DAY 362 Ok, so someday’s a day does not work out quite like you expect, and today is one of those days, remember Nick Leeson and the bringing about of the collapse of Barings Bank in 1995 losing £827 million speculating on futures, if you read on then you will find that we had a collapse of Bearings, fortunately it does not mean a prison sentence and we certainly did not lose quite so much, but lose it we did! The day started normally with Andy up and about earlier than me, I was fast asleep but eventually I could hear [View Full Entry]

DAY 361 I woke up my usual way after what can only be described as a poor nights sleep, I sat out side in the morning sun just watching the world go by and doing a bit of blog. It was 7.15 and Caroline hadn’t surfaced yet, there were Comedy Zzzzzzzzz still coming out of the door of the Wendy House. I don’t know if we are staying here another day or not we haven’t discussed it, I would like to push on again and probably hit Mckay. Caroline appeared from the trailer and we sat and discussed the issue of [View Full Entry]

DAY 360 We both slept well, the weekend events seem to have caught up with us, except that Andy was still out of bed in his usual early way, I looked at my watch, it was 6.30am and Andy was on Skype talking to the Truman family in Victoria, except that it is 7.30 in Victoria, they are now in Daylight Saving, which Queensland does not have. I stay in bed for that coveted extra half hour, as I knew as soon as I got up it would be busy, busy, busy packing up to head off. Sadly we leave [View Full Entry]

DAY 359 Kangaroojack is such social butterflie, again we had a lunch date with the fabulous Coleman family aka “The Coleman’s Down Under.” I was up early as usual and had my quiet time, having a cup of tea and looking at the blog stats, as I have already informed you they have been exceptional for the month of October and we can only put it down to the fact that we are a featured blogger and we have been front page for about month now, so we are both chuffed that our ramblings, though we just purely record what happens [View Full Entry]

Setting Up
Dinner on the Go
Chef Knows best

DAY 358 I awoke in the night and could hear someone’s TV, they are laughing too, a light is on in one of the apartments at the back of us, it is not so loud to disturb us but I am pretty sure that their neighbours cannot be too impressed, I get out of bed to go to the loo, it is 3.30amand can see a few sites up from us a man sitting outside with a light on using his computer, perhaps insomnia has got the better of him, or is he being kept awake by the noisy neighbour?

DAY 357 We got back to the trailer about 2.40 this morning, I was dog tired but ok, however Caroline was a bit worse for wear although she managed to direct me through Townsville and back to the campsite. I woke at 7.00am and got straight up and put the kettle on, Caroline stirred and I made her a cup of tea. I had drunk mine by the time her not so smiley face appeared and she sat down in the chair opposite me. We talked briefly about what an excellent night we had both had last night, then she said [View Full Entry]

Andy cooking our dinner
Looking Much Better!

DAY 356 After washing up the pots, pans and other kitchen utensils from last night, I said to Caroline I would do her poached eggs on toast if she so fancied them, as she has been off eggs since her Mt Surprise, “Egg Surprise”. She said she would give it a go so I would prefer her to have a good egg experience instead of staying off them for ever. We had soon rustled up poached eggs for the both of us and on buttered toast they were just excellent, Caroline said she enjoyed them so hopefully that is a [View Full Entry]

DAY 355 I woke up scratching this morning, I realised that Andy was already up and out of bed and a mosquito had obviously sneaked in and was having a feast on me! I felt completely worn out by my nights sleep, it was not a refreshing one at all, I felt as though I had slept heavily and partially disturbed by the rain, but I still got up at 7.00 and there was my usual cup of tea waiting for me. Andy was sat updating his CV and getting ready for his interview today, it was all I could do [View Full Entry]

DAY 354 No, it is not our last blog post, the title may mislead you into thinking that but it is relevant to something Andy had to do today which he was not happy about doing. We have not had many occasions when we didn’t enjoy the camping experience, but the Big 4 Woodlands, Townsville was just such a place. It would be difficult to put your pinkie on why we didn’t like it, but it was just you got that feeling that all the blocks just didn’t fit into place. Anyway we decided to move on today, oh the [View Full Entry]
