We couldn’t check-into the hotel until 2pm, so we spent the morning in Warwick and then set off for Brisbane about 11am. The navigation of the city wasn’t as hard as I thought it was going to be. We are staying in an apartment in a small complex under Storey Bridge, just outside the CBD. It’s a two storey one bedroom apartment, which is kind of unique.  The Gabba was only a 20 minute walk, [...]

We started out by getting up bright and early, checking out of our overnight stay and heading to Dubbo’s Open Range Zoo. We hired a push bike each and headed out along the track, doing a full circuit of the whole place. It was a great time of day to do it because there weren’t many people around.

About 100km before Dubbo we did stop off at Parkes’ Radio Telescope, the setting for the movie ‘The Dish’. We took a few photos there and then continued on our way. There really isn’t much else to report from today. Tomorrow we will be spending [...]

Overnight there were [...]

Our first port of call will be the Victoria and NSW border towns of Echuca/Moama. My Grandma lives up there, so we will be staying with her for two nights. I will be showing Emmy all the places I used to visit [...]
