Breakfast at Belle Vue Cafe was surprisingly good, but the coffees were on the weak side. It advertises as a dog friendly cafe, but that is simply because there are outdoor tables on the footpath. Anita picked up a few groceries then I dropped her back at the van for some R and R withContinue reading “Tourist in Warwick”

We packed up in light rain at the Armidale Showground. Another van was waiting to take our spot. There were huge areas available but we must have chosen the best space. The rain was negligible on the drive to Glen Innes. We stopped so Bluey and I could stretch our legs. On the main streetContinue reading “Glen Innes, Tenterfield, Warwick”

Cooked breakfasts at the Goldfish Bowl Cafe were not as good as their breads and pastries. I had an OK rice pudding which Bluey enjoyed with some of Anita’s overcooked eggs. The two people sitting at the next table were focussed on talking to each other. The man’s toddler ran out of the cafe towardsContinue reading “Touring Armidale”

We left Tamworth today after farewelling our friends. We have not decided whether we will return for the delayed TCMF in April, but were assured there would be a site available for us. There are permanent residents who might be available to mind Bluey when we both want to go to events. We stopped forContinue reading “Uralla And Armidale”

On Sunday morning I put the awning away and cleaned and packed up some of our gear. Tilly was helping me pack the cargo bay. We decided to go back to Goonoo Goonoo Station for lunch. We should have tried another restaurant as the lunch menu was the same as the dinner menu from theContinue reading “Last Day Tamworth”

We had planned to have breakfast at the Bell House Cafe, but it was too crowded so we settled for take away coffees and Anita cooked breakfast back at our caravan. Sonny’s Bakery had a problem with the steamer oven and our sourdough did not rise properly. We will try cutting our free loaf tomorrowContinue reading “Walk East Tamworth”

We left Bluey in the Bushtracker for the first time this trip, as we were going to be in and out of shops. He was a bit crazy when we arrived home! There are several large historic buildings along a major thoroughfare in Tamworth – Marius St. We walked past several grand buildings. The CatholicContinue reading “Shopping In Tamworth”

Yesterday it rained most of the day, at times it was heavy. Water and debris flowed under our awning and mud formed under our groundsheets. I used tarps to reduce the mud washing down. I did not want Tilly or Blue to walk on the muddy areas so carried them to the grassy sections forContinue reading “Rain Then Cleanup”

We farewelled Kelly who is moving on today. As rain threatened Anita and I walked along Peel St under shop awnings. During the TCMF it would not be possible to walk far along Peel St with dozens of buskers performing at their allocated sites, and large crowds at coffee shops and shops. Today it wasContinue reading “Wet In Tamworth”

Our short morning walk was around the lovely village of Nundle. Blue was a reluctant walker so Anita succumbed and carried him for a while. We had breakfast and coffee at Nundle Fuel and Cafe, then walked to the Nundle Woollen Mill. This clever business opened in 2001 using locally produced wool processed on restoredContinue reading “Nundle”
