We are coming to the end of our time here in Australia now with one week left to go. We are spending the first four days with Belinda as mentioned in yesterday’s blog and the remainder of the time with Frasers mum. We have a few loose ends to tie up this week of which … More Back in Melbourne – 20th March 2019

Got up, packed up and drove over to a suburb called Belconnen where Frasers father has had a u-stow-it for over 40 years. Not sure how the economics of having a storage shed for 40 years adds up unless you have bars of gold stashed there. We had to pick up some boxes and take … More Hume Highway – 19th March 2019

Travel day from Sydney to Canberra. We decided to break the trip back to Melbourne over two days as with Suzy Suzuki’s top comfortable speed of 90kph, it does take a lot longer. We saw Sue off for the day and promised her our next visit would not be so far away as before. Hopefully … More Canberra Bound – 18th March 2019

What we thought would be a relaxing day turned rather busy. Started with a relaxed breakfast with Sue and Darryl. Following that, we went upstairs to fold and reorganize Sue’s linen cupboard. She had been impressed with our OCD when it comes to folding clothes from off the line after our previous visit last month. … More Hogwarts – 17th March 2019

Alas, all good things must come to an end. It was an early start as you are meant to leave the campground by 10.00am and it was going to take some time to pack up the caravan and dismantle the tent. After breakfast in the caravan, the girls tackled the inside and made sure everything … More Back to Sydney – 16th March 2019

We had another casual start to the day with a breakfast that was an enjoyable and long affair. The boys went off fishing again whilst the girls used the opportunity to do lots of reading after walking down town for a coffee and some light shopping. The guys came home with three more fish to … More Hawks Nest – 15th March 2019

It was very windy last night and continued right through the day today with gusts up to 45k which meant everything had to be securely tied down. Pete started the day by getting up at the ungodly hour of 6.30am to go and chase the fish. The rest of us decided he could do it … More Day of R&R – 14th March 2019

After three days of very hot weather and blue skies we awoke to overcast weather with threatening thunderous clouds. Action plan was to do some final shopping to completely fill up the fridge with only healthy food. That task was allocated to us as Carol had other household duties that she would be a lot … More A Glamping We Do Go – 13th March 2019

The last few days have once again been a bit of a blur. Our first port of call on Monday was to visit our Accountant who just happens to be in Maitland. Sheree has done our dastardly taxes for over twenty years now and we thought it might be a wise idea to pop in … More Ship Ahoy – 11th and 12th March

Today we drove down the coast to visit our old neighbours from Muswellbrook, Verna and Russell. They moved down to Rathmines on the coast four years ago and have also retired. We got on with these guys really well and they have two delightful grown children Claire and Warren. When we left to move to … More Dazi – 10th March 2019
