CROWDY HEAD BEACH. NSW

Ed and I have decided that this would have to be up there with one of the most beautiful beaches we’ve been too. 

Crowdy Head is a headland beach that has no bells and whistles, and isn’t over crowded. There is a lovely lighthouse that was built in 1878.





It was a stunning day, and you could see for miles on top of that hill.

Down on the beach was just as lovely.





There is a small surf club with an attached kiosk where you can buy the best fish and chips, crumbed prawns and coffee and ice creams. 



We did a two hour walk along this beach, and the water was like a bath, and so clear. 

About 5klm back from Crowdy Head is Harrington, a lovely little seaside town that has a caravan park. 
Instead of staying at the Showgrounds at Taree again, we will stay at the caravan park nearer to Crowdy. 

We just love the coast, so instead of inland places, the coast will be where we will stay from now on……unless of course we are going to visit family. 

Tomorrow we have another beach to explore, then on Sunday we move on to a beach further down the coast of NSW that we’ve had booked for a while, and have never been to before. 

Take care everyone ❤️❤️❤️

DUARINGA QLD

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...

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...

MELVILLE CAVES…..KOOYOORA STATE PARK, BRENANAH, VICTORIA.

Image
That was a mouthful of an address, but what a magic spot it turned out to be. Melville Caves are on top of a spectacular Rocky Mountain. You follow a steep path through the park, past lots of huge boulders. And you come to this beautiful lookout. It was a stunning view. From there, you go around the huge boulders, down a path, and around to the caves.  It reminded me of the Grampians. You have to squeeze through these rocks…..then squeeze through more…. And into the caves.  The caves are called Melville Caves after a notorious bush ranger , Captain Melville, who used the caves as a hiding place and lookout, in the mid 19th century. (Born 1860-1869). He would see the coaches come through carrying the Gold, and ambush them.  So when you squeeze through that crack, you come into the cave itself.  I made Ed go through first 😂😂😂😂😳😳😳 Giving me the “all clear” 👍😂 It was so cold, and very quiet….but a nice feeling at the same time when you thought about the history ...
