Greg and Deb's Travel Blog

We had a very quiet morning, the weather looked like it could do anything so we decided to do nothing. 🙂  Except a load of washing,  some things you can’t escape even on holiday. Continue reading →

A short move, from the Northern Beaches to the North Shore, just to get a bit of a different Sydney experience.  A change is as good as a holiday, so they say, so we thought we would give it a try. Yep it works, still feels like we’re on holiday! Continue reading →

We were up and about by about 8:30am this morning, it seems that Tent City or the suburb, as Deb has come to call it, is being packed up for the weekend and lots of people are heading home.  It will be nice to have all the crowds gone, if only for one day. Continue reading →

We woke this morning to a rather hazy/smoky caravan park. I immediately put it down to the scout jamboree that is apparently here this week end.  But I think I may have been wrong, but you will have to read on to find out why. 🙂

We had another quiet relaxing morning.  It’s another blue sky sun shiny sort of day, Continue reading →

Thursday 18^th Wyoming.

Dinner last night was good, thanks Bruce.  Craig and his family had eaten there before (some time ago) and were left unimpressed by their first experience, but I think they have changed their minds now 🙂

We had another relaxing day not doing very much at all. Continue reading →

Tiuesday 16 October 2012  Port Stephens to Wyoming / Gosford  134km

Sunday 14 Oct 2012 Port Stephens and Blacksmiths

We were up and on the road by about 9:30am  for a morning of markets.

Our first stop was the Nelson Bay Markets.  It was a busy little market and so much better than the one in Scone.  There were the full array of stalls you’d expect and most of them had good fresh produce. Continue reading →

We woke to another cold morning, 2 C in the van a probably a lot colder outside.  Deb cranked up the A/C and it took ages before it got to double figures.  Outside was all misty, particularly over the river Continue reading →

It was a tad cold here this morning, 6C, but it could have been a lot colder, it was snowing in the Blue Mountains  300km south of here.  Needless to say we didn’t hurry out of bed.

Once we got up and about we went into town for a bit of a look around.    Continue reading →

Luckily?, I woke at 3am sneezing (Deb putting her new feather duster to work on the blinds in the van late yesterday afternoon), after getting up to get a tissue I found the back end of the van wet! It was raining most of the night and we had left one of the roof vents fully open all night.  That’s where the luck comes in, I was able to close the vent and  mop up all the water before we got flooded out!
