The BIG Trip: Ingleburn-Mt Isa .....Book 1..... Joyce and Henk

I call this the ‘Round About Park’ cause the highway virtually goes 1/2 way around the area. It is still quite a good spot as the traffic isn’t that heavy and stops at night so you don’t hear the traffic!

I call this the ‘Round About Park’ cause the highway virtually goes 1/2 way around the area. It is still quite a good spot as the traffic isn’t that heavy and stops at night so you don’t hear the traffic!

We went into Traralgon on Saturday to get the Surface Pro with internet!!!! Yeah!!!! Now I’ll be able to finish off the ‘Flippin Classroom’ lessons that I was struggling with due to pathetic internet connection!



Oh My Goodness:

The ‘Cleaning Matie’!
When we arrived, this matie was wiping down the due off his new caravan.
However, after the rain, (because of the fires we had ash rain!) we decided to join the cleaning matie and wash ovan down as well.

The next morning He was out at 6.30 washing down his caravan. I thought it was a bit over the top until I looked at ours. The ash pieces were as big as a fingernail.
There was black burnt leaves all over the ground! Amazing that the clouds could carry it. fires would have been about 2 hours drive away.



Highlight:
Sale Historic boat trip
We went on a very informative (a little too much at times- Not good for Father, He wanted to ask questions and sprout his sh####, interrupting the old codgers flow!)
We say a possum hanging out of his burrow in the tree (It was 39 degrees) and fish jumping out of the water ( not enough oxygen in the water apparently) Just as well those pesky things couldn’t jump high enough to get inn the boats. We also stopped and watched the historic bridge open up. In the old days it took one person to do the ‘cranking’ Today it takes 2 and a ‘generator’!
