Changing location, next stop… Tasmania!!!
We did another relocation yesterday. Left Sydney, and flew to Hobart, Tasmania. Our flight was later in the day. So we packed up our suite in CBD Sydney, and left our bags with the concierge, and headed out to wander again. We decided to spend our day at the Botanical gardens. Lovely way to spend…

And the Bells shall ring
It’s Sunday again! So we headed off to church this morning, you would assume we were going to the Cathedral, but no. we went to the oldest surviving church in Australia. St James King Street. An interesting history, it was originally supposed to be the court house, but in the middle, they changed it to…

Yesterday was another reset day. We turned in the RV, and moved into a lovely Suites Hotel in downtown Sydney for four nights. Laundry was done. Re-stocking of liquids and food. We were re-acquainted to big city living, and shopping in a mall, at Christmas, in a downtown core. Did we ever tell you how…

Blue Christmas
We travelled from Nundle and back to the big city of Sydney, well the suburbs anyway. Crossing from the great Dividing Range over to the Blue Mountains. As we left the plains, we again travelled the winding roads, coming to the Grey Gum Cafe. A resting place, and concert venue for the many motor-bikers who…

It’s not a picnic…
Today we had a busy day… as it often seems on a Sunday. We began our day with a quick breakfast and headed out for the short walk to the local church, for its 9 am service. Rick had done the research, and found the time on the towns website. Guess what? They were wrong.…

Saying goodbye, and saying hello
Today we continued our travels east, as our time in the RV is drawing to a close. We bid fairwell to Nambucca, and drove down to Port Macquarie. This is where my Aunt Pat lived for 30 or so years of her life, and where her ashes have been sent to sea, to join with…

Home… We did try to head into Gold Coast, with it’s communities called “Miami”, “surfers paradise”, “mermaid waters”, “palm Beach”, but it was not meant to be… the traffic was awful, and…
