As we slow and meander through Porchester we see the meeting of the Secret Mens Club. I toot and Wallie waves. In New South Wales that is a driving offence – but who cares
Travel Diary
Around Oz the First Time – Chapter 10 – Winton to Corella Dam
This is an idyllic spot. Vans settled, Silver Leader suggests we need to deploy the yabby traps.
Here We Go Again – Chapter 9 – Hervey Bay Day 2
Sunset over Hervey Bay around a table of wine, cheese and bickies with friends is a bit hard to take.
Around Oz the First Time – Chapter 11 – One Week Down
Its dry out here – very dry. The dust is everywhere but that adds to the experience for now. We will see if it detracts as the trip goes on.
Here We Go Again – Chapter 10 – Hervey Bay Day 3 (Fraser Island)
Amazing creeks and coloured sands are experienced, as are the forays off the beach and into the bush to circumvent the need to drive into the ocean around rocky outcrops.
Around Oz the First Time – Chapter 12 – Corella Dam to Barkely Homestead
Just missed happy hour in the Barkley Roadhouse Bar but with the wind still howling, why get the barbeques out when a bar and grill is adjacent
Here We Go Again – Chapter 11 – Hervey Bay Day 4
Time to go home and dine. Not fish, but the fillet steaks we have in the fridge. Always good to have a back up plan.
Around Oz the First Time – Chapter 13 – Barkely Homestead to Renner Springs
The pub is adorned with caps and the walls and ceilings have lots of messages from past lodgers. I see one from a “Peter” and photograph it for sending to him.
Here We Go Again – Chapter 12 – Hervey Bay to Bundaberg
Now pleasantly plied with liquor, its off to the gift shop. The liqueur is the first on Robyn’s list along with some fudge.
Silver Schoolies No More – Chapter 8 – Onslow Day 2
I take time to giggle with the remaining contingent and we have a six degrees of separation moment.
Around Oz the First Time – Chapter 14 – Renner Springs to Mataranka
For a place which has so much history, it’s not easy to find. The Daly Waters Pub is a long way off the highway and adjacent to one of the many old, World War II airstrips in the area.
Here We Go Again – Chapter 13 – Bundaberg to Agnes Water
Forbsy allows a trip along Banks Drive to video the experience.
