MILLMERAN Pt 2


It was a very cold night, but we turned the diesel heater on about 5am and the van warmed up nicely enough to go back to sleep again! 🙄

So we are staying at a freebie camp that is in within walking distance to the town centre.




There are a few people camped in here with us, but not many which is nice. 
There are no facilities, but we have those on board, but they do provide water. 

I found this next photo on google. What a different looking place in the spring compared to the winter picture. Still it’s a very nice spot.




Over the road from us is a private property. 



I can only see a lady there by herself every day. She has horses and there’s about 6 dogs with her. 
I sat there watching her today thinking how nice that small property would be to own. 
She has that oblong caravan sat on her property with a lovely veranda on the front. I would be happy to have that plot and grow veggies on it with the doggies running around keeping the snakes away 🙂
She also belts out some great music! 

I also found this little property on our walk. It’s just so tiny and is a shotgun style where you can see from front to back through the doors. 



I just love these country properties. 

So we walked for miles and miles today.


And came across this old Dairy Co Op. it has since been taken over by Foodworks. (Grocery shop)

There’s a mosaic as well situated in the grounds as a homage to the old place.

















Is it me again?……🤦‍♀️…...this bloke looks like he’s having a wee up the wall?.😳😳

And this is the old Butter factory Dam.


It was done up by the youth of Millmeran about 10 years ago. 
There’s a Skate  park as well and it’s stocked with fish so the pontoon was built there too. 



And the local Primary School Mural. 

I think we are staying here again tomorrow, as we are heading toward Goondiwindi and don’t really want to get there on the weekend. 

There’s always plenty of walking to do so we keep busy……and warm. The days are beautiful with clear blue skies, but about 4pm you can smell all the houses light up their wood fires. Love being out in the country. 
I need to win Tatts to buy a small property to grow my veggies and have pet sheep.👩‍🌾

Stay safe 🦋🦋

MORE TRAVELS BACK TO TWEED HEADS.

Image
Left Forbes in the rain and headed to Dunedoo…population 1,000   Lighting wasn’t that good as it decided to come over stormy. We stayed the night at the small caravan park, $30….. bit overpriced, but like everything….the price has gone up.  Next day, after travelling on some horrific roads…..we got to Merriwa. We stayed behind the Pub, which was free, got some shopping an the local IGA, found this lovely Mural on the side wall made out of corrugated iron…. And basically stayed in the caravan as it rained all day and night.  Luckily next day, it had stopped raining, it was very muddy though where we were staying. Yuk  Headed off again, road conditions got worse, and stopped for the night at Gerry’s Plains.  It’s our usual stop free stop over. We found a nice spot next to the fence line, and had an audience as we set up. These horses are always here to greet you every time we come. So I had a lovely view while doing the dishes out of my kitchen window all afternoon😂😂 So we left that be

SEA LAKE, & MANANGATANG REVISTED.

Image
We left  Charlton this morning in the fog. It didn’t take long to lift, and then the sun came through. It was a little windy, but luckily we weren’t driving into it.  As we do, we zig zaged and went the long way, stopping at Nandaly for lunch. Ed used to deliver there when he worked for Dons Smallgoods.  They have a pub, and the shop that Ed delivered to had been closed down for what looked like a long time.  Population 30  What they have done, is built a lovely free stop over for campers. There’s showers,  toilets, and two power sockets for caravans to plug into.  There was no one there to take advantage of it all though as they built it so people could drop into the pub for a feed.  So on we went after lunch along the Calder Highway and turned into what Google maps said was the way to Chinkapook.  Well we must have blinked as we couldn’t find it…….but 17 people live there! So we stopped at Sea Lake instead and went for a walk up the Main Street.  It’s not a big town, and there were a

FROM MUSWELLBROOK TO GRAFTON NSW

Image
Between Muswellbrook and Singleton there were quite a few huge coal mines, and a huge power station. This Lake was built specifically by this huge Power Station…to cool down it down…and at its deepest is 35 metres deep.   The next town from there was Singleton, another mining town. We stopped for lunch, got out of the car and there was a terrible smell…..which we thought was just from all of the mines. So we went to get Subway for lunch, in the big shopping centre there….sat outside and we could still smell it.  Finished lunch then all of a sudden the alarm went off in the big shopping mall….and a recorded voice said “This is an emergency ……evacuate immediately” 😳 …..turns out it was a gas leak…..so off we went far, far away and let the fire brigade deal with it. We then drove all the way back to Muswellbrook and we’re glad to get there.  Next day we headed off and we arrived at Grafton and found this a nice place to camp for  two days. This belongs to the Grafton Vintage Car Club, an
