A BEAUTIFUL SUNRISE.




I went down to the beach this morning while Ed was packing up. It was a beautiful sunrise, and I just wanted a last look at this view. 

I spoke to the lady in the office this morning just to say goodbye and thank her….and straight away she said…..you will be back won’t you!😂

And for sure we will. We loved our time here as it’s a no frills park, and she said we would be able to pick a site and book it, as I told her every time I heard a ships horn I would have to run so as not to miss it go through. So a closer one will be much better. 

The HMAS Sydney leaves today.  There is also a Fort on the top of the hill overlooking the entrance to this Port, and as the Sydney goes through she will do a Gun Salute. 

Ed said we could wait so as I could watch it……but I don’t think I could’ve.
No doubt I would be a blubbering mess….and I have to drive today. 🥹



How could I possibly stand there and watch those men dressed in uniform saluting…❤️🇦🇺🇦🇺





So it’s goodbye Stockton..
Take care everyone 🥰🥰

DUARINGA QLD

Image
After staying two days at Dingo, we decided we would move on. We thought the wind may have settled down a bit today, but of course…it was still blowing…so off we went to tackle it.  Luckily for us we had a great wind break all along as it was quite thick bush. 😊 So a big day driving……all of 40km 🤣…we arrived at Duaringa.  We have been here a few times before, but it’s one of our favourite camp spots.  There’s a population of 262 people.  The Dawson River is close by, and supplies Duaringa’s town water. The Dawson and MacKenzie River both join up north-east of Duaringa to form the Fitzroy River, which eventually flows through the city of Rockhampton.  A mural depicting the three rivers is painted on the back of the Duaringa Historical & Info Centre, facing the Capricorn Highway….. Also at the Info centre is a free WiFi point for all the travellers that need to charge, or need free WiFi which is a great idea.  I remember many years ago we were staying h...

TALLEBUDGERA , BURLEIGH & RAINBOW BEACH.

Image
We have had beautiful warm weather this last week so we thought it was a good time to do a “Beach Crawl”.  We started with Burleigh Heads a few days ago. Bloody hell….we didn’t recognise the place! There are so many new high rise apartments getting built. The skyline was full of cranes which I know is progress, but the taller these buildings get….the more  shadows cross over the sand.  A lot of the apartments have been knocked down now….and where Mum and Dad lived…..that 2 story building is dwarfed by huge buildings.  Their old unit….and their new neighbours…. Bertie would not be happy…😳 🥰 This is Burleigh Beach looking towards Surfers Paradise and looking in the opposite direction towards Burleigh Hill which is a lovely spot.  You can walk around Burleigh Hill and it brings you out to Tallebudgera, which is a favourite of ours.  This part of Tallebudgera is where we all go fishing, and they also have a netted area to swim in so you don’t get any stingers...

WANDOAN QLD

Image
Wandoan is a lovely town in the Western Downs Region. It was formerly known as Juandah. In 1926, it was renamed Wandoan to avoid confusion with Jundah….near Longreach.  Population is 566…..with the median age of people being 38 years old! (You’d have to be young to work on this land) Travelling here through the bush, there were a lot of dead kangaroos (which isn’t unusual ) but there were loads of huge black bores dead on the road. Hate to hit one of those big buggers! There is no TV reception here, so every man and their dog has a satellite dish.🤣🤣 (Last night we stayed at the small town of Taroom….but they had no TV and no Internet!! 😳😳) Danny Deckchair made another appearance…..you kids will know what I’m talking about 🤣🤣🤣🙄 There is no rail service here,  so the old train station now houses the tourist info centre.  It’s a very interesting town.  Good doggie.. So clever. All from scraps…and old tools. The towns water supply In 1965, reticulated water (safe...
