Atherton Tablelands

We were going to travel to Cooktown but changed our minds due to the prevailing weather conditions and the standard of the road. Instead we travelled through the Atherton tablelands and stayed at a former military camp in Tolga. This was the site of a 3000 bed hospital and a training facility...

Carpentaria

We have now arrived in Normanton after a very long drive on narrow, sometimes muddy, dirt roads. They seem especially narrow when you need to pull off the road to give way to Roadtrains. The kids were really patient with the long drive and we were relieved to arrive in Normanton and camp at...

Visiting ESRI Offices Canberra

Went to the ESRI Office in Manuka, met up with our old boss and he showed us around. Had some cake and a coffee. They were giving away free coffee mugs, those travel mugs that keep the coffee warm. They came in red and blue colours. I got two, one for myself and one for a fellow coworker...

The Great Barrier Reef

We spent a lovely three days in Cairns, we camped at a camping ground walking distance to the city. We walked all over the town and also rode our bikes, it is really a bike friendly city with plenty of bike paths. We went on a cruise to the a reef on the coast, part of the Great Barrier Reef...

Travelling North

Up early, you are getting an idea of the pattern now, and off to Townsville. We found out that Public Holidays mean that even the supermarkets are not open, so we could not replenish our supplies. We did find a bike shop open and we eventually convinced Glenn that he would not find a garage...

Alas we must leave Prarie

We reluctantly left Prarie and headed towards the coast, stopping at Charters Towers for the Sunday lunch. The original sunday lunch idea was mine and I had thought this was a great opportunity to get a 'meat and three veg' meal which we werent having while camping. Somehow the concept has...

Gary, Eddie and the Great Escape

After we got home from work on Friday (the day before we were due to move into the house share), Ollie called our landlord, Gary to see what time we should be moving in. “Hi, is that Gary?” “No, this is Eddie” “Oh, hi. My name’s Ollie. I’m supposed to be moving into Gary’s house share tomorrow”...

Great Place

We left Winton for Hughendon, this was a long drive with many unfenced paddocks which meant we had stock, kangoaroos, emus, wild pigs and dingos running across the road at various times, I tried to be vigilant to help Glenn. It was cautious driving but so spectacular to be seeing all this...
