Mackenzie Falls is only 7 kms to the lovely Reeds Lookout or just over 18 kms from Halls Gap township. We included it as a part of a scenic drive to Reeds Lookout. (See previous post.) After parking the car we followed the trail down to where the sealed descent began, passing some lovely wildflowers …
Mid afternoon we drove out about 12 kms to Reeds Lookout carpark and made the short walk to the lookout. Even from the start of the trail there was an excellent view. After ascending a bit the view was even better. Soon the trail was a short section of slightly elevated boardwalk. Some bright yellow …
After finishing the walk up to the Pinnacle we drove around to the Silverband Falls carpark. It was only a short 700 metres walk through a partly shady, partly sunny forested area to the base of Silverband Falls. It's aptly named as it really is only a thin band of water falling from the rock …
Pinnacle Walk from Sundial carpark The Grampians National Park in Victoria is a favourite place for bushwalkers and plant lovers alike. Spring is definitely the best time in our opinion to visit there. The walk/hike to the Pinnacle is one of the most popular walks. In previous times we have done this walk as a …
Jerilderie to Dromana We awoke to a cold clear day. A quick breakfast and pack up and we were driving through Jerilderie township just after 8:30. Passing the Royal Hotel we had to be quick to notice a grey signboard featuring bushranger Ned Kelly. Hope you can spot it too. To our right was a …
Dubbo to Jerilderie Unfortunately the rain hadn't stopped the next morning by the time we had eaten breakfast so I moved quickly to pack things up. Just as well we had left the caravan connected to the Hilux and only had to disconnect power and wind up the stabilising stays. As I finished the rain …
Goondiwindi - Dubbo We knew it was cold when we woke quite early. It was just after 6am and it was still dark. So we cuddled up under the covers until after 7am then quickly got up and dressed before eating breakfast. By the time we had packed up the caravan it was just after …
Hervey Bay to Goondiwindi Not my favourite things to be doing - arising early and heading south, all on the same day. However given we had a drive of just about 550 kms ahead of us it had to be done. With Goondiwindi our planned destination we were finished breakfast and packed up ready to …
Rainbow Beach to Hervey Bay Another moving day so we had eaten breakfast and packed up the caravan by 10:00 check out time. Mel had even taken a quick walk with us. Loved the bottlebrush flowers just coming into bloom in the caravan park gardens. Off we went. A perfect day, lots of blue sky …
Rainbow Beach Finally a day with a sunny start. After breakfast we did a quick bit of laundry. Once that was hung out we drove into Rainbow beach township. After parking the car at the beach end of the road we walked down the sealed ramp and onto the beach. This time we headed right, …
