Day 19   Innisfail to Mission Beach Qld     24 July 2016

As usual our leaving day started early and we got on the road at about 8am for our short drive to Mission Beach, it is a mere 51km. The caravan park we wanted to stay at didn’t take bookings so we thought to give us our best chance we would get there early. Continue reading →

We had a fabulous day today, the sky was blue and the sun was shining.  🙂

We skirted around the Atherton Tablelands on our way into Innisfail and it felt wrong not to be visiting.   A few days ago Glenys suggested we should go, glad we did.    Continue reading →

Day 16 21 July 2016  Mount Surprise to Innisfail Qld  252km

We set out around 8am, the day looked promising, with only a little rain forecast. We drove through Mount Garnet and then onto the top of the Atherton Tablelands (well the bit we were driving through anyway) at Millaa Millaa.   It was around here that the rain/mist/foggy conditions started.

Hello, Deb here, can’t believe it is day 15.    I feel really relaxed.    I always remember when I am away camping how relaxing it is.    It is like I forget the rest of the time!   🙂

We haven’t been blessed with the best weather while we have been away, has been cold and wet in places where it should have been warm.   Continue reading →

Hi all, I have a bit of catching up to do. Who would have thought I wouldn’t get time to do our blog. After all, it’s not as though we are holidaying or anything. 🙂 Continue reading →

Day 9 Mount Isa. 14 July 2016

The good news is, the NSW Blues won the third NRL State of Origin game last night, preventing a Queensland 3-0 Series win. The good folk of Mount Isa didn’t seem too happy about the result, but, hey. Lol Continue reading →

As a general observation traveling through this part of northern Australia is that the locals are truly crazy!

All the way from Erldunda to Mount Isa there are termite mounds, dotted at an increasing frequency along the road side. At some time in the past I assume someone though of a great idea, “Let’s dress up the termite mounds!” Continue reading →

Australia  The East Bit

Palya!   (Hello)

Before I get onto today, let’s step back a day.

As promised here is our “Field of Light – Uluru” Experience Continue reading →

We had an easy day.

Breakfast in the resort breakfast area was so busy, but the staff  were very efficient and the food was fresh and very good.

It rained about 13mm overnight and the grounds were wet with grey skies as we ventured out.  We made our way out to Uluru, hoping we might get the opportunity to see water cascading down from the top. Continue reading →

We eased our way into today.

I filled the car up with fuel and we packed the van up as much as possible before locking it all up and leaving it in Erldunda while we headed off to Uluru for a couple of nights. Continue reading →
