Back to our old favourite Toowoon Bay, NSW

A holiday from holidaying

Absolutely delightful, absolute waterfront

Newbie has the best seat in the house

Last day of the year - Rylestone, central west NSW

Newbie is turning into a water dog

The local school used to use this water hole for their swimming carnival- see seating top right

Anubis among the bullrushes

We're sitting out the silly season in central west NSW.
There's a golf course over the fence for Roy.
A water hole to splash in for Newbie.
And a cute little country town a stroll away for me.
We don't lack much.

Bright Holiday Park, Alpine way, Victoria. Think we should keep it a secret!

A cold Sauv Blanc and a cool Alpine brook
Keep it to yourself
It's all like this
'Adventure has a new name' - Roy hums Indiana Jones every time we cross the park's suspension bridge to town  

The Silvery Nomad - dreaming in the shade
A suspension of disbelief in camping parks

It's so rare that we discover a park that ticks ALL the boxes for us.
Bright Holiday Park does.
It's a delight - idyllic, shady, quiet, with pleasant and helpful staff.
A pure Alpine stream winds through the park, graced by a charming suspension bridge - cross over and you're virtually in the middle of the village of Bright with its cafes, restaurants and shops.
 Bright Holiday Park goes right up there on our 'favourites' list.

Bright, Victorian Alps - Wow! Leura, Blue Mountains, look to your laurels!


Bubbling with enthusiasm for Bright Holiday Park
Amazing site, price and pet friendly - Blue Mountains, you've got tickets on yourself!

Enjoyed an anniversary dinner at a superb Thai Restaurant, a stroll from the campsite




Forget 'Underbelly' - Aussie town with a reputation built on crime

Notorious Ned Kelly held us up for a while

Glenrowan - crime capital? Also serves a great breakfast
