Wednesday 29th September, (South West Rocks).
Quite a nice looking area around here, at the moment though it is school holidays and the place is overrun with families and their kids. There are several caravan parks in the area but there is no chance in getting into any of the ones close to the beaches, if […]
Tuesday 28th September, (South West Rocks).
We have now moved to South West rocks, east of Kempsey about 100k south of Coffs Harbour. It was a rather big moving day today as we travelled further than we have lately, almost 300k, and we had things to do on the way. With the elections coming up we […]
Tuesday 21st September, (Brooms Head).
Another short run today of about 70k took us to Brooms Head, another small (very small) town on the coast, turning off at MacLean. This is another small place to relax, and we are getting quite used to it. Things should be a little more friendly here as we are parked […]
Saturday 18th September, (Evans Head).
Matthew and Royce are coming up to Brisbane next Sunday and Matt rang this morning to find out where we were going to be so they could visit on their way. They timed it very nicely as we had just been thinking of our travel plans for the next couple of […]
Friday 17th September, (Evans Head).
I keep telling myself that I must write down words every day while the memory is still sharp, but for some reason I keep forgetting: Just enjoying the experiences too much to think about it I suppose.
We went for a walk around the walking track yesterday, across the river and up […]
Tuesday 14th September, (Evans Head).
So we headed off this morning without the mail, it is to be returned when it does arrive and we might get to see it some time.
We are now at Evans Heads, about 100k south of Brunswick Heads, and right on the coast. We have heard a few people make comments […]
Monday 13th September, (Brunswick Heads).
The mail didn’t turn up today, so on our way out tomorrow we will check if it has arrived, and if not, instructions given to the PO are to return it to sender when it does arrive. When they get it back home they can then resend it to somewhere else. […]
Wednesday 8th September, (Brunswick Heads).
We have finally seen some rain, which has been rather scarce on our travels so far this year, and it is needed very badly. A relaxing day was had today as a result as it rained all day, and is expected again tomorrow.
We took the chance to have a look around […]
Monday 6th September, (Brunswick Heads).
We only spent the 3 days on the Gold Coast as we only went there to visit Tony and Brenda, as we usually do on our way through.
We left the Gold Coast this morning with the intention of only going about 50k to a small town called Pottsville, on the coast […]

Back south again.
Friday 3rd September 2004, (Gold Coast).
We are now on the move again, giving us a little more than two months to get to Melbourne. We intend just cruising down the east coast and stay at some small coastal towns that we missed on our trip up the coast when we started our […]
