Fernleigh Track Tunnel.


Hi lovelies,

Well we certainly slept well last night, and this morning parts of our poor bodies hurt just a little. 😊

 Not to be deterred I asked Robbie about going for a short walk to see the tunnel on the Fernleigh Track. 


 It was only 1km from the parking lot.  The track was all paved and fairly flat.  

Our only problem with this was that we went to the wrong car park.  So our nice 2km walk, turned into a slightly longer 5.8km walk.

It was a pleasant walk, and we did see some lovely sights.

These swans and ducks were having a little morning meeting on the river bank.

 One swan allowed us to get very close to him, though I was a bit sceptical about whether he would attack us or not.


Some birds having some morning tea.



Some abandoned rail items,



and finally we reached the tunnel.


 It was really cool to see, and we were glad we took the time to go.


This was the only safety drop in not bricked over.


There was a light at the end of the tunnel :-)



When we got back to the car, we were a little sore, and headed for Reid’s Reserve for a spot of lunch and some fishing for Rob and sketching for me.


No fish and no finished sketch, but Robbie did find a piece of abandoned art. 





Before dinner tonight we went for a walk up to the local shop and were rewarded by seeing these cute bunnies.



I am fairly certain there will be no walk tomorrow, and not sure how long before Rob trusts my “let’s go for a walk” suggestions.

All for tonight lovelies.
Stay safe 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

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
