On Monday we went on a lunch cruise on the Paddle Steamer Emmylou.  The weather was perfect, lots of winter sun with a few clouds to cool you down from time to time.  It was soooo relaxing.  The rhythmic slap … Continue reading →

Posted on 12 October 2010 by Marg

Cocaparra National Park & Corowa

Posted on 9 October 2010 by Marg

Cocaparra National Park was described by the explorer Oxley as a place not worth visiting, but we found it to be very enjoyable.  Red dirt roads into the park, so first we had to ring the NPWS to make sure … Continue reading →

Lake Cargelligo

Our trip from Bourke to Lake Cargelligo was, in Russ’s words, “unbelievable”.   We have never seen the surrounding bush so lush and healthy.  Our 5 hour trip was not the slightest bit boring.  Water beside the road most of the … Continue reading →

Tenterfield

Posted on 25 September 2010 by Marg

Arrived at 3pm after repairs at Ballina, only to find that the skylight is still leaking.  We are not returning to Ballina ever again, so a basin under the leak will have to suffice!  To say that it is wearing … Continue reading →

Posted on 20 September 2010 by Marg

Our more interesting trip is on hold, as rain has set in over the north east of NSW, apparently for a week.  We know why it is called the rainforest region.  It’s still mild, although not as warm as it … Continue reading →
