Grabben what you ask? Grabben Gullen, or Grabby if you are a local, is located roughly WNW of Goulburn NSW (about 61k’s by road) with access via either Gunning . . . → Read More: 20 – 22 January 2012 – Grabben Gullen NSW For the past two years we have escaped Sydney and spent the weekend prior to Christmas at Kiama at the East’s Caravan Park. With a decision made not to attend either of the Winnebago Christmas parties (we went to the last two at Nagambie in Victoria due to commitments on the weekends that the . . . → Read More: 9 – 12 December 2011 – Kiama NSW Earlier this year we joined a CMCA chapter called the Hilltops Rangers when we attended a gathering at Robertson in the NSW Southern Highlands. Most of the chapter members reside in south western NSW and with the majority of their gatherings in that general direction, it has been difficult for us to join them . . . → Read More: 25 – 26 November 2011 – Binalong NSW Our long term plan is to use the motor home at least once a month so six weeks after returning from our trip to North Queensland, it was time to spend a weekend away. Since returning from the north, weekends have been fully occupied and when we decided to overnight somewhere on Saturday, 24th . . . → Read More: 24 – 25 September 2011 – Blackheath NSW We were invited by friends to attend a weekend meeting of a CMCA Chapter called the “Hilltops Rangers”. The meeting was held in the showgrounds of the sleepy NSW Southern Highlands township of Robertson. We decided to leave on Friday afternoon so we meet our friend for dinner. Initially we planned to take our . . . → Read More: 20 to 22 May 2011 – Robertson NSW We have been busy and “She” has not been well (Edit – all better now), hence the time taken to post this blog. This weekend was conceived by some friends during the NSW Winnebago NSW Christmas party that unfortunately, we were not able to attend. However, an invitation was extended to us to attend . . . → Read More: 11th to 13th February 2011 – Richmond NSW Friday – 17 December 2010 Twelve months ago we decided we would have the weekend prior to Christmas away and were fortunate at that time to secure a site at the Easts Beach Caravan Park near Kiama. Almost twelve months to the day later we were presented with an identical set of circumstances and . . . → Read More: 17 to 19 December 2010 – Kiama NSW For us this was a long weekend with “He”” entitled to have Monday off work due to the NSW Bank Holiday. We had planned to travel to Mittagong in June this year but never made it due to both of us being ill. Fortunately the owners of the Mittagong Caravan Park were prepared to . . . → Read More: Southern Highlands & Narrabeen NSW – 31 July to 2 Aug 2010 Twelve months ago (July 2009) and for the first time, we made the trip to Aberdeen for the Highland Games and in spite of “He” being sick with the flu, we both enjoyed the weekend so much that “He” applied for annual leave immediately upon our return to Sydney to allow us to attend . . . → Read More: Aberdeen NSW – 2 July to 5 July 2010 The trip to Canberra had been planned for a couple of months and was to coincide with a wool event that was to be held on the Sunday at the Old Bus Depot Markets in the Canberra suburb of Kingston. Blue Snoopy would provide accommodation for “He” and “She”, our Son, Daughter-in-Law (the Kids) . . . → Read More: Canberra – 21 to 24 May 2010 The weather reports earlier in the week for the weekend included the word “rain” but we awoke to a bright sunny Saturday and a revised forecast of 25c at the coast and 29c inland. Our destination for the weekend was Burrill Lake which is just to the south of Ulladulla on the NSW South . . . → Read More: Burrill Lake – 10 to 11 April 2010 In March 2009 we travelled to Bylong NSW for our second outing with the Winnebago RV Club to attend the 21st Annual Bylong Mouse Races. Whilst one would question the sanity in watching mice race, this event is one of the “unique” novelty events on the Australian calendar and definitely a “must do”! It . . . → Read More: Bylong Mouse Races – 25 to 29 March 2010 How circumstances can change. You plan trips around work, apologise for not attending family events and then you don’t have to work. We have often considered a visit to the beach during January but had dismissed the idea due to a belief that holiday makers would ensure that there were no vacancies in the . . . → Read More: Narrabeen – 23 to 25 January 2010 As we have previously recorded, as a result of “She” having surgery in August, Blue Snoopy has not been used anywhere the amount that we would have liked during the past five months. Considering that the cost of registration and insurance exceeds $2,000 annually, it is no good having a motor home sitting in . . . → Read More: Kiama – 18 December 2009 |
