The world’s largest sand island – what an amazing place! Time for us to put our 4 wheel drive to the test and see what our Ford Everest is capable of!
Next stop Hervey Bay. On the way we fed dolphins at Tin Can Bay. And using it as our base, we also spent a long weekend at Fraser Island.
We spent a wonderful 10 days in the Sunshine Coast enjoying beautiful beaches and a ginger factory.
I decided to combine these two towns because it rained the whole time we were in Toowoomba so I don’t have much to say about it… But, we really liked St. George!
Lightning Ridge – what a cool place! Where to even start? We certainly learned a lot about black opals…
The first month (and a bit) of our trip has been biblical. Not only is there a global pandemic, but we’ve experienced a locust plague, a mouse plague, frogs, and then floods…
We spent 2 weeks in Dubbo, our second spot. I had heard a lot about Dubbo over the years and that it was a great place to take the kids. I’ve been meaning to go for ages, so this was our chance!
On the first full day of our trip, we decided to do a nice, relaxing walk in the Blue Mountains. We drove to Katoomba and started by seeing the Three Sisters at Echo Point.
Finally, we finished all the stuff we needed to get done (see And We’re Off) and we left for Lithgow. We chose Lithgow because it seemed like a good central point between the Blue Mountains and some of the regional towns we wanted to visit.
