Wellington

Thursday, October 27th, 2005

Thursday 27th October, (Wellington).
We have now moved on to Wellington, between Dubbo and Orange, and will be here for a week or so. We have some friends, Kay and Adrian Boyer, that are here, hence the reason for coming this way. We met Kay and Adrian earlier this year at Roma and several stays after […]

Singleton

Tuesday 25th October, (Singleton).
With a fine looking day, weather wise, saw us make a move today to Singleton. This trip was not without its little happenings though. We have had an overheating problem for the past few weeks and it came to a head today with severe overheating. In the five years of travelling it […]

Sunday 23rd October, (Old Bar).
The weather did clear on Friday afternoon and the awning was dry, so here we are at the moment at Old Bar, on the coast just east of Taree. We moved yesterday and the trip was about 250Km. I am still a little concerned about the car and the oil pressure. […]

Wednesday 19th October, (Sawtell).
We are still rained in so we decided today would be a better shopping day than tomorrow, and we may get a little look around tomorrow if it is a bit finer.
We had a discussion with some fellow campers yesterday as to where we intend going when we leave here, Bulahdelah, and […]

So much for all the things we were going to see while here: It has rained since being here and is forecast for more until we are due to leave. We will see what happens on Thursday, rain wise to see whether we pack up or not, and then decide if we […]

Tuesday 11th October, (Sawtell).
We have now moved about 200Km south to Sawtell, just south of Coffs Harbour, and not without incident. Yet another tyre destroyed itself today, or at least we detected it before it totally destroyed itself. We are now wondering what the problem is, I will have another talk to the so-called experts […]

Sunday 9th October, (Ballina).
I haven’t written anything over the last couple of days because I have bought a new laptop and I have been busy getting it up and running, these are the first new words on the new machine.
We had a trip to Lismore on Friday, where I bought the new laptop, and were […]

Brisbane

Sunday 2nd October, (Brisbane).
We filled in most of the day yesterday with a ferry ride up the river through the Brisbane city area. The City Cat is the local ferry service that does the job, although there are several other services that do similar cruises, but this one is included in all public transport services. […]
