Adelong Gold Fields and the return of the Dog on the Tucker Box.

Hi lovelies,

It is a few days since we went paid a visit to the Adelong Falls Gold Mine outside Tumut, but I have been a bit under the weather so only sharing now.

The town of Adelong is just west of Tumut and is a lovely little town. We visited the Gold Mine ruins and had a wander around and check out the creek and the ruins.

A lot of work has been done to make the ruins safely accessible for visitors. Walking tracks and signed areas make it easy to find things.

It was great to walk around and check out some of the working of the days when the gold mine was a working operation. The site office.

One of the water wheels.

The Managers house and garden.

The furnace and the chimney in the background. They are a long way from each other.

The river was really pretty and a little chilly.

We had a great time and I would recommend it as a place to visit.

We left Tumut on Saturday and traveled through Gundagai. There were areas on the road where the fog was really thick.

We were fortunate that this was the day that the Dog was being returned to his resting place on the tuckerbox. There were lots of people around to see him back where he belonged.

All for now lovelies.

Stay safe and keep enjoying life.

Love us.

Forster-Tuncurry

Hi lovelies, Yesterday we packed up at Harrington and moved a whole 50km south to Darawank, just north of Forster-Tuncurry. It took us 5 hours to get here 😊 . We went via Black Head where they were holding the monthly markets. They were huge and had lots of goodies to offer. I think Robbie was thankful that I had no cash on me. From there we took a drive to Diamond Head, a pretty beach area. We stopped there, and shared some morning tea with a very cheeky local. Our next stop was Red Head, but we did not venture to the beach. There were some spectacular views of the coastline. It was then back into the car and we headed along the Pacific Highway to past Nabaic and down to Wootton where we turned off to follow the Lakes Way past lots of lovely little bays and finally through Forster and Tuncurry to our park. Our van site is on the banks of the Wallamba River. It has a...

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...
