I have been reading other Grey Nomads blogs with interested, and just realised, that after almost four years on the road, that I have never put up ours.
I don't have a website, I normally email it out to family and friends. So, here it is, our latest - enjoy.

Thanks for sharing your blog. I do read others and refer to them when planning trips, to get a more personal feeling of a place rather than just from pages on a book.
Thanks, keep them coming.

I hadn't read it when I wrote my first message, now have while having a Coffee. That must have been great although sad time laying out your mums ashes.
I had not heard of geocaching until recently. There's four big trees near our place the grandkids call their fort and I have to take them everytime they visit. During our last visit 2 maybe 12 yr old boys came along with their notes and gps on their phones and puzzled over this tree for ages. I asked what was going on and they filled me in. They found the cache, marked their names and hid it again. How fantastic for everyone to have something so interesting to do in the outdoors. My grandsons were rapt. I went home and googled it. I'm yet to get involved but it's fascinating !!

Thanks Marj, happy to share, just don't know why it took me so long, I have a virtual filing cabinet of blogs - they act as our diary.
Dianne, Geocaching is a lot of fun. We went into Warialda on Sunday and did a 4k nature trail. On that trail we found 14 caches, which bumped up our finds to 402! Not sure what you site you looked at but the American Site is the best: https://www.geocaching.com/ My grandies love it, and we took our nephews out in Darwin, and they are hooked on it as well now. Great outdoor thing to do with the kids or as Grey Nomads.

Great report Lorraine. It is a lovely area around where you are. Loved Cranky Rocks when I was there last year, a nice place to stay for a few days. Looks like you are having a great time and what a special time you had with your family spreading your Mum's ashes. Special memories for you all.
Happy Travels.
