Home Sweet Home

We have established a tent city here on the outskirts of Sydney.  Between scrounging off the hosts (does that make us parasites) and what we brought with us we're getting positively comfortable.



We will be picking and packing fruit for the next two months.  Getting excited about Martin (Meredith's brother) and Julie and the ferrets coming back from Argentina and starting to look forward and think about moving to Tamworth next year.

Apologies

A couple of apologies:

Postcards
We sent a bunch of about 30 postcards from a little place called Dululu, wesat of Gladstone.  So far of all the people we've caught up with, that we know of, none of the postcards sent from there have arrived.  This was two months ago.
So if you might have expected a postcard but haven't received one, we don't know where it is either.

Posts
Things are going to be a bit out of order from now on.  For a while there through the NT and SA we had very little coverage and very little charge and add car trouble etc and we just didn't get any posting done.  Over the next couple of weeks or couple of months we hope to catch up a bit.

Other Posts
A quick apology to the council for the bin Claire knocked over and the post she nearly rode into in Renmark.

Where Are We Now 2

Renata and David had a home turf advantage on the last one.  We were swimming in Brisbane in August.  What a crazy place.  (Although they say those crazy southerners)

A clue for everyone else, we are North of our last "Where are we now?"

Last night we stayed across the river from a major city and it was very beautiful to open the curtains and have such a lovely view.

I can hear the kids mucking around in the van, so I guess they are up now.

First one to guess where we are gets a(nother) postcard. Post your guesses in the comments below.

God Bless all,

Where Are We Now?

This one's a little out of date but we decided to have a competition.  This was taken on Friday 30 July 2010

First one to guess where we are gets a postcard.

Leave your guesses below.

Grumps, Gramps and Grampians

Had a great time at the Grampians with Max and Shirley.  Even got civilised, having showers and everything.  I must say the sticky date pudding that Shirley cooked was a nice aspect of being civilised.

Birds Of A Feather

(insert your own David Attenborough voiceover)

Here we have excellent specimens of two sub-species of the Nomad genus. The Grey Nomad (Gypsius Hirsutus) and the Shiny Nomad (Gypsius Chromedomeus). Notice the dilapidated van, the profusion of equipment, the Bunnings customisations. These nomads are known for their migratory preregrinations, their inclination to linger for days at a lovely spot and arrive completely unannounced at friends' and relatives' places. Characteristics that make these some of the most endearing and popular nomads nature lovers like to meet.

Gypsies and Other Scoundrels

Darren and Leanne have been for a visit on the way up from down there.

Lots of caravan talk, but the main verdict is:
