I think. All in one spot.

A walk along the river bank gave views of crystal clear water, which I can only imagine would have been a tad cool.

We spotted some birds and random poles.

From Gloucester we ventured to see the Monkerai Bridge. I had seen this on a web site as something worth a visit. It is the second oldest timber truss bridge in NSW.

The site did say that the bridge was closed for repairs, but that detours were in place. You know that Robbie is always up for a road adventure. We turned off the highway and immediately hit a dirt road 🤣.

It was only 6km to the bridge, but the road did have some scary drop off bits. When we got to the bridge it was closed for repairs, but no detours and you could not see anything other than security fencing. 😞.

We did however see some camels. Nearly as good.

Our next destination was the lovely village of Dungog, the home of Max Walker.

Again lots of lovely old buildings.

An amazing cinema.

We even managed to catch some passengers who had got off a train for a stretch. We did wonder what adventure they were off on.

We had a few stops on the way home to take pictures of random bridges.

Stopped at Stroud Road to visit Limestone Farm and see what their market shop had on offer.

A detour into the Monastery of The Blessed Virgin Mary just outside Stroud. Another place you could not go in, but could take photos.

It was then back to the van for a rest and relax and receive a visit from this cheeky one.

Finally a random letterbox, taken outside a bakehouse.

Such a fun day.

All for now lovelies,

Take care 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 plac...
