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 …
Cobar to Cunnamulla We had a reasonably long drive of 420 kms to our next destination, Cunnamulla, so once breakfast was finished we packed up and headed off north. The first town was Bourke, 159 kms away. Here is a snap of the sign as we came to Bourke shire. However it was still quite …
Cobar A very cool start to the day didn't encourage us to rush out of bed. Eventually we left our cosy bed and ate breakfast. We drove back into town and parked near the supermarkets so we could grab a few things for lunch and dinner. As we walked along the main street we noticed …
Cobar After leaving the Cobar Tourist Information Centre we took their first suggestion and walked across the road to the Miners Memorial and the Mining Heritage Park.

An hour later we approached the border, crossed the Murray River and entered NSW. Half an hour later we came to Finley where we …

A fourth lockdown in late May caused some anxious moments but the …
Our ability to travel has become severely limited to Covid 19. Going overseas isn't possible and even after a vaccine is freely administered we would think twice about heading anywhere out of the Asia-Pacific region given how poorly some countries have managed to control its spread. Even our state borders have been locked down several …
