13th and 14th April

Left a windy Cosy Corner Campground. I couldn't drive fast enough through Denmark as Sal saw the markets on today signs. She picked up a few things and we continued on our way. 

Visited the 
There is a treetop walk on a big high rocking thing 40m above the ground.

Then a little walk around the mari and tingle trees.

Found our home the night at the Norhcliffe Bush Camp.
Nice with quaint little touches

Outdoor shower and toiletNo need for an occupied sign on door just look over wall to see.

The camp was nice for bush camp with quaint areas to sit and outdoor showers. But $60 a night was overpriced. 
We left and intended to see Windy Harbour. Promptly got lost on a wet red dirt road which covered the bus again. Hard to wash that red stuff off. 
Eventually we found tar again and explored around Pemberton. We visited the Glouster Tree. Which had steel stakes in it like a ladder so you get to the top. Luckily it was closed for climbing that day. Sort of felt sorry for the tree though. 

Shame I was really looking forward to see how my fear of heights was travelling.
We found Big  Brook Dam and they had a walking /riding track 4km around lake , so I convinced Sal she needed some exercise and we walked.
We had a quick swim and headed off to the Southern Chocolate factory. Sal devoured a hot chocolate and I had chilli and almond chocolate. 
They charge $15 to camp out the back of their farm. That's where our day ended.

Day 1.

Image
Well after thinking we were getting away early to start the trip plans changed. After Sal did her laps at Woonona pool we had a great breakfast with all the family and Lous parents at the North Break Cafe at Woonona. Photos and a couple of tears from Sal and we got away about 10.30am.  Easy drive to Yass and Sal took over while I slept in the back.  Wandered around Gundagai in some reasonable heat decided on Criterion Pub for pizza later and chilling in van.  Lost my horn as we were farewelling Oreste so maintenance starts already. Otherwise all going well.  Click on the link and hopefully a video will appear thanks to Leanne and her brains trust. Gundagai Free Camp https://youtube.com/shorts/lkXXHWhd0cQ?feature=shared

Day 2

Image
Quiet night with all fans blowing hard keeping it at an acceptable temperature. Early start along highway. Saw a truck rollover but he considerately went off the road to do it so no hold up. No one was injured. The driver was talking to the Police probably trying to convince him he didn't fall asleep on a straight stretch of road. All workers on hand at Holbrook painting the submarine. The submariners return every Australia day and paint her up. They stay in town and have a few drinks together at the local pub. Off to Echuca to hopefully find a spot by the river. The co-pilot wanted to do more driving so here she goes. Next to no traffic. It is a nice feeling to be on the 🛣️ again. Stopped in Rutherglen. Nice street to wander along. Old buildings interesting shops. Onto Murray Valley Highway and found our way to Chisties Beach on the Murray just out of Echuca. Found this great spot and waded in for a dip.  No serenity. It is filled with ski boats and jet skis, house bo...

Packing the motorhome a week out.

Image
 Well it is just a week away before we head off on our Biggest Trip ever. We are in the motorhome in Tassie for most of February. We are meeting friends at Geelong and doing some cycle rail trails for a few days.  After that we are exploring places along the coast towards the Nullabour. Then explore the areas towards the Margaret River Region.  We are leaving the motorhome at Perth Airport and pick up a car to travel up to Exmouth. Swim with Whale Sharks up there and snorkeling.  Back to Perth and fly over to Bali and meet the family there for a week. We are heading to another area in Bali for another week. From Perth we wander back exploring places we missed on the way.  We anticipate the trip will end back home in July.
