After a few more days in Brisbane to see my Mum and some more family (there are a lot of us!) we headed back out in the direction we came in, which was the Scenic Rim. Tim had found a place further south that had bush camping and lots of hiking/4×4 trails so we thoughtContinue reading “Scenic Rim Adventure Park”

Carbean Farm Stay at Cement Mills
Well our time in the Scenic Rim had to eventually come to an end and even though we will definitely be coming back for another visit we packed up and headed west. On our way we passed by a butcher we had enjoyed from our time at Moogerah lake and picked up some tasty baconContinue reading “Carbean Farm Stay at Cement Mills”
Stanthorpe
We had picked Stanthorpe as our Christmas destination due to the fact we had been there before a few years ago and knew there were some lovely restaurants and vineyards in the area. Last time we were here the town were unfortunately going through a horrific drought where they were going to run out ofContinue reading “Stanthorpe”
Texas
After spending such a long time in Stanthorpe is was quite a nice feeling to get back on the road again. I should mention that our plans at this time have been mostly affected by Covid and the border closures that come with it. In fact not necessarily the border closures and restrictions themselves butContinue reading “Texas”
Pindari Dam
The day had come – we were finally doing it and crossing the border into NSW. For so long it had been closed due to COVID and I must admit even though the government had given assurances that we would never go back to that, a little bit of trepidation creeped in when crossing atContinue reading “Pindari Dam”
Inverell
We had certainly had a great run of remote off grid campsites in fact we hadn’t plugged the camper into power for a couple of months but at Inverell we fancied playing a bit of golf and doing some mountain biking and so picked a campsite just outside the town centre as our base. ItContinue reading “Inverell”
Armidale
We needed our car serviced and after a few attempts to get this sorted at Stanthorpe and Inverell and realising we would have to book ahead, we decided on Armidale. We had also already visited Armidale a few years ago and knew the town itself was lovely, there was a decent caravan park in townContinue reading “Armidale”
Uralla
On our way towards Tamworth we stopped at Uralla just 20km down the road as we had read that we could camp on the local golf course there and when we arrived we found that there were indeed four campsites all empty right by the 18th hole. We decided to stay the night and enjoyContinue reading “Uralla”
Tamworth
After the shortest of stops in Uralla we descended another 600m in altitude to Tamworth. Sarah was taking antihistamine for her bite on her ankle which has caused her ankle to swell up to a fair size so our plan on arrival was just to set up camp and relax for a couple of days.Continue reading “Tamworth”
Lake Keepit
While we were out mountain biking in Tamworth, we met a local lady who told us the tracks in Gunnedah were equally as good if not better and we hadn’t really decided on our next destination so thought it would be as good as any. We had also been recommended by someone along the wayContinue reading “Lake Keepit”
