Hopefully I can post at least one photo once a week if not more, it depends on Wi-Fi service and how much data we can use. When we return home late September I will post more photos of the places we have been.
I hope you all can follow us as we travel. I will endeavor to visit your blogs.
This past week we travelled once again to Turners Beach on the North West Coast of Tasmania and stayed for 4 nights. We had the 4 wheel drive serviced, it's 10,000km one nearby.
Nearly a year has passed since my dear dad passed away, often visit the grave of my parents there, this time someone had stolen the flowers!! So it was into the city of Devonport to get some more artificial flowers and back to the cemetery to put them in place. For the life of me, I can't understand why someone would steal those flowers.
On the way to the 'Coast' as we call it, snow was on part of the Western Tiers, so we stopped to take this photo below.
A winter sunset at Turners Beach...lucky it had been a lovely sunny day, then evening.
Also at the same beach there is the Forth River, this photo looks to Bass Strait.
A short walk up the river, the photo of what's on the other side.
Margaret, I believe it is going to be a fantastic and long journey. In Poland it is also common that somebody stole flowers from graves. What a terrible custom.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it will be a lovely holiday and meeting new people..
DeleteLove the photos, and am looking forward to following your trip.
ReplyDeleteHate that someone felt the need to steal the flowers.
Thanks. I'm looking forward to seeing things i haven't seen in a long time. Always see things in a different light when travelling.
DeleteBeautiful photos, especially the sunset and the snow on the distant mountains. I hope you have a wonderful trip all around Australia in your new caravan. Bon voyage!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Hopefully in Broome on the western side of Australia i will get even better sunsets..
DeleteThat is a pretty adventurous trip planned.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing the photos of the Mildura area, (out of
personal curiosity), the Adelaide to Darwin sector with the
off shoot to Uluru.
I know that you will do a marvellous coverage doing yourself and
Australia proud for your overseas and stay at home viewers.
As for the despicable grave robbers - best I not let forth.
"Craven mongrels" will politely suffice.
Cheers

Another brisk sunny morning - cloudless sky.
You are so kind. I will do my best, it's give me purpose in the late evenings..

Beautiful photos Margaret. What an adventure you are about to undertake. To a European, it seems very exotic. I'd be panicked about the distance between petrol stations on those long remote stretches. I guess you have spare petrol containers with you for such trips?
ReplyDeleteThank you Craig. Petrol/diesel is available approx. every 150 to 200km even in the remotest areas where we are going. One always fills the vehicle up, always have water..both a must! We do take a drum of diesel just incase...

Looks like a great trip coming up, you are doing all the areas where I haven't been I will be looking forward to the photos.
ReplyDeleteMerle.......
Look forward to sharing what i see :)
DeleteWow, that second photo is breathtaking.
ReplyDeleteThanks. 3 night to get that shot :)
Deletegorgeous sunset photo!
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe the audacity of someone to steal flowers, real or otherwise, at a cemetery. SO wrong.
Thanks Gwen. It's hard to believe that someone stooped so low..
DeleteI am so going to love following your adventures! And what an adventure it will be.
ReplyDeleteLook forward to sharing with you...
DeleteLovely photos. The sunset is beautiful. Boy are you going to have fun on that long trip. Hope all goes well and you have fun. Sorry to hear about the flowers, disgusting.
ReplyDeleteWe will have fun with lots of photos...hope i dont wear another camera out :)
DeleteDon't make us track you down!
ReplyDeleteNo i won't, well i will try not to :)
DeleteHere in Spain , on this day , we began the summer.
ReplyDeleteI really like the colors of the sunset , you've captured.
Everywhere there are unscrupulous people , it is unfortunate , stealing flowers
Kisses
Thank you. Today here is the 1st day of winter...
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful trip you have planned I would love to do it myself
ReplyDeleteYou might oneday Jo-Anne
DeleteSuch gorgeous photos and I look forward to following along on your journey.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mildred...hope you enjoy what i say etc..
DeleteThat's a long time away from your own bed. I like the idea of caravan travel, but I think if faced with actually doing it, I'd be stir crazy in a month or less.
