Monday 27th April 2009, Sunshine Coast.
After being here for three days we are almost settled in. Now we are in an area that doesn’t have water restrictions we have taken the opportunity to do a bit of washing, and the annexe walls badly needed a good wash and they have been done, but that was […]
Saturday 25th April 2009, Anzac Day, Sunshine Coast.
We are finally here. We are going to take a fair bit of time to settle in this time as we have to spring clean the van and annexe. It has been something like 18 months since we have been in an area where we could use water […]
Monday 20th April 2009, Ipswich.
We caught up with Kay and Adrian yesterday for a short visit and they are planning on coming here for a longer visit tomorrow. Today we had a trip back up the road to Cunningham’s Gap, the pass over the range on the road we took to get here. We stopped […]
Saturday 18th April 2009, Willowbank.
We have now made our second last move before moving to the Sunshine Coast next week to settle in for winter. We are now at Willowbank (See map) which is just south of Ipswich. It is also right next to Amberley Air Force Base, so if one knows where that is […]
Thursday 16th April 2009, Goondiwindi.
We have finally reached Queensland, being at Goondiwindi (See map). We have decided that we must return one day and revisit the area we have just travelled, between here and Tamworth, and have a fair bit of time so we can stop at all, if not most, of the small towns. […]
Tuesday 14th April 2009, Bingara.
As nice a place as Gunnedah is we found we were a little lost for things to do, especially seeing we were rained in for the past couple of days, so we have now moved on to Bingara (see Map) about 170K north of Tamworth on a road known as the […]
Sunday 12th April 2009, Gunnedah.
We look like being in Gunnedah for a couple of extra days as we are rained in, and we don’t move in the rain unless essential. It has been forecast for showers for the past few days but we got basically nothing at all, and it is forecast for rain tomorrow […]
Thursday 9th April 2009, Gunnedah.
Went to another town lookout called Pensioners Hill today and this is one of the better town lookouts I have seen so far, being close to town and at a reasonable hight giving some quite good views of the town. Unfortunately though this is about all we intend doing while here […]
Wednesday 8th April 2009, Gunnedah.
Gunnedah is a very nice place, and a good caravan park, but there doesn’t seem to be much to do in the area for sightseeing apart from the few things around town, so it is a good place for a few days of not much to do. There is Lake Keepit […]
Monday 6th April 2009, Gunnedah.
Gunnedah is about 200K NE of Gilgandra (see map) and about 75K west of Tamworth, and we intend being here for a week. After stopping at Gilgandra we realised that we didn’t enjoy our last visit there because of the ants and thorns in the grass, so we have again said […]
