Wed 10th October 2012 Dubbo

We had a very relaxing sleep, Deb’s fear of lots of noise from the bus load of 7 year olds didn’t come to fruition, thankfully! After a quiet start to the day we headed off to the Dubbo Shoyoen Sister City Gardens. Continue reading

7 Oct 2012 Broken Hill and Silverton

We had a great nights sleep, I think we have both slipped into holiday mode very easily.

We were out on the road around 8:30 on our way to The Broken Hill Sculpture Symposium and Living Desert Sanctuary, about 9km out of town.  The Sculpture Symposium is a placement of 12 sandstone sculptures on the top of a flat topped hill, that was put in place in early 1993.  Continue reading

6 October 2012 Adelaide to Broken Hill 511 km

We were up at 5:30am (Deb was up at 5). Because of all the guttering and road works out in front of our home we decided to leave the caravan a street away last night. We packed all our clothes, and most of our food and drinks into it last night and locked it up ready for hitching up in the morning. Continue reading

We started the day very lazily with a lay in until about 8am, it was just too warm in bed to face the chilly morning. Luckily we had an invitation to breakfast at Tom and Vons, so all was great. Continue reading

Our day started at the Willunga Farmers Markets. There were lots more stalls there than the last time we went and the prices seemed to be a bit better. The produce is always great, we picked up some grapes, cheeses, freshly baked bread and a couple of venison pies. )A delicious tea waits for us a bit later. Continue reading

Port Willunga for 10 days mid May 2012

Its time to dust of the cobwebs in our van and take it for a very short spin to Port Willunga for a week and a half.

Just me, Deb and Aiko down on the coast, a short drive from McLaren Vale, a short walk to the beach and maybe time just to settle back with a good book.

Joy  🙂

Monday 27th, Tuesday 28th and Wednesday 29th Feb 2012 Gosford/Wyoming

Monday morning was a bit of a working morning for me.  Craig dropped his water blaster off and I cleaned the pavers in mum’s back yard.  I thought it would take me about 2hrs, but a bit over 4½hrs later the back looked sparkling clean, with all the moss and ground in grime blasted away and I was ready to be hosed down.   I surprised myself,  I was still able to move later in the day after I cooled down.  🙂 Continue reading
