We were up early and after breakfast, said farewell to our friends and the other couple from Nagambie. Our intention was to arrive back in Sydney by mid afternoon and early enough to avoid the Sydney peak hour traffic. We stopped at Yass for morning tea and Pheasants Nest (near the Camden turn off) . . . → Read More: 18 November 2009 – Gundagai to Sydney Our path today took us across the mountains to Mt Beauty and then on to Albury where we stopped for lunch in a park adjacent to the Murray River. It was at this location we discovered that there was zero gas flow heading into the refrigerator. Reference to the Dometic user guide revealed that . . . → Read More: 17 November 2009 – Bright to Gundagai This was the last day of the Winnebago Christmas party and a time where we would once again bid friends farewell as we all headed our separate ways. For us it would be returning to Sydney with another couple (but taking our time) as “He” had to return to work on Thursday. The weekend . . . → Read More: 16 November 2009 – Nagambie Lakes to Bright We awoke to overcast skies and a relatively cool breeze. We were somewhat relieved as the heat since leaving Sydney was unnatural for this time of the year and whilst we like summer, it is supposed to start in December, not early November. Immediately following breakfast, “He” decided to have a play with the . . . → Read More: 15 November 2009 – Nagambie Lakes We awoke to a hot Saturday and shared breakfast with our fellow Winnebago RV Club members. Today we attended several motor home service related seminars and also took time to look at a trade show that had been setup on the site. Several Winnebago motor homes were displayed together with displays from suppliers including . . . → Read More: 14 November 2009 – Nagambie Lakes Vic We were due to arrive at Nagambie around noon so we decided that we had time to detour via the Brown Brothers Winery at Milawa and do a quick sample of the cellar door offerings. We purchased 6 bottles of a wine that we had not tried in the past and around 9.30am said . . . → Read More: 13 November 2009 – Beechworth to Nagambie Lakes Today we were heading into Victoria and to Beechworth, where we were to meet some friends who reside in Melbourne. We met L & T in South Australia during our first trip to the centre and we had kept in touch and met several times since. Our intention today was to have a quick . . . → Read More: 12 November 2009 – Albury to Beechworth Vic It seemed that we had waited an eternity for this day to arrive as it was to be the start of the longest trip that we had undertaken since February this year and the second trip since “Her” surgery in August. We had booked several months ago for the “Victorian” Winnebago Christmas Party intending . . . → Read More: 11 November 2009 – Sydney to Albury “He” turned on the ignition key and the starter motor turned over but Blue Snoopy would not start! How long was it since we had started the motor home? Actually the motor home had been started two weeks prior when it was repositioned in our driveway but the motor had operated for less than 60 . . . → Read More: Katoomba – 17 October 2009 Several weeks ago we made plans to meet some friends (who we met them through the Winnebago RV Club) at Rathmines NSW for a quiet weekend of free camping on the shores of Lake Macquarie, an easy 2 hour drive to the north of Sydney. This weekend would also be our first real “free . . . → Read More: Rathmines NSW – 8 August 2009 We mentioned in our Aberdeen post that after our return trip we intended to have a front wheel alignment. That has now been done and it feels like we are driving an entirely different vehicle. There is a message there and that is as soon as you fell anything strange through the front-end, have . . . → Read More: Jenolan Caves, Bathurst & Narrabeen – 1 Aug 2009 Our trip this weekend was under a cloud as “He” developed a good dose of the flu earlier in the week and it was not until Thursday that we agreed we would make the trip. We departed just after 7.30am on Friday and drove straight into Sydney’s peak hour nightmare. Under normal circumstances, it . . . → Read More: Aberdeen NSW – 3 July to 6 July 2009 Initial plans for this weekend saw us travelling up the NSW Coast to Port Stephens where we were to meet some friends who would be holidaying from Melbourne. Unfortunately, the severe weather conditions experienced on the eastern side of Australia over the past month saw our friends change their plans and they headed home early. . . . → Read More: The Entrance – 30 May 2009 As a result of working over part of the Easter weekend, a “day in lieu” was available so we decided to make a long weekend of it. Unfortunately we overlooked “Mother’s Day” so our long weekend would only be Friday and Saturday. For sometime now, “She” has wanted to have a security door added . . . → Read More: Blackheath – 8 May 2009 “Mouse Races” you say? This would be our second Winnebago RV Club outing and another opportunity to catch-up with some folks that we met at the Winnebago Christmas Party last December. Bylong is a very small rural community (pop about 60 persons) located midway between Mudgee and Muswellbrook just to the north west of . . . → Read More: Bylong Mouse Races – 27 to 31 March 2009 |
