Christmas in July

Hi lovelies,

Another fabulous day.

Today I got up around 6am, and it was a little warmer than yesterday’s -4. No frozen pipes or crunchy mats and shoes.

When I poked my nose out of the van there were these lovely skippies having their breakfast.

A lovely view. There was the odd gust of nippy wind so I did not stay outside too long.

This morning we headed into Cooma to grab a part from the hardware store.

Surprisingly there was a market on at the same time. What could we do but wander around.

We got some award winning honey from a local supplier.

I managed to grab a beanie from the local CWA stall, and Robbie grabbed one from the Cancer Council Stall.

Then a trip to the tourist centre to get some info on going to the snow fields. That then lead to a trip to the ski hire store where we got fitted out for some fun in the next few days.

There were lots and lots of people heading back to from the snowfields. The traffic was more than we have seen in a long time.

It was then a short drive to Bredbo to find the Christmas Barn.

This place is amazing. I really do not have adequate words to describe it.

It must be the happiest place to work.

They were playing carols and burning Christmas scented candles.

The store is open from July 1 to December 23 each year and they were so busy with not just visitors,

but locals getting their Christmas decoration themes organized early.

It was so hard to be reserved about what to purchase, but we both managed to get something to remember our visit there and Robbie eventually dragged me out.

We took so many photos and videos that Robbie has put them all together on our youtube chanel. Click here to view it.

We would like to introduce you to “Breezy” who is set to become our mascot as we breeze around on our adventures.

It was then time to head back to the van. We caught a glimpse of lots of sheep

of some lambs

and wooly cows on the road.

The cows could not care if cars had to wait for them to decide if they would move off the road or not.

We again saw snow on the hills on the drive home.

This afternoon was supposed to be a fishing afternoon, but the wind is not longer gusty, but flat out gales. So it was reading and resting.

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 eventua...

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 ...
