Heading east we stopped over at the great free camp at Bollon, parked away from the rest with only the chooks and ducks for company – that is until, and despite the acres of room somebody decided we needed company! Coffee in the morning from the only café in town – no pics of this,…
The rain stopped and it looked like it would be a while before the next round so we thought that we would head to Yowah (opal territory….again) via Quilpie. It takes a little over 2 hours to complete the 210k’s to Quilpie, we didn’t need to hurry – every road to the south of Quilpie…
With the rain making the camp at Augathella muddy we moved down to Charleville. Having stayed in both of the caravan parks there we thought we would give one of the outer bush caravan parks a go, and the one we picked out was 2k’s out town, describes itself as quiet, large sites, no smoking,…
Warning – again lots of photos…. We filled up at Rubyvale at 200cpl and continued on. We headed out to the main highway and up 40k’s to turn off to head south through the Willows Gemfields. We were tempted to stay there for a night and do some more fossicking but instead continued through the…
Warning – lots of pictures this time Leaving Muttaburra we headed to Lake Dunn for the night. To get there we drove through Aramac (nice town, no photos, didn’t stay) and headed to Lake Dunn. On the way there is choice of roads with either of them forming part of the Lake Dunn Sculptures Trail.…
We were in Longreach only for the night to resupply and then move on, fuel was 235.5cpl and we stayed at the brand new caravan park outside of town on the northside. Only opened 3 days earlier the owners have thought about how the park should be setup including sites that are all drive through.…
After Quilpie we headed for the off the beaten track little town of Adavale. With less than 100ks to the town we stopped a couple of time – firstly at the new Quilpie star gazing platform in the middle of now where, and at the memorial just out of Adavale to 12 people who lost…
So its been a few weeks since the last update! Off the train, into the Blue Mountains and then back to Penrith for the night, get the van serviced, tyres for the car and then out of Sydney for a quick (and cold) overnight stop at Lithgow before heading back to Menindee where we did…
Jo got the phone message to ring the limo company about the car that was to take us to the train station, so she gave them a call and it was to let us know that the driver would pick us 15 minutes later than we were previously advised. We were the last to the…
Leaving Canberra after a few days we headed to Trundle about an hour west of Parkes and stayed in the showground along with a couple of travellers – the place is so big we were probably 100 metres apart! Every town has a story! Trundle has quite a few starting with the very wide main…
As the title says, our week at Menindee doing SES work.
The Menindee week As you know we rolled into Menindee on the Monday morning and straight into work. The handover from Michael, met Ted and Karl and then toured the spots we had to go and check on. Michael also provided a good update on the facilities around, and even included in the notes advice…
Part 1 Starting our 2022 holidays at last – Canberra, Menindee, Canberra, Somewhere, Sydney, Perth, Train to Sydney and then north to Somewhere! We left the coast late June to see the kids in Canberra, and importantly, so that Jo, her Dad (Les) and Rebecca could go to the 80th anniversary ceremony of the sinking…
