We checked in at Oak Seaforth Resort at around 2pm. The holiday apartment we booked is fully self-contained with an ensuite and spa. The balcony is massive - just perfect for star gazing on a clear starry night. Although the apartment have a fully equipped kitchen, we ate out most of the time. I only cooked dinner once but managed to set off the smoke alarm at least four times and got the apartment filled with smoke. The smell of steak lingered in the air throughout the night and became too much on the nose (I guess I won’t be cooking steak for awhile). The lagoon at the resort was refreshingly enchanting. A lady was observing Ryan intently while wading around pool. She got really fond of Ryan just watching him venture and test his limits ... read more

Hi all, Well I've well and truly left the Molle behind and what a relief to say the least. Chilling out on The Sunshine Coast, visiting the parents and showing the coast to Marc & Dev from the Molle. Waiting on all my final documents to get to The UAE and for them to book me on a plane. Hopefully the next entry will be from over there with some photos of the palace to show you all. Lotsa luv and good cheer to all, Scott... read more

Hi all, just think you have another 5 months of these to read at least!! We arrived in Port Macquarie on the Monday after leaving Lynseys and found a nice site near to the town. Port Macquarie was very picturesque with obviously a harbour and great beaches and tons of quirky little shops. We didn’t arrive there until late afternoon so decided to eat out (for a change) and found a great Indian restaurant. On the Tuesday we headed to a Koala Sanctuary and pet a Koala whilst it tried to sleep. Then we went to the Kangaroo enclosure to harass and feed them. A lot of them had tiny Joey's which would poke their heads out every now and then to try and steal a feed, very cute! After this we decided to head to ... read more

Hello again from the Cannons! We have had a very nice relaxing last 10 days and are now on our last night of visiting before its back to the campervan and the harsh reality of our little hard bunks. We had a great time staying at Pat and Johns in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland and yes, I finally got to go to my Rodeo. Before that, we spent a couple of days just relaxing, picking fresh grapefruits, mandarins and carrots to eat and visiting the local post office (no door to door service here, its hop in the Ute and down to the personal little box at the Post Office - lucky I don't live here as I don't think they would cope with all my Ebay parcels) and then it was a drive around the ... read more

G'day. Well it couldn't last and for the last few days the weather has taken a bit of a turn for the worse. A few showers mixed with a bit of a cold wind. Nothing to really stop us enjoying ourselves (apart from abstinence from the pool and the sea.) Abstinence: now there's astrange word to find in our travel diary! Our days and weeks seem to be following a similar trend. Some sight-seeing, discovering the local eating and drinking places, using said places (sometimes to excess!!) and going for long walks. The highlight so far of our time here on the Sunshine Coast has to be Linda's birthday on Sunday. We hadn't arranged anything as we are having a barbie net weekend and we were unsure about the weather. As it turned out the weather ... read more
