Roma
. Antsy! Our next park-up was to be in Roma, so we stopped off on the way in Augathella to stretch, take the dogs for a walk, and have a look at some Tank Art, and go to the Meat-Ant…
Off-Grid Evenings
Hughenden On our way through outback Queensland we stopped in again and parked up at Allen Terry in Hughenden – where we’ve stayed before – for an off-grid overnight stop, to decide where the next turn will take us. Thankfully,…
Wongaling
Lovely – but… We’d been hearing rumours for many many months about a Park at Wongaling Beach called Bali Hai Holiday Park that was an over 18 (aka child-free) Park, and whilst it was stupidly expensive (in our opinion)…
Rollingstone & Townsville
Rollingstone We desperately felt in need of some serene beach-time after around 5 weeks in the red dust of the outback, so took in 3 nights while we could get them, at one of our favorite haunts at Rollingstone Beach…
Hughenden
When we decided to leave Richmond, we looked up and made a call to the landline of the Hughenden Caravan Park. We got voicemail and duly left a message, not feeling great about getting a callback after our last…
Richmond
Richmond – sorta.. The rain had set in overnight, so when we left from Julia Creek most of the drive to Richmond was spent in the rain, with some of it being quite heavy. Our first stop in Richmond…
At the Creek
Cloncurry return The drive from the Isa straight through to Julia Creek was going to be a little longer than we wanted to do in one haul, so we decided that as we’d liked the Cloncurry Van Park so much,…
Mount Isa
Mount Isa We pulled up half way between Cloncurry and the Isa at the Fountain Springs Rest Area, to have a stretch and for the dogs to have a sniff and wander, and a bit of a break from the…
Normanton to Chinamans Dam
Normanton to Burke & Wills Roadhouse We weren’t wildly sorry to leave Normanton, it just wasn’t for us. The people – especially in the shops, were nice and friendly and the VIC was great, but it just wasn’t a place…
Georgetown to Normanton
Georgetown to Croydon. This drive was mostly single lane, and one of the longest single-lane stretches we’ve been on so far, but it was still better than the Bruce Highway, and traffic coming the other way were ‘respectful’, and would…
Tablelands to Georgetown
Our travels have begun, and we’re now officially members of the great Road-Warrior / Nomad Community! We were fortunate enough to get a nice sunny day for our first day of travel – which we very much appreciated after mostly…
It’s alllll happening!
The Journey Begins: Retirement, Adventure, a new chapter, and Life on the Road The cat is out of the bag, the bullet has been bitten, and the leap has been leapt! After more than two decades as a top Real…
Back to the Farm
Time got away from us a bit in the last couple of weeks, so we’re playing catch-up! Better late than never tho eh…?!? Moving right along from our last post, and we were in the process of heading back to…
A Few Stops Later
Simple Slow Wanders – A Few Stops Later More than a couple of days have passed and we’ve stopped at quite a few new-to-us sites! The weather has been alternating between glorious crisp days with sunshine, and windy mizzly…
Back on the Road
Back on the Road – Slowly & Simply Well, we’ve been back on the road in Henry Moho for almost a week now, and it feels soooo good to be rolling again. We’re meandering our way towards the Gold…
d21 – 3wk shakedown
Melting: Last night was possibly the hottest and most humid sleep either of us have ever had. With the aircon not working, and all of the windows except the small one under the awning needing to stay closed because of…
