After our cup of tea, we packed up and were on the road by 8 am. We drove the 100 kms to Armidale to have breakfast at the Goldfish Bowl. As it is still school holidays we were able to park outside St Mary’s Primary, just up the road. We bought two loaves of sourdoughContinue reading “Glen Innes to Tamworth”

There has been intermittent light rain and drizzle today, with an overnight minimum temperature of 16° and a pleasant high of 24°. We had coffee in town, then found a replacement bath mat and foot stool for me in the cheap shops. Yesterday, our car received two dents from a trolley in the Woolworths carpark.Continue reading “Caravan Jobs”

On our walk this morning, we had to avoid barking dogs rushing at fences. We bought coffees on our way home to enjoy with our sourdough toast. With my extra walking this afternoon, I have done 8 kms today. Bluey only did the first 2 kms. At the Visitor Information, we got some maps andContinue reading “Around Glen Innes”

Our early morning walk was shorter today as it was moving day. After breakfast we hooked up and were on the road just after 8 am. If we had still been at the caravan park, we may have seen or heard the plane that crashed at Dugandan, about 1.5 kms from our site as theContinue reading “Boonah to Glen Innes”

We were awake very early so walked all around Boonah. Bluey came with us willingly. Back at the caravan, I climbed up the ladder and tackled the job of swapping this damaged fan cover with one from the rear of the van. The plastic has disintegrated due to sun damage. I unscrewed the two coversContinue reading “Caravan Job”

When I took Bluey walking this morning, the drizzly rain caused us to head home early. After breakfast we picked up the Bushtracker and towed it home to pack the rest of our gear. Bluey and Tilly loitered near the front door, so they wouldn’t be left behind! We were all set by 10 am,Continue reading “Travel from Home to Boonah”

Our focus has shifted to our trip to Tamworth – getting the van ready and packing our food and other essentials. We have made two trips to the storage depot and will go again tomorrow morning to load the fridge. I cleaned and refitted the hitch today. We take it off when not towing theContinue reading “Caravan Preparations”

We feel sorry for the tourists who paid for a holiday at the Gold Coast this year. There have been very few days when there wasn’t rain or a storm. Yesterday we tried to see the floor under the bath as that is likely to be the same as the subfloor under the tiles. ThereContinue reading “More Rain”

Bluey has been eating but is obviously not 100%. He took himself downstairs to the front door where he vomited part of his breakfast. We didn’t notice him go down. It’s a shame he didn’t use the doggy-door to take himself outside! He will go out the pet door, but he still hasn’t taken himselfContinue reading “Bluey Not 100%”

By the time we were awake, it was too warm to go walking. I took Bluey for a quick trip to the beach. After doing his business he just sat down and watched me walk to the bin. We fed the critters then took ourselves to the Australia Fair shopping centre for a walk inContinue reading “Screens and Blinds”
