Rob & Liz's Blessed Adventures

 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 ...

Hi lovelies, It seems like we have been planning our current adventure for such a long time, and yesterday we began. We left Toowoomba at  8.30am with the lovely Andrew taking us to the airport, and this commenced our looonnng flights. At Brisbane I followed the family tradition of trying to get through customs with some sort of weapon.  I had forgotten that I had a small ladies Leatherman type tool in the bottom of my bag.  It was enclosed in a lovely pink pocket, but the security officer decided it was to go into the "never to be seen again bin".  Oops. Our first flight was to Singapore.  I had visited there before when Phillip and went to UK a couple of years ago to visit Andrew, but it was Robbies first trip. Two things he noticed was that there are no speaker announcements, so it is very quiet, and that there are guards in the bathrooms.  This was the shortest of our two flights.  Our viewing choices were John Wick 3 and 5 new ...

Hi lovelies, Today was our first “let’s go for a walk” day for a while.   😊 . We headed off for Abercrombie Caves, which are about 60km south-eastish of Bathurst.   Now the good news is – before we went I checked on the days they are open, and we actually found the caves without getting lost. The bad news – well none really.    The road to the caves off the highway is very narrow and very windy and with very steep drop-offs.   We actually followed the ranger car in, so if there was someone coming the other way he was going to meet them first.    We got our pass tokens to enter the caves and headed off.   The walk is only about 1 ½ km round trip, so not a big walk, and only one up-hill part and a long set of stairs down to the entrance of the caves. The area is very dry.   Grove creek runs through area and it was flowing. One of the first stop is where you cross a bridge and see where the creek has...
