Please bring the rain with you as you pass Brissie.

I'm currently doing my spring garden clean up of all the dead plants.

Need lots of rain to get things going again.

Left Newcastle in April and have not seen rain since Taree in late April, what does it look like. Currently at Fitzroy Crossing

I was lucky enough to have gone through that area before the rains came.

I heard you were headed this way Molluscan so I had a word with the local rain dancer and asked him to take a break for a while. Some nice little towns up this way, including Kendall, so I'm glad you found a good spot and are enjoying your trip at last.

Day 2 and we are still at Kendall. Last night the rain stopped and the wind arrived! It was very blustery, even blew our door mat away. We hoped the van would stay upright at some stages through the night. still very windy for most of today so we were glad we stayed put. Calmer now so we plan to be off tomorrow, headed for Ballina.

It was lovely to hear from my 'friends', I have been reading your posts for some time now but it's nice that you are now writing to me.

Gary, thanks for your intervention with the rain gods, we are looking forward to be in your neck of the woods.

Even with the blustery winds we have enjoyed our stay at the Kendall Showground. Below are a few photos taken just now. There was a Pony Club on the Oval and the train line is just next door which kept Ron very excited as Billeeeeeee would say.

cheers Margaret

Sounds like you are enjoying your trip so far Margaret and that looks a nice spot to set up camp for a couple of days too. Make sure you pop into Byron Bay not far up from Ballina. Check out the Belongel Fields to set up camp for a couple of nights, on the main road just north of the town centre. One of my favourite haunts, don't expect any bells and whistles though cos there aren't any.
