Euroa to Dromana It was another cold morning but nowhere near as cold as the morning before. We were soon on the road and heading down the Hume. At the Seymour sign we exited. We drove through the town and onto the road to Yea. This route allows us to go around the east side …
Brr, it was really cold. The caravan may be insulated and the heater was on but at 4:09 Karen and I were both trying to warm up. We put another doona on the bed and turned up the heater. That soon helped. My weather app told us it was zero and would head down another …
Having finished breakfast we packed up the caravan and headed off. Our plan was to take the freeways around the western side of Sydney and avoid the worst of the peak hour traffic and it worked well. We had cleared the city and were on our way down the Hume Highway by 10:45. Sydney - …
Lake Macquarie - Sydney Having not spent time with our youngest son, Jay, for five months, we were really looking forward to catching up with him in his new place. He'd spent the previous five and half years studying and working in Japan and he'd only been back in Australia for a few months when …
Jimmy's Beach to Mannering Park The next leg of our roadtrip was from Jimmy's Beach down to Lake Macquarie. Again the Myall River was very still and good reflections of the scenery could be observed as we drove over the bridge near Tea Gardens. Within fifteen minutes we had rejoined the Pacific Highway. Sadly drizzly …
Emerald Beach to Jimmy's Beach As it was only 350 kms to our next stopping point we had a leisurely breakfast before packing up at Emerald Beach. Heading out onto the highway we were soon heading south. The tell tale signs winter was past its worst were evident - lots of beautiful wattles were in …
Kingscliff to Emerald Beach We awoke again to another wet day. Breakfast was soon finished and we packed up quickly in between showers. As we headed off we had one more look at the Tweed River before making our way onto the M1 south. Even though the terrain was mostly flat with a few hills …
Golden Beach to Kingscliff This was the day we left Queensland and continued south into New South Wales. To avoid peak hour in Brisbane we left about 9:30. This meant we would be passing through Brisbane about 10:30. Things were going well until we reached a point where the freeway split. Unfortunately we were in …
Bundaberg to Caloundra Our next stopping point was going to be Golden Beach in Caloundra. The trip south started smoothly. Love the old buildings in Childers. Lots of roadworks after that until we passed the turn off to Hervey Bay. We stopped in Gympie for cheap fuel. After paying about $2.35 per litre of diesel …
Bundaberg Botanic Garden For regular readers you know we love to see Australian native plants so visiting Bundaberg's Botanic Gardens was a must. So off we went on our last day in Bundaberg. After finding a car park we checked out a map of the gardens at the entrance. By the way it's free to …
