And I should sleeping like Zeus… I think the best night time traveller aboard Roo Bin Esque is Zeus the salty sea dog. It appears to be his mission to keep a close eye on who ever is sleeping and he takes that role very seriously 🙂 It involves snuggling as close as he can Continue reading

Wangi Wangi Library
I spent a relaxing morning wandering around Lake Macquarie, tootling down narrow streets and investigating numerous inlets and bays. What a pretty area! It’s another ‘best kept secret’! The lovely librarians at Edgeworth had recommended lunch at the Wangi Wangi pub and Brenda Telford joined me there along with Anne from the Wangi Wangi library. Continue reading

Waurn Ponds – chilly outside, but warm inside!
I’m back on the road again! This time I’m in Victoria for a very quick visit. Thankfully Melbourne turned on the weather for me and I landed in 12 degrees and crystal clear blue skies. Gorgeous! Last night we headed to Waurn Ponds, half way between Geelong and Torquay. The drive down the highway was Continue reading

Great! It’s Keppel
Anyone else remember the best advertising campaign for an Australian resort island – Get Wrecked on Great Keppel? Sadly the resort is no longer operating, a salutory reminder that Australian tourism is not the driving force it used to be. 24 years ago, with my brand new private pilot licence, I landed on Great Keppel Continue reading
Navigating the narrow places
Looks can be deceiving. Beneath the calm waters of The Narrows lurk hidden rocks, shoals and bankings ready to snare the unwary. The channel runs up the western side of Curtis Island to the north of Gladstone and through to Port Alma near Rockhampton. With a strong wind warning outside it was our only option Continue reading
