Junee

Saturday, September 29th, 2007

Saturday 29th September 2007, Junee.
We are getting closer. We moved another 330K’s today south to Junee, Map. The trip today seemed to be a longer one that our usual 300k trip, but we weren’t travelling highways for the total trip. Most of the trip was hilly and our speed was greatly reduced as a result. […]

Wellington

Friday 28th September 2007, Wellington.
Change of plans again: I really don’t like consecutive travel days, so we will be staying two days at each of our stops from here on, so this means we won’t be in Melbourne until Wednesday 3rd October. This will give us 4 days there before we go to Tassie, I […]

Gunnedah

Tuesday 26th September 2007, Gunnedah.
After being here for a day we like the place and will have to come and tour this area in depth one day. Since being here we have heard little things about other towns in the district and have decided that they could all be worth a visit one day.
I have […]

Gunnedah

Tuesday 25th September 2007, Gunnedah.
Another 300 plus Kilometres sees us at Gunnedah, Map, and I have now once again convinced myself that I really do not like travelling two days consecutively. We figure that we can stay for two days at each stop and be in Melbourne on the 3rd October, this will then give […]

Goondiwindi

Monday 24th September 2007, Goondiwindi.
We have now moved on about 320K west to Goondiwindi, Map. We travelled via Warwick instead of Toowoomba as the climb into Toowoomba is too steep. We went up it a few years ago and swore never to do it again. The Cunningham’s gap on the way to Warwick is also […]

Ipswich

Saturday 22nd September 2007, Ipswich.
We are on the road again. We have two weeks to get to Melbourne and not really looking forward to it being so quick, we have never travelled so far in less than a couple of months or so. We have to travel this quickly so we can get back to […]

Sunshine Coast

Friday 14th September 2007, Sunshine Coast.
So much for the friendly nature of the panel-beaters: They are a company I would never recommend to anybody. Even though I mentioned earlier they were friendly, I now have the impression that was only because they wanted my business. After their assurance that the work would be done in […]

Sunshine Coast

Monday 10th September 2007, Sunshine Coast.
Things are now starting to come together and we are in a position to make a decision when to leave and start heading south. At this stage it is very much looking like Friday next week, the 21st. One thing that helped in making the decision was a visit to […]

Linda is back

Tuesday, September 4th, 2007

Tuesday 4th September 2007, Sunshine Coast still.
Linda has now returned from Melbourne and enjoyed her visit with the grandkids tremendously, especially being able to have some prime time with Narrelle and Matt and their kids as they have spent the last eighteen months in England. She has been back for a few sunny days, but […]
