Our Australia trip

The tricky thing with weather forecasts is that they can change, and of course it has. So we woke up with more rain. A look at the various weather predictions meant that almost everywhere in a radius of 300 km it would still be miserable today and then progressively better. So up towards Toowoomba. While […]

Going to bed with rain and waking up with more is no fun, even if the location is stunning (who cares about facilities). So we opened the iPad, inquired BOM (bureau of meteorology) and worked out that as long as we would go West the weather should improve. Now, 270 km more west, on the […]

What does one do on a day like this….. It all started out normally, Dotti not too harsh on our sleep and Axel actually surprised by breakfast in bed. And apart from a disgusting deed (about that later) he did nothing that deserves mentioning in this post. All the kudos are for Marjo. Not Nossi, […]

Today a sleep in, we were a bit annoyed when Dotti was ready to get out again and also Nossi was eager for food, but when we looked at the clock it was already 8.25 am. That’s late in camping speak. Generally we’re up at light and start yawning at dark. Then we fool around […]

Dotti was recovering. We thought. Well tonight she still needed to get out and of course it was a clear night and 4 degrees. That was measured in the bus, so imagine the temperature outside. Since she is tough as a nail and beautiful like no one I know, Marjo got the benefit of going […]

Wooyung has been our longest stop with 3 nights and today we decided that the Queensland school holiday crowd was too much for us to stay. We very much enjoyed the beach and the spot but the crowd at the beach this morning is something we just don’t enjoy any more. I mean four people […]

Marjo likes variation and she deserves it. Now before you get any thoughts, we are still on the subject of food here. If you’re planning to meet us somewhere and want to surprise her with breakfast you need to know the following. In the morning with breakfast she has generally two decent sized sandwiches. No […]

Great plans are only that….. The day started with Dotti not well. In the middle of the night she needed to get out, as most men I have a sixth sense that makes me deaf and blind at nights when children or pets demand help from adults. So Marjo took charge and helped the poor […]

Waking up I was nice and warm (smart girl with extra shawl under my blanky) Axel still feeling the remnants of his water escapade, was not warm at all, and tried to warm his hands on me! Well, I got breakfast in bed out of it. The morning sun was lovely, it was warming our […]

The next morning the sun was out, the temperature soon rose and the place looked much different. No rain. No screaming. No cold. We canvassed and found a nice spot to park the bus, not too far and close to the river. After several attempts I got the bus perfect only to realize that the […]
