Liverpool explorers

Hi lovelies,

We had such fun today.

Up early and we got a taxi into West Kirby to catch a train into Liverpool.


It was a chilly morning, but with the promise of a fine day we were excited to head into town.

When we arrived we were a little early for our first planned trip, so we had a quick wander around. The buildings in Liverpool are amazing, and huge.



Took the obligatory snap with the Fab 4.

We had tickets to catch the “ferry across the Mersey”. They actually play the song on the trip. 😊. Made us both smile.



We got off at one of the stops and went to see the U-Boat display. This was really interesting. The sub has been cut into segments so you can see inside and get a sense of the size.




We then returned to the ferry and returned to the city side of the river. We hopped on the On/Off bus and headed towards the museum district.

The Library was amazing. I loved the spiral staircase that was in the centre of the building, and I could happily move into the Picton Reading Room.

Lots of floors

From there we headed to the World History Museum to see the Egyptian display. Another amazing exhibit to see.
We were both treated to sights we had not seen before, and it was really cool.



It was then back on the bus and we were chauffeured back to the ferry terminal. It is the first time either of us have done an On/Off bus tour and it was great. You get lots of history and interesting facts.

It was a wonderful day, and it did stay fine, right up until we got off the train.

All for tonight.

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

It's all about the birds.

Hi lovelies, Did you all manage to keep warm last night.  It was a little chilly here, which was not helped by the fact that we left the outer door to the van open.  What silly people we are. Today was such a beautiful day. We went for a short drive to the dam on the property. It is obvious that the dam is suffering from the lack of water, but we were blessed to see some gorgeous birds. On returning to the van we were met by a number of birds that decided it was time for their lunch. We are so blessed to have such a variety of birdlife around the van. Remember to sing the song - "There was one in the bed..... "   They are quite inquisitive,  but keep an eye on the humans just to make sure we are not going to do anything untoward. This gorgeous butcher bird decided that as I had vacated my chair it was all for him.  He entertained Rob with a concert.  He did not even seem to concerned when I returned. We were also
