Monday 30th September, (Brisbane).
Linda, Mat, Lou and family went into the city for a look today, I believe they drove a short way and then caught a train, then returned the same way.
In their absence I took the opportunity to do some maintenance. The water pump for tank water has been failing, with the switch […]
Sunday 29th September, (Brisbane).
The past couple of days have been a little of a worry to Linda as Matthew and family have been travelling up from Melbourne by car. She tends to worry about anybody travelling on anything other than a short trip, so a trip from Melbourne to Brisbane in two days is a […]

Brisbane family visit, to home for Christmas.
Wednesday 25th September 2002, (Brisbane).
We have arrived at Brisbane, and just as well we left early this morning. With all the kids running around and the crows with their early morning calls one did not get much of a chance to sleep past 5:30 to 6:00. Anyway arriving […]
Monday 23rd September, (Sunshine Coast/Coolum Beach).
A very relaxing day was spent yesterday doing absolutely nothing, and it was enjoyed very much.
Today we ventured back up to Noosa Heads and walked about 10k around the National Park. Some of the scenery was quite spectacular, especially the rugged coastline. Linda made a comment on how blue the […]
Saturday 21st September, (Sunshine Coast/Coolum Beach).
The Hinterlands is an area to the west of the coast and along the Blackall mountain range and is an area that offers great views of the coastline. Unfortunately I am not showing any photos as the total coastline was very misty and they were not 100% clear. The area […]
Friday 20th September, (Sunshine Coast/Coolum Beach).
A leisurely drive down the coast was the order of the day, but it turned out too leisurely and we did not get to the southern end. We will no doubt be back here some day so I guess something will be left for next time.
The Sunshine Coast is not […]
Thursday 19th September, (Sunshine Coast/Coolum Beach).
We had a trip to Noosa Heads for a look around today, and boy is that a big money area. It is an area that one could easily find things to do no matter what ones preferences would be; activities are very diverse, especially in the boating field. We intend […]
Wednesday 18th September, (Sunshine Coast/Coolum Beach).
We made an early start this morning and what a difference it made, we had left by 8:30 instead of 10:00. Firstly the thing we noticed was all the caravans on the road, most must travel before the hour of 11AM. The cooler morning air makes a difference to the […]
Tuesday 17th September, (Hervey Bay).
The Sunshine Coast tomorrow, and an old problem has once again cropped up; School holidays start on Friday and we will be in an area that will be inundated with holidaymakers from Brisbane. The other ill side effect of these holidays is the increase in costs of caravan parks. It’s a […]
Sunday 15th September, (Hervey Bay).
After yesterday deciding to move on to Hervey Bay today I realised that the Queensland 500 car race was on today and I would normally sit and watch it. The solution was to get an early start so we could part set up so I could sit and watch it. We […]
