Sunday 31st March, (Toowoomba).
Easter Sunday, and Linda has, or we at least, have just had a phone call to Narrelle in England. We decided that all Linda’s phone calls are to numbers she can call for free, so we have her monthly call allowance to utilise on calls to England. One call she already made […]
Wednesday 27th March, (Toowoomba).
I must mention a comment Linda has been making over the last couple of days, “I’m glad you have your new mobile back”. I guess she means that my temper has settled somewhat since I have had it, what a saga.
The rain is upon us once again so today was a day […]
Monday 25th March, (Toowoomba).
A little fiddling with the aerial and adjusting the power on the booster power has improved the TV reception a little and it is now a little more watchable.
I made arrangements for a vehicle service today, and fixing a few things on the laptops filled in the day, so tomorrow will see […]
Sunday 24th March, (Toowoomba).
A move today to Toowoomba, which is now the start of what should be our expected anything goes touring. Anything goes was the order of the day, as we experienced a situation that I hope does not occur again: a very large hill on the last stage of the trip to Toowoomba. […]
Friday 22nd March, (Gold Coast).
Still on the Gold Coast and have now decided to stick with our original decision to travel inland toward Mt. Isa. Our first stop will be Toowoomba, about 120K west of Brisbane, and will stay there until after Easter, unless we change our mind. We have heard a few reports about […]
Sunday 17th March, (Brisbane/ Gold Coast).
I picked up my new laptop on Thursday, which is the reason for nothing until now. These are my first words with it.
We have now moved back to the Gold Coast for a few days to catch up with Tony before he goes to Moscow, and are undecided where to […]
Tuesday 12th March, (Brisbane).
The caravan wheel I removed for inspection yesterday was immediately replaced because there is no need for maintenance at this time. The brakes were good and the bearings even had good, and plenty of, grease so I will leave maintenance on them until later when I purchase some grease.
We have spent every […]
Chapter 12
Brisbane on, at a steady pace.
Friday 8th March 2002, (Brisbane).
We have been in Brisbane now for two days, the wedding is tomorrow and I have found out, thankfully, that Queensland’s idea of semi-formal, requirements of the reception, are reasonably relaxed. Due to the heat all I am prepared to wear is a coloured silk […]
Wednesday 6th March, (Gold Coast/ Brisbane).
Good race that one, a pity though that so many cars were wiped out on the first corner. This at least gave our ‘Ausie’ Webber a better chance to place 5th where he did though.
Monday was a rest day, doing a little shopping and sight seeing and yesterday we went […]
Friday 1st March, (Gold Coast).
While Linda was having a look around at the local shopping centres I went for a drive around the city of Surfers Paradise and was again awe struck by the building, motels and such, being so high and so close to sand. It really makes one wonder what type of foundation […]
