Before we left home I replaced the external shower on the outside of the Bushtracker. It had been leaking for a while leaving a stain on the aluminium checkerplate. It was a horrid job because it was very hard to reach the fittings that had to be disconnected. When connected to a town water supplyContinue reading “Water Leak”

Our rest day started with a sleep-in. It was a lovely sunny day with no wind. I bought an ordinary coffee from the BP nextdoor while Anita made banana pancakes for our brunch. There is a lot of lush grass causing allergic reactions. I have had itchy eyes for a few days so took anContinue reading “Rest Day in Tamworth”

After a cold start it turned out to be a good day for travelling, apart from a couple of idiot drivers. Sections of roadway have been damaged due to the combination of much rain and heavy trucks. We need to watch the road surface to avoid hitting potholes or rough bumps in the road. WeContinue reading “Glen Innes to Tamworth”

Blue was happy sleeping in his crate wearing a coat, but still woke me at 4.30am. At least he goes straight back to sleep when I snuggle him. We had breakfast at The Local on Grey St. The proprietors pride themselves on using local produce. My sourdough fruit and nut toast was excellent, but IContinue reading “Glen Innes”

We had a slow start this morning, not leaving the caravan park until after 10am. There is nowhere to get coffee on the road south of Warwick until Stanthorpe, but the main entrance to the town was closed due to roadworks. We held out for our caffeine fix until Wallangarra, where we enjoyed a breakContinue reading “Warwick to Glen Innes”

This flag is hanging from the Council Chambers in Warwick. Support for Ukraine takes many forms.

Mr Bluey woke at 3am leaving me sleep deprived. We think he might be feeling the cold so will cover his crate with the blanket to keep him warmer. It hasn’t been so cold that he needs a coat on yet. He came to breakfast with us at the Cherry Tree cafe and was politeContinue reading “Waterfalls”

The park was quiet overnight and Bluey was quiet in his crate. He whimpered for company after we were awake. With cooler temperatures Tilly quickly found the warm places to sleep, and even converted the blanket on the crate into her own sleeping bag. Horses were at the fence while I was walking Tilly. IContinue reading “Renewing Friendships”

For the past two months we have been busy repairing and restoring doors and verandas at home. We have run away from the unfinished jobs travelling with the Bushtracker. We farewelled friends over dinner and again over breakfast! There was intermittent rain at the Gold Coast, but it eased off soon after we hit theContinue reading “Travelling Again”

We arrived home yesterday afternoon. Blue and Tilly were so excited they did many laps chasing each other from the front of the house to the back. It was warm as we unpacked the essentials – contents of fridge, bedding and critters’ food. We ordered take away Thai for dinner as there was no energyContinue reading “Home”
