... Gundagai and Yass.  We stopped for the night just past Yass in a rest are - our first night of free camping.  We met Dee and Jacqui who were travelling back to the Blue Mountains.  We found that our batteries were playing up in the fifth wheeler possibly from non-usage over the last few months but they seemed to come back and allowed us light at least for the evening. The thing that struck us was that the terrain was ...

... nice Dangar Falls near Dorrigo, and then headed towards the coast to Coffs Harbour through Bellingen, this is also a really nice route. We didn't see much of Coffs Harbour, but we saw enough to know we didn't want to stick around, it is a typical Australian family holiday destination. We stopped for a picture of the Big Banana, a dubious tourist attraction which is said to have started Australia's craze for big things (we have already seen the Big Winch at Coober Pedy, and ...

... circuit for a look at fishermans something or other, fishermans point I think. We ended up getting lost because the path was one that seemed to split into 20 different directions. Taking the one that looked to us the least overgrown led us into a maze of trees with spiders webs all over the place, and the massive spiders that made them were everywhere. Got to the fishermans point eventually which really was nothing special (maybe for fishing but ...

On the 8th we packed all our **** and headed back to Lakemba to pick up our car. Our stuff was so heavy, we had to stop every few minutes to rest. I was just dripping with sweat by the time we reached the train. We bought the car for $1450 and payed an extra $60 to fix the air conditioning which is an absolute must. I was the first of me and max to try driving. Right off the ...

A short trip to the general store to pick up the newspapers then a relaxing morning sipping coffee on the verandah Jenny took us on a 4WD tour of the property, meeting up with Willy tending to the cattle Lunch on the western verandah, enjoying the antics of Bella (the blind labrador) & Ted (the hyperactive Jack Russell) Susan escaped to her beloved garden A delicious BBQ dinner, & more red wine of course. Susan's famous creme caramel topped it off.

... dolphins, sting rays and bryons very own returning hump backed whale can be seen at the right time of year. Now when I say bryon is relaxed you might get the idea it is full of hippies, well it is true that those searching a more boho way of life have made this place their home.here children are called pheonix and gumpie (no really they are), naked toddlers are seen happily running about smothered in chocolate sauce (god I hope that was chocolate sauce ...

The physco got progressively weirder so just after christmas we decided enough was enough and on a thursday evening we came in to the city to find somewhere else to live and an hour and a half later we has a ...

... incident when a grasshopper (or something similar) the size of a mouse decided to jump onto Laurel's t-shirt. Needless to say this didn't go down too well.... Apparently Coffs Harbour is the banana capital of New South Wales so we stopped to take a picture of the 'Big Banana Visitor Centre' on the way through. Very exciting. After a couple of hours we arrived in Nambuicca Heads and made our way to the centre to suss it out ...

... smooth glides down. There was a time where my cap had been blown away by the wind and I knocked off my sunnies grabbing it. My cap went downhill with me but my sunglasses was caught up in the middle of this steep sand hill. I asked Barb to push it down or grab it if she can on her next slide down. She hit it but it just went down a few metres. So I decided to climb the steep sand and it was not that easy. I finally grabbed it but now I don't ...
