Gone are the flies - come has the rain. Here we are in the Snowies and for the first time in I don't know how long, it's actually raining and I am cold and wet. A few days ago we would have loved to feel this way but.......give me heat any day !!!! We are on our way to Eden to do a stint for Stuart with the Chillies down in Victoria for the famous chilli festival held annually outside Melbourne. So plans changed which is the way travelling should be. However we crossed the Nullabor in style after having a couple of last glorious swims in the blue blue ocean of WA in Fitzgerald NP and Esperance which are two of my many favourite spots. There are plants growing there unbeknown to me. S.A. has ... read more

The Ark

Well my first blog, lets see how I go. We had been looking around for a while at Camper trailers as they were in our price range and we thought this was an inexpensive way to see if we liked the lifestyle as we had tried the caravaning thing once before when our children were young teenagers, we all hated it! and never did it again. Our couple of our friends have bought themselves vans-one a camper van and one a pop top. We really wanted to go away with them on weekends but funds were limited and would even go for a tent setup since we were empty nesters now and only ourselves to worry about. We mentioned our plans to The Moths father and he mentioned a friend of theirs had a camper trailer ... read more

The Ark

I COULDN"T FIND THIS INITIAL BLOG, SO I REWROTE IT, BUT I HAVE NOW FOUND IT AND THOUGHT I MAY AS WELL PUBLISH IT AS WELL. Well here I go, my first travelblog: We had been looking at Camper trailers for a while as two of our friends had purchased a Camper Van and a Caravan to go away at weekends, we didn't have much to spend so were even prepared to do the full on tent camping, still young enough - well if we have a decent mattress! Anyway, Tonys parents mentioned a friend of theirs had a camper trailer for sale for a $1000, we were going to Canberra for a few days to work so went to Cootamundra to look at it the weekend before. What a bargain-it is old-well not as old ... read more

Our time in Coota really was amazing. I can’t quiet find the words to describe it all, parts were surreal, sometimes I felt like I was actually outside of my mind watching & enjoying seeing us both be normal & free again. I was scared it would fly by and it would all be over before I had a chance to appreciate it, time was so good to me though. Wherever I was it was like nothing else mattered and I was able to completely immerse myself in every moment. We flew into Melbourne Airport on Friday 17th September with Jetstar, and had a connecting flight with them straight to Sydney. On landing, we found out that the connecting flight had been cancelled and their option for us was to fly at night - didn’t sit ... read more
