Urulla Fossicking Area

We both decided that we had seen the mid north NSW coast too many times and not the hinterland.

In the Camping-with-dogs guide there was a nice camping presented near Uralla, with gold and gemstone […]

Delicate Nobby

Waking up to….well nothing really. Because we felt like it. The dogs slept like roses, Nossi in front of the passenger seat, where he also travels and Dotti between the seats. Marjo and I on the king size bed in the back. In the background the noise of the highway….or….no….the ocean of course. I get […]

First night

Quit my job

Today Axel’s first official unemployment day. A strange but happy feeling. Still a sense of having to accomplish something, so after making breakfast (Marjo toast, the dogs Nos and Dotti dry food wetted with fish and Axel muesli), with the bus and Nos to the mechanic for a checkup. Nos and Axel walked back home […]
