 Valkie hi.

Sounds like a busy day from one end of NSW to the other, that is the whole of NSW is it not?

Wait to you retire and can get a all day ticket to ride on NSW transport for $2.50. Best deal ever.

We grew up on the Coast, Wife at Wyoming and I at The Entrance moved north sometime back and we wanted to spend time in Sydney.

In 5 days left car and caravan near Newcastle trained to Sydney central, into a rented unit then played on trains, light rail and ferries with an odd bus ride and then on day 5 back to Awaba all at $2.50 a day, awesome way to see around Sydney town and travel on the ferries to see the beautiful habour. Of cause Manly for fish and chips on the Prome.

We live in Brisbane not as cheap but with changes coming in, it will be free travel between certain times of the day, very user friendly. 

Enjoyed a few good meals at the Wyong RSL , Gorokan Club and Killarney Sports Club.

 

Yep, our grandson had his 4th birthday this year

And here I am sitting at home considering turning on the air con

Parked up, at a daughter house, north of Adelaide

Not hot, and not cold, at the moment

At Mt Ive Station in the Gawler Ranges, near Lake Gairdner. Working on the property for the lead up to the Dry Lake Racing on the salt lake. Today we heard, due to the corona virus, the races would be postponed..... Buggar, on our bucket list for the past 8 years.

 

So, now, wondering what we will do next. A geocaching event at Easter is bound to be cancelled as well!

 Hi dunmowin, thats sad But expected I guess. Well our housit just cancelled. Again expected. Oh well, both of us will now be pondering our next move.

---

 Yes, pondering. However at least we feel ,"self isolated " out here.

In self exile out on The Darling Downs, as each week passes we will go a little further North West.

We are comfortable, weather is good.

NT Chief Minister just put an end to our Ghan Expedition journey when he closed the borders and requires everyone to self quarantine for 14 days

 Hi Rocket.

Amazing how things change, first couple of nights paid by cash, then after lunch I grabbed another envelope from the box, previous no was 97 and this one is the following one 98. There has been a noticeable increase of traffic into the showground, As cash is a bit short, I decided to pay down at the council office in main street. The man down there was sort of doing the job like a new comer at it and I questioned him, was he new on the job, his reply was "no don't do that many camping fees". Once again not many paying or they have a secrete way of doing it.

But now our peace  has broken, the new tenant just behind us has a dog that barks, the gent over there shares his tv volume and the new arrival next door can not string a sentence together without using the f word at top of his voice. If there was no trees between us you could park a semi trailer there, we are not living on there door step. Maybe I need a holiday.

 Hi Rocket.

I feel a lot more civilized today, if fact civilized, a real good night sleep, woke to a beautiful sunrise, a cuppa in bed to start the day.

Yesterday was far better, sound of the tv was much lower, the dog only barked a couple of times and the other neighbour went out for most of the day, just perfect.

Today is going to be a little challenging as we need a few items from the food store, mostly luxuries, like beetroot to have on our hamburgers for dinner tonight, bread to make a sandwich.

I am probably luckier then most we have a choice, keep on enjoying staying out in the dry Darling Downs or go home to hot, humid Brisbane. Choices we need to make.

 Perhaps your fellow travellers are Forum members who read your post & then modified their behaviour. LOL

 

SWMBO makes the best hamburgers, especially since I started to make our own meat patties.  Of course toasting the flat buns & adding beetroot is a must.  Just doesn't make the grade without it.

BTW we had to forgo sour cream on our Chilli Cone Cane last night as we didn't have it on last week's shopping list & I declined to go to the shops for just one item.  CCC just not the same without sour cream. Just like burgers without beetroot.

Pleasant weather here in Brissy, feels about 23 & like yesterday the brilliant blue has been replaced with an overcast sky.

But I'd still rather be where you are.

G'Day Radar . I was prepared to Caretake a property for the president of the RFDS whilst they were away sheering in Victoria . But that all got cancelled . I was still going there , but the advice given to the flying doctor was for everyone to stay home , as the Virus will be rampent in the next week . Van at the moment is not equipped with enough solar power to go independent . But could easily fix that if I fell like it . Being a sparky by trade .
