Another adventure begins

    Highlights Not such highlights Leaving Traveston safely with all pets and caravan intact – both Going to the old car rally we couldn’t find - both Gympie gold museum - both   Noosa – Kate   Seeing the Scenic Rim area - Kate   Highfield Pioneer Museum – both, especially Will    Sorry photos are out of order but we are keen to hit the road again soon. Oh My Goodness…I can’t tell you how relieved I was when Will hitched up the van and towed it without incident from its precarious position - leaning heavily to the right over the owners brand new septic system. I had decided I was worrying over nothing, and worry I did every time I looked at that damn van, so I asked Will with 2 days of our sit to go (expecting reassurance and to be told I was overthinking things as usual) “Dear, are you worried about getting t...

  Highlights Not so highlights Coffs Harbour pier walks - both Thinking I’d ruined the marble - Kate Refreshing swims in our private pool - Kate Escaping goats - both ANZAC March - both   Walk along Maclean River - both   Listening to music in Ballina - both   Collingwood winning – Will   Fig Tree Walk near Kenilworth - both   Over the next few days, we went for drives around the local area – finding short walks in rainforests for me, little towns to look at and well, um, not much that was exactly up Will’s ally. There was that wet slippery looking dirt road google said would get us back to Moonee Beach, but as tempted as Will was, when he saw me already clawing the new seats he turned around. We both enjoy the walks along the wharf at Coffs Harbour. The first time we went was mark...

  Highlights Less of a highlight The house - both Weather – Will, Kate just a little The dogs – Bonnie – both Shady – Kate more so, I think she’s a lady’s dog, Will’s a little frustrated that he hasn’t won her over yet Stand Up Paddle Boarding – order me a kayak next time - Will Emerald Beach walk - both   Stand Up Paddle Boarding - Kate   Indigenous tour while on Paddle Boards - both   Gifts left by home owners – both     We rang our house sit owners to say we were on the way for handover, a little earlier than expected, as hanging out at the caravan park wasn’t a huge amount of fun and we’d already pulled up at Moonee Beach (a gorgeous spot – more of an inlet than a beach but lots of people snorkelling, paddling etc.) had a coffee and a wander around. Moonee Beach Inlet The owners were ve...

  For those with limited reading time: Highlights Less of a high-light Platypus spotting in Bombala - Kate Being only slightly lost in Sydney - both Autumn morning walk, mist rising, sun shining - Kate Last caravan park before house sitting -both Cooma Car Club Museum - Will Economy of new ute – Will  18litres per 100km in hills while towing Snowy Hydro Discovery Centre - Both   Comfort of new ute - Both   Never, ever did I think when I blogged in 2015, that I would being writing another eight years on. I couldn’t ever imagine Will being bit by the travel bug but it seems there has been a small nibble! And we’ve both realised that cold wet winters aren’t an environment we thrive in, so here I am, starting another blog for a new and different adventure. I can’t remember whether it was 2016 or 2018, but one of those years I took l...
