Millicent


Millicent

We arrived at Millicent and decided to head for the Information Centre.  Here we met Carole who was very welcoming, helpful and chatty!  The centre had a beautiful display of artworks from jewellery to recycled artworks.  Outside was a sculpture to commemorate the contributions of the fire brigade to the Ash Wednesday fires as well as sculptures to remember car accident victims.

Bendemeer RV site alongside the river was a $5 donation for the privilege of camping as a self -contained unit.   We were amongst five other campers who drove in at varied times. It is fantastic to see fellow travelers respect the opportunity to camp overnight for up to 24hrs without having to book into a caravan park.   These campers all kept the sites clean and left only their footprints! We travelled the fog filled highway to Gunnedah today and all along the highway you could see the huge mass of clouds were sadly, not rain bearing for those who are so drought affected here.    This town is a very busy but vibrant community in an apparent valley surrounded by the Nandewar Ranges in the Liverpool Plains….no prizes for guessing where the first settlers came from! It is the koala capital of Australia and the adopted home of Dorothea MacKellar author of “My Country”…born in Sydney but spent a lot of her youth here on family owned properties. Breaker Morant a...

Byron

Family members had Byron Bay on their bucket list and I had always been near it but never visited. The scenery from the lighthouse was stunning, just as all the beach vistas we see in West Australia.   People were out there watching for whales passing by heading to the north.   There were people of all nationalities and ages mingling with the locals sightseeing and doing the fitness trails up the hill and along all the designated beach tracks, including Mums pushing the prams up the steep climb The shopping precinct was choc a block with young people from families to teens and up to say those in their 70’s out enjoying the nightlife, the bars, food venues and the ambience of the holiday area.   Shops were open in the evening, though not all, and prices ranged from budget prices for knick knacks to exorbitant for exclusive type clothing, jewellery and art works. To our delight the caravan park had bathroom facilities like those in Beacon WA with ensuites for indi...

Victor Harbor

We have spent our first ever night and day so far on the Fleurieu Peninsular in Victor Harbor and we have fallen in love with the place.   It is very similar to Albany in position, climate, beaches, feel and vibe without the ANZAC museum and mountain views of the ocean, but it is trendier, has heaps of businesses, tourism aspects and historical events re-enacted including the horse drawn tram, just as it occurred in the early settlement days, where you can purchase a ride to the granite island where there are lots of sculptures.   We have purchase tickets for the Cockle train to Goolwa tomorrow which does the return trip by steam!     The caravan park is quite large and no longer a Top Tourist park but we did not know til we arrived! We will travel around the peninsular on Monday and probably head to Mt Barker.
