Dalby, and another dust storm.

Saturday, September 26th, 2009

Saturday 26th September 2009 Dalby.
Another move sees us now at Dalby (see map) inland from Toowoomba. Again we have been here before, but we have enjoyed our couple of previous visits, and there are some good walks in the Bunya Mountains Nation Park we would like to do or do again. We are at present […]

Esk After the dust storm.

Thursday 24th September 2009, Esk.
As most would know from news reports we experienced a very bad dust storm here yesterday, well it wasn’t just here it was all up the east coast from Sydney area to most of the Queensland coast. Supposed to be the worst since 1970 or so it didn’t seem to be […]

Esk, with fridge problems.

Monday 21st September 2009, Esk.
We are now settled in at Esk, as much as we want to be anyway, meaning we haven’t bothered putting up the full annexe, only the roof to just enjoy the openness for a change. We wonder when the spending money bit may ease up, as the second fridge, the Waeco, […]

I am happy with the job done on ‘Tilly’, even though it wasn’t completed until Friday. They obviously sand blasted the effected area, treated and repainted it, and it now looks as though there was never a problem. It will be interesting to see whether the problems return in coming years, and […]

Sunshine Coast and vehicle repairs.

Wednesday 9th September 2009.
A story on repairs to ‘Tilly the Truck’. Earlier this year while in Kilmore Vic. I had noticed some rust on a couple of panels under the bonnet and while at the Ford dealers I enquired about getting repairs under warranty only to get the response, “It is only surface rust, and […]

Sunshine Coast, planning our departure.

Thursday 3rd September 2009.
Still enjoying the warmth, well at least I am at the moment because Linda has decided to go back to Melbourne for a few days for one of the grandkids school play. We have made tentative plans on where to go when we leave here on our journey back to Melbourne for […]
