Blue Lagoon Beach - and our new heated pool & spa

Just a hop...

...skip...

...and a jump.. to the beach

And our new heated pool and spa complex without the upkeep!

Blue Mountains have something that will keep bringing us back

It was good to catch up with friends and Roy enjoyed a game of golf with friend Les Coyne at Roy's former golf club, Wentworth Falls.
We also had a very enjoyable dinner with friends at our favourite local restaurant, Pins on Megalong.
The Blue Mountains have something that will keep on bringing us back. It's where we first fell in love with camping when our children were very young.

Back at the Three Sisters... and then there were two of us...

Back in our old haunt of the Blue Mountains to catch up with friends

One less of us... farewell Seti, you were an absolute button!

Our story to be in 'Caravan & Motorhome On Tour' (MAY)

This is the mag - our story should be out in May.

I've been contacted by the 'Caravan & Motorhome On Tour' team, who have enjoyed the blog, and asked us to tell our story for a 'From the Road' feature.
Should be fun.
More, later.

Reflections of a moon and star struck town

The Dish - and moon landing memories

One dish I wouldn't want to wash

Standing in front of it makes you feel in touch with the cosmos

The Dish from afar like a rising moon

Parkes NSW is quite a star and moonstruck country town.

The pivital role of The Dish in the moon landing is celebrated everywhere (there's even a motel down the road called 'Moonraker Motel') and there is a
a star-struck devotion to Elvis in signage everywhere, including a building called 'Gracelands'.

Gracelands - in Elvis-struck Parkes

Something a bit bizarre and X-Files about it all. Perhaps that's why Roy enjoyed it so much.

Lake Lyall, near Lithgow NSW

Roy contemplating new ideas after publishing yet another novel - Kindle and paperback (Amazon)

Lakeside camp

Lake Lyall, NSW, just outside of Lithgow.

It's actually the closest dog-friendly park to our old haunts in Leura and Katoomba.

Next stop, the Dish, Parkes, hoping to coincide with man's first contact with ETs.  

If we'd gone last weekend we might have experienced mysterious, multiple sighting of Elvis at the Elvis festival!

Driving through the day and night - on our way back to NSW

Headed back to NSW, with just a few free-camping breaks on the way

To cut a long journey short, we spent some more time in Victoria, in Macedon Ranges and were on our way to Echuca and Swan Hill, when Roy took ill mid journey.


We stopped at Bendigo for medical tests and decided he could be treated more quickly in NSW.


All well now - just a microbe infection - and now we're staying in Dural till the New Year.

An unexpected change to our plans but we don't really want to be on the road during the major holiday period.
