Henrys New Boots
. Travel Day The road to Cobar had loads of Rest Areas – probably the most we’ve seen between towns so far, and they’re really well-maintained and clean. There was also an amazing number of goats on the sides of…
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)…
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,…
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…
February ‘25 Update
A time of preparation and planning. The new year has come and gone, and somehow, we’re already halfway through February! Time is flying, and we’re more than ready for a bit of a break. We’ve got a long weekend trip…
Two Weeks On
An Update: Time for an update from the Simple Slow Road Crew! We’ve been back at the Farm for around two weeks now, and it feels like a lot has gone on in that time… Our dogs and cats…
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…
d20 – 3wk shakedown
Sleeps: Another night of musical beds, and containers and bags catching water. Despite that, plus the bed-hopping dog, and the oppressive humidity, we all slept pretty ok. Wheehee: – we finally copped a break! Mid morning this morning, and…
d19 – 3wk shakedown
Musical beds: Last night was a bit of a free-for-all when it came to who was sleeping where… Mabi got the best of it, as she got to swap around to different beds every couple of hours throughout the night,…
