Friday 30th August, (Rollingstone).
The rain eased today, forecast for showers for the area but we moved on before we had any. We have now returned to familiar stomping ground, Rollingstone. The local council are getting serious with this camp ground with all the upgrades they are making: they have provided a lot more water taps, […]
Thursday 29th August, (Murray Falls National Park).
Typical that when we decide to move on and plan to stay at National parks and freebies that it starts to rain. We are now camped at Murray Falls National Park, just south of Tully, and although we are fairly well set up and can cater for rainy weather […]
Tuesday 27th August.
Went to Kuranda today to visit Hoss and Val and we had a good chat that was long overdue as we had not seen each other for quite a long time. From what they were saying, if it were not for their elderly parents they would like to travel by the same mode […]
Monday 26th August.
Narrelle rang the other day telling us that she has cancelled her trip, her passport then turned up the following day, but they consider it was for the best to cancel because they could do with the money right now and she was being pressured with the new job she has gotten. Would […]
Thursday 22nd August.
I finalised the repairs to the gas system on the car yesterday and am now more determined to contact that garage in Townsville, as the repairs totalled approximately $470.00 and it would be nice to think that they may be kind enough to reimburse some for their error. But I also think pigs […]
Tuesday 20th August.
We haven’t been able to do any sightseeing yet, not that we had any plans anyway, due to mechanical problems, so here is the story:
I had a small job done on the car at Townsville; replace the fan belt tensioner, as it was suspect noisy, by a mechanic by the name of Kenny’s. […]
Saturday 17th August.
I seem to have done it again: several days between putting words down. I think the problem is that when one is just relaxing and enjoying the surrounds the thought of writing doesn’t enter ones mind. Its not that I have been too busy, or even doing nothing for that matter, we have […]
Tuesday 13th August, (Cairns).
We are finally at Cairns, arrived yesterday, and we are both surprised that we have the feeling that we are home. I’m not sure whether this is due to the fact that this is a magnificent place to be at this time of year or if it is just that we have […]
Sunday 11th August, (Mission Beach).
We have somewhat changed our ideas of Mission Beach, due to the realisation of several reasons. The weather has been a bit of a setback, the area didn’t live up to expectations of other traveller’s comments and we are at present only wanting to be in Cairns.
We went for a walk […]
Friday 9th August, (Mission Beach).
Mission Beach, as we have found out, is close to a town called Tully and this town has the reputation of being the wettest town in Queensland. At the moment the area is living up to it’s reputation as it has poured all day. We had a drive around the area […]
