We were sad to leave the great camping spot we had here at Bingara but with only a few days left this trip we had to move on. We were going to stop at Severn River, at the time the grass was long but it was being mowed, there was very little water in the … Continue reading Bonshaw Weir
Bingara
Now we are talking 🙂 but more on that later. As you come into town there are some lovely painted silos. We love it when town’s do this sort of thing. The people who paint these are very talented and it's amazing how they can paint such detail, be able to paint so close up … Continue reading Bingara
Tamworth to Manilla
We headed to the Info and Golden Guitar Centre, there were several vans parked there but they do not have destination RV parking which we thought was pretty poor. Tamworth does not seem to be RV friendly. There are a lot more shops and businesses in this area than when we use to live here. … Continue reading Tamworth to Manilla
Sheba Dams Nundle
From Bendemeer we called in at the Moonbi lookout, you can also camp here. From there we drove past our old house at Kootingal then on towards Nundle. Over the Easter Saturday and Sunday, the Nundle Go For Gold Festival was on, we had avoided coming here until today because we figured it would be … Continue reading Sheba Dams Nundle
Bendemeer Camping
After we left Yarrowyck we went into Uralla and had morning tea at a park. Then stopped at the old cemetery which is supposed to be the resting place of Thunderbolt. There were many other old graves dating back into the 1800’s. At the entrance there is a plaque listing all the graves who is … Continue reading Bendemeer Camping
Yarrowyck Crossing
It’s been a long time since we have been in this neck of the woods. We lived in Tamworth and Chris used to come up to Armidale for work. It will be nice to look at the place from a tourist perspective even if it’s only for the day. It was a little cool last … Continue reading Yarrowyck Crossing
Mother of Ducks Lagoon
We were on the road before 8am as we had a decent drive today and wanted to get to Guyra by lunch time so we could have time to explore the area. We have stopped for the night at Mother of Ducks Lagoon, which is right next to the golf course. This was once a … Continue reading Mother of Ducks Lagoon
Let’s Shake it Down
This is our first real trip in the new van so will be a good shake down trip. We are heading south to the New England area. The route we are taking just happens to follow most of The Fossickers Way. We had the van hooked up and ready to go as soon as Chris … Continue reading Let’s Shake it Down
Snowy River Caravan
Well it's finally here. Have to say near the end it was a little nerve racking wondering if they had got all our colours, changes and upgrades right. But very happy to say we had nothing to worry about 🙂 We are thrilled with our colour choices and the changes we made. The girls in the … Continue reading Snowy River Caravan
Our Quest
We always knew we would one day go back to a caravan we just weren’t expecting it to be so soon but circumstances late last year bought that time frame forward. At caravan and camping shows over the years we have always popped into a few caravans to see what the latest designs and innovations … Continue reading Our Quest
