Great trip Kennykoala, pity about the weather but at the moment you would have to go north of brisbane to get anything decent. At least you got to iron out the wrinkes and see how it all works. Just being out on the road would be magic anyhow.

We are at home again too. Weather is very cold at the moment, no rain but biting sth westerly winds. Brrrrrrrrr. Snow in the Blue Mountains, Lithgow to Bathurst!! Forecast doesn't look like improving for a few days, home with the combustion fire looking really good!!

Having a trip away and returning home safe and well has to be a bonus. Good to see you all back here again. Keep up the good work.

You should have stopped at the North Head Camp ground at Moruya Kenny. $10pn, no power though and PLENTY OF FISH off the breakwall. We just spent two weeks there

I struk that weather too Kenny. Not nice. However, highlighted a lot of things I could change. Such a having a wet dog inside. No, I won't leave her out. lol. Just a few extra doggie towels. Also I learned how to cope and amuse myself in a restricted space for long periods. Won't know myself when I can actually sit outside under the awning.
