Flailing Paddles

Our version of "Dueling Banjos".

During those months of being ill and the recovery period that followed, I craved to be well enough to have long walks in nature, enjoy bike rides and to kayak down rivers. I pictured myself as a bit of a "Solo" Woman, the great outdoorsy type. Just realised today, I'm actually doing it and it's making me extremely happy. I don't quite match the picture I had in my head but the reality is better. A relaxed lifestyle with time for all the things I love doing. Here's a peek at our time along the Murrumbidgee River with our "Flailing Paddles", the name given to our kayak. It's our version of "Dueling Banjos".

Been on the road since 10.11.2010. We still call Newcastle (NSW) home as that's where most of our family and friends are. In reality home is our Opalite caravan 24ft, and our Ford Ranger (hence the name Lonie Rangers). Our car is the Silver Bullet from the Lone Ranger, put this together with Dave's surname being Lonie, and there our title was created. I'd say we travel at a snails pace, there is no rush, we have the rest of our lives. However, going slow allows us to experience each place and move when we're ready for the next adventure. We do a fair bit of independent camping in the bus... full info

Red Gum

This beautiful tree will go next flood for sure.

Exposed Roots

Interesting angle from the water.

Towards the Wharf

The remants of the old Paddle Steamer wharf are on the left.

Dodging

We had to steer around heaps of fallen branches. Going upstream was quite easy but going back down felt like I was at Luna Park in the River Boat Cave. Great fun relaxing and watching the view.
