We took Bluey to the Sunday market held at HOTA (Home Of The Arts). Previously signs have advised small dogs are to be carried through food areas, but today’s signs stated no dogs allowed at the market by order of the Gold Coast Council. There were dozens of dogs at the markets, but fortunately noContinue reading “Sunday Activities”

It was a lovely sunny day all day. We met our friend for breakfast and Bluey was very happy. When Anita went to pay for our meals and coffee, the owner asked her if we had paid yesterday. With the distraction of the rain, neither of us had remembered to pay before putting Bluey backContinue reading “Sunny Day”

Wet and windy weather continued most of the day, but our part of the Gold Coast did not experience the torrential rain that fell over the Hinterland. We took Bluey with us to breakfast at one of our regular haunts which has a large covered area where dogs are allowed. After dropping Bluey at homeContinue reading “Wet Weather”

For breakfast we went to the MO Wholefood Cafe at Market Organics. As it was raining we drove rather than walk the short distance. Bluey stayed in the car as it was too wet to sit outside. There hasn’t been a large volume of rain here, but the road flooded as the storm water drainContinue reading “More Jobs”

A few jobs have emerged since we have been home. The “painting” job became more complex because the repaired area is  a different texture to the rest of the wall. I rang Dulux for advice about the best way to improve the outcome, but will have to wait for the rain to stop. A strangeContinue reading “Jobs at Home”

As the stupid Gold Coast Council unnecessarily made our street 2 hour parking on weekdays, we had to move the Bushtracker or risk another parking fine. Our friends at the Willow Vale “caravan park” offered to let us park there for a couple of weeks. We took Bluey for the drive and he was thrilledContinue reading “Caravan Storage”

It was a slow drive home because of school holiday and Sunday morning traffic. We had to back out of our caravan park site because it was too tight to drive out. There are no rest stops along the southern end of the Bruce Hwy, or along the Gateway Motorway. We took the exit toContinue reading “Caloundra to Home”

We drove to Earth Espresso Bar for breakfast, early enough to be able to park on the street for 2 hours. Later parking became more difficult, especially along the surf beaches. Breakfast was alright but not brilliant. Technically our caravan park is located in the suburb of Golden Beach, so named because it once hadContinue reading “Golden Beach”

There was overnight rain and early morning thunder in Dalby. After packing up we drove to the Urban Paddock Cafe for breakfast, but were again disappointed by the quality of our meals. This is the number one cafe in Dalby and has been good in the past. The drive was only 250kms but in partsContinue reading “Dalby to Caloundra”

During the day cloud cover developed and rain is expected tonight in Dalby. We had to search for raincoats and warmer clothes as we are likely to need them for the last couple of days of our trip. The 355kms drive from Mitchell involved some rough bouncy roads. The A2 Landsborough Hwy became the WarregoContinue reading “Mitchell to Dalby”
