Bundy bound – Childers to Bundaberg (60k)

May 10, 2011 / Dave & Nancy / 3 Comments

(written by Nancy) Surprisingly quiet night at the Sugar Bowl Caravan Park – I suspect because it was pretty cold! We were pretty chilly in our caravan so I imagine the folks in the wet tents were pretty cold as well. We had a TV in our caravan so stayed up until the very late … Continue reading Bundy bound – Childers to Bundaberg (60k)

100,000 miles to Childers (63k)

May 9, 2011 / Dave & Nancy / 7 Comments

(written by Dave) Today was one of those days on tour that we would normally not have much to write about. We were up early at Rod and Lisa’s, listening to the rain coming down outside. We had a chance to say goodbye to Rod before he left early for work, and then said goodbye … Continue reading 100,000 miles to Childers (63k)

Great day with the Ritchie’s in Maryborough

May 8, 2011May 8, 2011 / Dave & Nancy / 1 Comment

(Written by Dave) We had a great Mother’s Day today – missed our Mums of course but a great day all the same. The highlight of the day was picnic at Tuan with Lisa, Rod, William, Sarina, Grandmum and Granddad, plus 6 kids and 6 more adults from the family next door. We all piled into Toyota … Continue reading Great day with the Ritchie’s in Maryborough

Dolphin Day – Tin Can Bay to Maryborough (75k)

May 7, 2011 / Dave & Nancy / 3 Comments

(written by Nancy) It was actually a pretty quiet night in the onsite cabin and we both slept fairly well. We were up early this morning to make sure we were ready for the dolphin feeding. We ate breakfast in the cabin, packed up a bit and then headed down to the marina about 7:15. … Continue reading Dolphin Day – Tin Can Bay to Maryborough (75k)

Through the Noosa Hinterlands – Kin Kin to Tin Can Bay (79K)

May 6, 2011 / Dave & Nancy / 2 Comments

(written by Dave) Sorry about yesterday’s post being late. We had no mobile signal at Kin Kin – we posted at our lunch stop today after writing up our notes up last night. Great night at the oval, all quiet by 9PM and pretty much no noise from the pub – no repeat of the … Continue reading Through the Noosa Hinterlands – Kin Kin to Tin Can Bay (79K)

Back on the road – Noosa to Kin Kin (55K)

May 6, 2011 / Dave & Nancy / 1 Comment

(written by Nancy) We packed up most of our things last night in our room at the hostel so this morning it was a fairly easy departure after we ate the remaining food we had for breakfast. I think we each had four pieces of toast – had to use up the remaining bread as … Continue reading Back on the road – Noosa to Kin Kin (55K)

Mostly photos for the rest day in Noosa

May 4, 2011 / Dave & Nancy / 7 Comments

(written by Dave) Mostly just photos for today…. Keeping with tradition, we had a big brekkie this morning – eggs on toast with homemade salsa and bacon. We then walked through Noosa Heads National Park, spotting a koala and large green sea turtles. Later in the hostel, one of the other guests reported that “someone” … Continue reading Mostly photos for the rest day in Noosa

Life on the Road

May 3, 2011May 3, 2011 / Dave & Nancy / 8 Comments

(written by Nancy) We have now been on the road for just about a month – seems an appropriate time for an update on how we are adjusting to life on the road. We are slowly getting into a rhythm on the road. Sleeping in the tent is still a bit of a struggle for … Continue reading Life on the Road

Hidden hills on the backroads –Landsborough toNoosa (67k)

May 2, 2011 / Dave & Nancy / 3 Comments

(written by Nancy) Finally, a good night’s sleep – very quiet, only the occasional moo from the neighboring cow to lull us to sleep. We woke up to a pretty wet tent as a result of the condensation but no rain – blue sky and sunshine. The camp kitchen had a toaster so Dave finally … Continue reading Hidden hills on the backroads –Landsborough toNoosa (67k)

Into the ranges – Kilcoy to Landsborough (56k)

May 1, 2011May 1, 2011 / Dave & Nancy / 7 Comments

(written by Nancy) Well, I think last night would win the award for the worst camping night so far… The spot we had wasn’t bad and a couple more caravans pulled in so we were not alone. Unfortunately the folks at a house across the street from the park decided to have a very loud … Continue reading Into the ranges – Kilcoy to Landsborough (56k)
