A large cloud hovered over Yamba so we decided to hitch up before going to breakfast. Reversing the car onto the van was complicated by the bloke nextdoor having parked his car hanging over the site boundary. We parked near a playground as that was the closest parallel parking area. The rain passed over soContinue reading “Yamba to Home”

We had planned to do the washing before going out for breakfast, but we hadn’t planned on the laundry being locked until 8am! By the time the washing cycle finished and I had hung up our clothes, it was after 9am when we walked to the Beechwood Cafe. This cafe has been a favourite forContinue reading “Around Yamba”

We made a bad choice when we decided to have breakfast at Robyn’s Cafe in Bulahdelah. Anita described her scrambled eggs on white toast as pedestrian. My raisin toast was served with a butter substitute. The cafe gets a 4.7 google rating but that could just be from locals. On the highway strong winds causedContinue reading “Bulahdelah to Yamba”

Overnight rain came in waves, sometimes loud enough to wake me with the noise on the plastic window protector. Gusts of wind were strong enough to rock the Bushtracker. The maximum gust at Goulburn Airport was 87kph at 3.15am. The rain had stopped by the time we were up and about. Hooking up was simpleContinue reading “Goulburn to Bulahdelah”

We had a peaceful night and a slow start to our morning. A little rain fell overnight but it was dry when we walked across to the Long Track Pantry for coffee and breakfast. The shop also sells food and wine, clothing and quirky gifts. I gave Blue and Tilly a quick run before drivingContinue reading “Jugiong to Goulburn”

It was quiet all night at our $10 powered site in Underbool. There was hardly any traffic along the Mallee Hwy. I played with Tilly and Bluey in the park before their long day on the road. The roads were open through to Wagga Wagga, but the Murrumbidgee River is very high. Roads could beContinue reading “Underbool to Jugiong”

After our final Beccy Breakfast, we farewelled our friends and started our trip home. We had decided to go via Sydney instead of the Broken Hill route. There is flooding along the way so we will have to keep an eye on the weather and river levels. On the road towards Victor Harbour we hadContinue reading “Cape Jervis to Underbool”

After several days and nights of anticipation, today was Beccy’s 50th birthday! It was also Amber Joy Poulton’s birthday, but not her 50th. We drove to the nearby village of Normanville for lunch. It was warm and sunny away from Cape Jervis. Bluey had a sore paw so we tried to find a beach whereContinue reading “50th Birthday Party”

The weather at Cape Jervis has been drizzly and misty. So far we have not seen Kangaroo Island because of poor visibility. While the weather is often wet in this area, the benefit of this venue is the large barn with its attached kitchen, which provides a dry warm place for meals and concerts. ThereContinue reading “Beccy Cole Concert”

Anita walked to the market at the Showground for coffees and croissants. We did not leave until the check out time of 11am. Our drive from Adelaide to Cape Jervis was in the rain on several rough potholed roads. We stopped at Myponga to make cups of tea, and to ensure we did not arriveContinue reading “Adelaide to Cape Jervis”
