The Matilda

The Matilda

Saturday, July 17, 2010

Welcome to the Blog of T. & D.

We hope to bring you interesting bits of news as we experience life in a caravan around Oz. We have already taken our van, now known as ‘The Matilda’, on her maiden voyage to Echuca, Mildura and Wentworth, and home via Hay, West Wyalong, Crowther and Blayney. We spent two weeks ‘in the wilds of the Normad’ having a great time. In fact, we had a blast!

Our first ‘real’ foray into the world of the ‘Grey Nomad’ will commence on or about the July 20th for 6 weeks as we head off to Bourke via Peak Hill, visit the ‘Cunnamulla Fella’ in (obviously!) Cunnamulla, and on to Charleville. Longreach is next with a visit to the ‘Hall of Fame’ and the ‘Qantas Museum’ and then to visit the dinosaurs of Winton. If we survive all that, we then hope to head east to Rockhampton via Emerald, continue down the coast to Yamba, stopping to visit friends and relatives at various points along the way at Bundaberg, Noosa Heads, Buderim, Bribie Island, the Gold Coast (Arundel) and Pottsville. We plan to spend a few days in Yamba before heading west to try the hot springs at Moree and home via Gunnedah.

We would love to hear from you so please feel free to post your comments or questions on the Blog.
