Thursday 28th December.
The move yesterday went smoothly with most everything being packed ready before we arrived. Two loads with the panel-van and one with a small truck Matt rented and it was all done. It is a pity, though, that we didn’t have a couple of more male helpers as I am a little stiff […]
Tuesday 26th December.
An enjoyable Xmas day was had at Matt and Louisa’s, and we did the usual thing of stuffing ourselves with all the food and niceties that one would not indulge in.
We also visited Ida Markby on Sunday, wife of late Barry, and she was extremely welcome of our visit. She had a few […]
Saturday 23rd December.
Melbourne weather never fails to amaze me, as one day it is stinking hot and the next day one is wearing long trousers and a jacket.
Another drama today with a continuation of blocked drains. The sewage backed up at our site again today and fortunately this time I think they have fixed it: […]
Wednesday 20th December 2006.
We checked out the other caravan parks and decided that we would be just as well off here. The others didn’t have the conveniences as here, such as en-suite and public transport. It may cost a little more here but we are now happy again to call this our local when in […]
Chapter 39.
In Melbourne.
Sunday 17th December 2006, (Melbourne).
Here we are in Melbourne again and will be here for a couple of months.
We have moved into Apollo Gardens at Craigieburn again and are on a long term site once more. We are thinking already that there may be a more suitable park for us to stay at […]
Wednesday 13th December 2006, (Melbourne).
We are now in Melbourne and will be here until the end of February or so. We are still up in the air about where we will go next year, but we have been throwing a couple of ideas around so we will see when we leave here.
Monday 11th December 2006, (Bairnsdale).
Our second last leg before reaching Melbourne today sees us at Bairnsdale, Victoria, about 270km from Melbourne. It was an eventful leg as well, with the bushfires rife in Victoria and some of them in the Bairnsdale area. See pics in Recent Photos page, (will only be there for a few […]
Saturday 9th December 2006, (Eden).
We are now at Eden, the southern most town of size on the coast of NSW, having arrived here yesterday. We had only intended being here for two days, but, 1/ Linda has decided that we would be breaking a new tradition by moving on Sunday, now to be a rest […]
Thursday 7th December 2006, (Ulladulla).
We had a walk around the headland yesterday, and quite a worthwhile walk it was. The distance was 4 or 5 kilometres, so not only was it worth the scenery, but exercise as well. We didn’t get to do as much walking as we wanted as the lookouts we visited were […]
Tuesday 5th December 2006, (Ulladulla).
Another trip today to the northern area from here, and it was a more enlightening trip than yesterday as it included a couple of lookouts and a waterfall. The waterfall had no water flowing over it to speak of, but it was worth the visit. The lookouts also gave us some […]
