Kidman Way, Griffith to Cobar Much as we could see Griffith has much to offer the visitor we weren't unhappy to be moving on further north. As we drove away from the actual town we passed many rows of fruit trees and vines. After about half an hour we arrived at Goolgowi, with its massive …
Griffith Breakfast finished we hooked up the caravan and after farewelling Denise and Wayne we drove off. As we approached Shepparton we refueled and took the heavy vehicle route around town. An hour later we approached the border, crossed the Murray River and entered NSW. Half an hour later we came to Finley where we …
Arcadia Farm It's the time of the year when we start to look at the weather forecast. The next week looked pretty grim. Rain and a temperature drop from 18 to 12 was the signal to pack the caravan and head north for the winter. I had been planning for a while so within a …
From Charters Towers we made our way out to Townsville and headed north to our next destination, Mission Beach. The road in has several roadsigns unique to this area warning drivers to be wary of cassowaries. Formerly a very quiet village, Mission Beach is now a spread out centre over about 15 kilometres of beautiful …
On our first couple of trips into town we couldn't help but notice how many well preserved buildings there were. The previous day we had collected quite a few brochures from the Tourist Information Centre. One of them detailed a heritage trail so that's what I am going to post about this time. One Square …
The next morning we drove back into town, parked and walked up to the nearby Tourist Information Centre, which was housed in a small building next to a grand old bank. Things to do In Charters Towers A very helpful lady soon had us looking at a variety of options of how to spend the …
The rest of our drive to Charters Towers was pretty smooth driving and finding our caravan park, Big 4 Aussie Outback Oasis Caravan Park, on the edge of town was equally easy. We were soon set up and eating lunch next to our caravan. Lunch finished, we took a bit of a rest. However after …
Winton to Hughenden Our next planned stop was Hughenden. Once again we found we could not make a booking at the one and only caravan park but having now stopped at Showgrounds in both Barcaldine and Winton we felt this could be possible again. So off we headed, north east along State route 62. Not …
Arno's Wall Part art, part architecture, part genius, part weird, but largely one man's practical construction which uses lots of junk culled from the local tip to make a 2m high wall down the side of his property. Now I won't ramble on because a sign board at the front of his property describes his …
Australian Age Of Dinosaurs Once again I would recommend making an advance booking for the Australian Age Of Dinosaurs so that you don't miss out on a fantastic experience relating to Australia's prehistoric past. We purchased the Ultimate Dinosaur Pass package. This included a guided tour of the Fossil Preparation Laboratory, the Collection Room and …
