Aiko 22nd Nov 2001 – 14th July 2017

Posted on 23/09/2017 by Deborah


It has been over a year since we posted here! After our travels around north eastern Australia, we decided we would not travel again without Aiko.  We wanted to spend our time with her.  Aiko spent a lot of the last year cuddled up on the couch. She loved her time in Veale garden off lead, but 10 mins was enough.  Up until the end she still bounded outside for her food, like a spring lamb. She was always a delight and bought us a lot of joy.  Aiko is missed, home just isn’t the same. Continue reading →

Australia  The East Bit     Day 48 Byron Bay NSW 22 Aug 2016 

Posted on 22/08/2016 by Greg

We woke late this morning to the sad news that we lost the Men’s Basketball Bronze Medal play-off at the Olympics overnight.  Guess we have another 4 years to get that little bit better.

Our day started with hitting the streets of Byron at around 10:30, walking around the shopping strips and down to the beach. Continue reading →

Australia  The East Bit     Day 44  Brisbane Qld to Byron Bay NSW 18 Aug 2016  159 km

Posted on 18/08/2016 by Greg

Thankfully we are on the south side of Brisbane and heading south. We left the CP at about 8:10am and the traffic heading into Brisbane was bumper to bumper, and even worse at all the exits. We had a very smooth run south. Deb was disappointed that she missed seeing the Qld/NSW border, but then there wasn’t any recognition that you ever crossed it, no signs or anything like we have encountered elsewhere.
