Off we go to Melbourne, the Great Ocean Road, Kangaroo Island, Adelaide, the Barossa Valley, Broken Hill and across the top of NSW via Cobar and Moree to the Sunshine Coast of Queensland. From two weeks in our favourite resort there, we work our way down the coast, staying in places such as Kingscliff, Clunes, Coffs Harbour and Port Macquarie to visit lovely family and friends before landing in Newcastle for a few days to see more loved ones, including my wonderful mother.

This trip is for Jon and me– tailor made for us, by us, starting 4 days after Jon’s 60th birthday. We will no doubt miss ‘Rockview’, our friends in Cooma and especially our darlings, Charlie and Jeni, but we are more than ready to hit the road and get outta town!

Home again

Ending our trip happened in two stages - first was a few days in Newcastle spending time with mum and catching up with my sisters as well as my other sisters, the SAGs. (St Anne Girls' School buddies for those unfamiliar with our name.)  - Warm, nourishing times that only happen with close family and friends.



Next was coming home to 'Rockview' and to Jeni - hard to describe the feeling, but it was certainly lovely and easy and fun. She is wonderful company and has been managing extremely well without us- nor surprise there.


The further we drove south, the colder it got, until just before Numeralla the temperature read 6 degrees. An almost full moon appeared at about 4pm...and we knew we were home!





Already some of our memories of the trip are fading - thank God for blogs I say - but we have had a fabulous time and feel lucky that we can continue to have a fabulous time here at home and in our hometown.

Until next time xoxo
