Time is certainly flying by! With Christmas and the school holidays well and truely behind us, it’s time to recap on what we’ve been up to since my last blog entry. When we left Dorothy’s house at Palm Beach we headed to Jo’s for about 10 days. As our van was already in storage and it would be in again for our Housesit, Jo suggested we leave it where it was and stay with them for a while. As usual we had fun with the kids and helped around the house wit...

We’re on the road again. It’s been a while since we’ve had that feeling of freedom in our van and enjoying the rambling lifestyle. Boy, we’ve missed it. We left Tweed Heads on 15/12 and headed down to Boorowa to see Emma, Graham and the kids.

The last entry saw us heading towards Emma and Graham’s where we spent time catching up and helping them plan their holiday. We share...

After leaving Tibooburra, we detoured to check out the little town of Milparinka with only a population of 12 people. Where there used to be four hotels back in the day there’s now one and this is the only business operating in the town. We spent a while wandering around the old buildings and checking out the museum telling of the Gold Rush history in the area and we also chatted with the volunteers at the visitors centre. They are travellers like ourselves who...
