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.

Final wrap up of our NZ visit

We have had an amazing time visiting the South Island, and also a few days in the North at Wellington to mainly visit the WETA workshop. On Saturday the 29th Nov we flew up to Wellington for a few days to have a look about and visit the WETA workshop. Wellington did live up to its reputation of being windy. Its a nice city built around a harbor. Most things are easy walking distance from the city centre. We took a few walks along the harbor. Elizabeth wanted to try what they call white bait. It looks like worms with eyes. It was cooked with egg. Neither of us were a great fan of this. We took the cable car up the mountain to see the sights and buy more souvenirs :). Our main objective was to visit the WETA workshop who have lots of special effects and prosthetics used in films such as LOTR. The shop was amazing with lots of expensive models but also prints and other items at reasonable rates. We had orders from family for few things and we also purchased a couple...

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...
