Our Australia trip

Three stories to write, that’s what happens if you’re just holidaying and not keeping track…… Dotti felt her lucky day as she picked up the emptied yoghurt tub from the floor. There’s always a lot of remains stuck to the sides. The last full day at Workman’s beach was a bit odd. I wanted to […]

Day two at Workmans Beach Take two! Yes take two, because I wrote a whole lot of stuff, and even saying I hope I can save it before Axel is back, because the save button was gone (misteriously) and replaced by a edit button. Axel came back and said>; yes you press the keyboard symbol […]

Ok, before the trip there have been many suggestions to our attire and looks with suggestions of cave(wo)man, hippie, gypsies, homeless and the like. We have had meetings, group sessions, seances, fire dances (I think the origin of those have more to do with continuous alternating wind -read smoke – directions), navel gazing and crystal […]

As you might know from other posts, one of the key reasons to go to Agnes Waters or 1770 is the kite surfing. We had contacted Cedric of Kitesurfing1770.com before and set up a lesson. Instead he contacted me that the wind had picked up (normally in winter there doesn’t seem to be enough wind) […]

I woke up in a sweat. Did we or didn’t we? We got sooooo close, but walking the camping in the morning the ear-to-ear smile on the Queenslander’s faces gives me the answer. It was no nightmare. The Blues really lost with 20-21. There are not many Australian sports (or non-Australian sports for that matter) […]

We had a slow start this morning, during the night it got so cold that the grass was still white when we let the dogs outside. They only wanted to go outside for a quick whizz and were back quickly. I got frozen fingers, nose and feet making breakfast and Marjo didn’t even let me […]

The day started early with another cold night and early visit from Nossi. We decided that three nights of Amamoor was enough and that we challenged luck long enough. During our stay there was no visit from the ranger and we saved ourselves the camping fee. After having seen the Muster fees, I’m sure they […]

Amamoor Camping Ground was a winner, a large site with grass, trees, bush and a creek. It was a bit strange though; on entry we saw many dilapidated buildings (I always wanted to use that word, you could of course also say buildings in disrepair or ruins in wording) and also the many tents but […]

It worked a treat! No getting up in the middle of the night and we had to wake Dotti up as we wanted to leave early. Marjo wanted to see Eumundi markets which are between 7am and 2 pm and just over 100 km away. In bus time with a GPS that makes life hard […]

Another night with four times a Dotti break, twice Marjo and twice me. If this is how it’s going to be with grand children then I’m not so sure. At least no rain! The sky is always blue in Queensland but now half covered with clouds. Not too bad. It was a cold night with […]
