Heading north for some sunshine

Well since my last post we have moved into Queensland quickly, we got fed up with the weather so we have decided to come back to the NSW coast in the summer .

We are not planning too far ahead, just trying to follow the sunshine, had a lovely time with some friends at lake St. Claire but the group went home early because of the weather.

Thought you might like to see the sun rising over the sea, as we don't get to see this in the west, got up early to get the sun rise. We normally dont appear till about 7.30 / 8.00 and have been known to sleep a little later. It sure beats getting up at 5am to go to work. I recommend it to everyone, as the saying goes

 LIFE IS FOR LIVING.

NELSON BAY NSW.

Here we are at the end of our house sit, we have had some nice weather over the Easter break but today Anzac Day it has been pouring with rain all morning.

Its a lovely area, the view from the lookout was spectular and worth the effort to walk to the top, the views could be anywhere in the Med.

We leave here on Sunday morning heading for a camp at Lake St. Clair, meeting up with kevin and Lesley friends that we have met at Mystery bay.

Today is Anzac Day, it would be wrong of me not to mention it.

LEST WE FORGET

NSW travelling north

Not sure if anyone is actually looking at this blog but maybe its my fault for not doing it very often and sometimes I can use the excuse that we need power which we don't always have.
We have just moved into our house sit here in Medowie which is just north of Newcastle very close to Nelson bay and Port Stephens, it is a lovely area and i think we are very lucky to here for the Easter break although the weather has not been very kind to us.
We spent 10 days just south of Sydney on the coast, it was a great spot right on the water and we could catch the train into Sydney for the grand sum of $2.50 for the day. Then we moved onto the Blue mountains, didnt take the caravan up the mountains but got some lovely pictures, had a ride on the steepest train in the world and on the cable car. The scenery is spectular up here, you can see why it is so popular with the tourists.
Can't believe we have been away for 6 mths, it has gone so fast, there is so much to see, on the East coast you only need to travel a short distabce between places not like in the west.

Greek Easter this weekend, looks like we have a church to go to for midnight mass and then lamb for sunday lunch, this is when we miss our friends and family. Easter was always celebrated at our house with all the family and some friends, it will a quiet one this year

Happy Easter to all our family and friends

NSW Coast.

Since I last put anything on this post we have travelled up the east coast not doing many kilometers inbetween various different camping grounds.

We are taking our time, visited the capital for the day and seen lots of lovely places.

I like this area, it is very green with lots of hills and a few mountains, the beaches are very long and sandy, the water is very clean but still a little cold for swimming but ok for the big toe test. 

We have met some lovely people over happy hours by the fire and we both like having a fire.

The pictures below are a very small selection of the thousands of photos that Andreas has taken, you see the sun rising over the ocean which we don't get to see in the west, the photo of the bride was taken as we watch this bride rolling around on the beach then on the rocks (whatever makes you happy) and the final two photos are from kangaroo valley which we visited today.

Latest instalment.

Well here we are in a lovely camp just before the border of NSW at the settlement of

Genoa. Think we have done most of the coast of victoria east of Melbourne, all along the Mornington penisular, Phillip island, Wilson's prom and Lakes entrance and all the places inbetween since our house sitting job in Melbourne.
We are now heading into NSW going along the coast slowly for the next month till we can get off the road for Easter, not a good idea to be around when its school holidays so I have sorted out another house sit. This one is just north of newcastle in a town called Medowie which is very close to the sea so Andreas will be very happy and its only for 2 weeks.
There are some lovely places in this area, we had a good free camp in a place called Paradise Beach and Andreas was catching fish so that was a bonus. The weather has not been to bad not like the heat that Perth has been getting.
 Not many free camps in Victoria, its much more sociable than in the caravan parks but hopefully we will find more in NSW, we will see.

ANIMALS WE HAVE SEEN IN VICTORIA.
