my travel stories & photos
We just finished our second week in Broome, since last post we had a few more “big city” things to do in Darwin like car services and an afternoon at the V8 Supercars. Which was great fun, with our GA tickets in hand we managed to sneak into the pit lane area – where everyone […]
MoreThursday last week marked 4 weeks of being on the road for us. We have covered a fair distance and seen lots. We started in Weipa spending our 1st night in Coen and then on to Cairns. Where we stayed for about 10 days using the time to cull some things we didn’t really need […]
MoreSomeone commented to me earlier today that I hadn’t written much lately 🙄. No excuses here, but to catch everyone up a bit, I had two lovely trips away in March & April. At the start of March I ventured down to Yamba in NSW, flying to Brisbane and then driving down to Yamba to […]
MoreLast week, I turned 40, and I knew I wanted to do something special for my birthday and I definitely did not want to be in Weipa. As I’ve mentioned before there is not that much to do here. I also wanted to spend time with my family. So a trip to the Gold Coast […]
MoreNow school has finished for the year, I finally have some spare time to continue writing about our USA trip – I hope I can remember. When we left Vegas we hired a car, we had paid for a small SUV but were lucky enough to get an upgrade, several people all arrived at the […]
MoreJoey and I have just returned home after a quick jaunt to America. It was Joey’s first time to the states and I made sure to share with him all my American favourites, including Denny’s , cheesecake factory and Walmart. We spent a few days in Sydney first visiting family and friends and celebrating our […]
MoreSo it was time for the Weipa Bullride again back in August. This year Joey and I arrived in the early afternoon so we could see the kids riding. It still makes me laugh that children as young as 5 are riding bulls. Just another way to show my city slicker side! I’ve been teaching […]
MoreBack in June, my Mum and Step Dad came to visit Joey and I in Weipa. We took them camping up to the tip. Mum wanted to tick the tip of Australia off her list and it didn’t take much convincing of Joey. We packed up our car and headed off on the familiar dirt […]
MoreA few weeks back it was the Weipa fishing competition. The Weipa fishing classic is held in early June, each year and 2018 was its 13th year. There is a big competition to catch different types of fish (obviously) that is held over two days. Each night over the weekend there is entertainment and on […]
MoreJoey & I have just returned from a fantastic week in Bali, celebrating a friends 50th Birthday. It was all a surprise for our friend Leesa, organised by her husband Andrew. Leesa actually gave us a lift to the airport on Thursday thinking we were going to Sydney, they left Weipa on Friday afternoon, Andrew […]
