Pictures from each chapter of the book - Around Oz the First Time

I love to fish. The serenity, the competition between me and nature and the enjoyment of spending time with others, especially family and friends. Take the journey with me as I detail the trials and tribulations of intended encounters with “monsters of the deep”. Some successful, some…..

On the road again with the Silver Leader, his wife Rose and Forbsy. A slightly different plan this time, with much less time constraints but with plenty of other unexpected issues like Covid. Forbsy needs to head home early but will be with us as we head up the east coast. Thankfully we have Silver Leader with his administrative skills to work us through the over booked caravan parks and weather of indifference. In time we will part with them too but for now its three vans off again on an adventure around Australia

We spend time “living”. We spend time in our home bases. We spend time doing things in our local area without at times noticing the beauty that surrounds us. Aiming to “smell the roses” we take this chance to not just look but see the things right under our noses.

Umbilical cords are cut. We head out on our own facing the nomadic life of the Grey Nomad on our own. We have turned around heading back the way we came.

Covid has changed our plans yet again. We have an appointment we need to keep that Covid, we will not let affect. After that we have another trip in place BEFORE we get home some 10 months after we left.
