Shepparton

Wednesday 19th November, (Shepparton).
Yeah, I have gotten myself into an attitude of not touring now and just cruising the area, as we are to be in Victoria for a while, hence I am not writing as much as usual. Being on my own and just filling in time, basically, means not much is actually happening […]

Albury

Sunday 16th November, (Albury).
Day one at Goulburn was a wet one at the end of the day so my idea of leaving a day early is now not on. Day two, or the evening, was so cold. The heater came out of the car again and was so welcome. This made me really wonder why […]

Goulburn

Wednesday 12th November, (Sydney- Goulburn).
So much for my plans of creating an easy drive through Sydney by staying at north Sydney and then an easy drive through. I picked a big4 park on the very northern suburbs, right next to the highway, so I would be able to leave there and just drive straight through. […]

I have now moved another 100k south to Emerald Beach about 20k north of Coff’s Harbour. This is another small place close to a […]

Yamba

Sunday 2nd November, (Yamba).
A nice relaxing time was had at Ballina.
Before I left there this morning, or at least when I went for some bread from the freezer, I noticed the freezer was turned off. So much for how the battery was so fully charged yesterday from so little driving around. It had obviously been […]

Ballina

Saturday 1st November, (Ballina).
I am now at Ballina, about 200k south of Brisbane, and have been here for three days.
I thought for a while that I may have to stay here for a while as on the day of travel I contracted a bit of a wog. I got headachy and the sinuses were painful […]
