MEANDERING HOME.......

CHERYL, CAROLE & SUE

TUESDAY 4 - FRIDAY 7.11.2014: We are gradually making our way back to downtown Lemon Tree Passage. One more visit to make - Sue Pearsall is a friend and softball player from a time long ago when we were all young! Spent a couple of days catching up and resting. Big thank you to both Sue and Cheryl for their hospitality and great company.

THE FAREWELL PHOTO

Have to admit that our main travel tip from this outing is simple - after cleaning the motorhome and before departing check that all items are returned. Knives, hats and sunscreen just to name a few things, were left at home! Although not wealthy from the specking, fossicking and noodling we have as always loved our travels. The next scheduled trip is in January 2015 when we will be revisiting the Tamworth Music Festival - yeeha! Thank you to our blog followers, we hope you have again enjoyed the Leyland Sisters' misadventures. Have a great Christmas and a healthy and safe 2015.

RETURN TO URALLA

SATURDAY 1 - MONDAY 3.11.2014: Enjoyed our stay so much that we returned to Uralla Wooldridge Recreation & Fossicking Reserve. Madison and Shayden even went paddling in the water - more like Madison had a 'Pixie-Anne' moment and kept charging into the water. Neither surfaced the next day, little bit of a strain on the aging bodies! Carole again enjoyed her fossicking whilst Sybil (Nigel), and her new found friend Lizzy (lizard), communed with nature - very enjoyable and relaxing time. Question - how do you test a fossicker's reflexes, have a leech attach itself to the pan they are using! Certainly tested Carole's ability to react.

Met the equivalent of Eno the emu, but in the form of Mother Maggy. She has cleverly placed her nest high in the tree in the centre of the camping area. Each day she does the circuit of caravans requesting food for her screaming children.



TAMWORTH - POPULATION: 47,595

THURSDAY 30 - FRIDAY 31.10.2014: January 2015 will again see us visiting Tamworth and the Country Music Festival. Here is an idea, call into Tamworth before the crowds and pick up travel tickets. First issue, the Information Centre has been moved and none of the signs have been taken down. Found the Centre, but the travel bands would not be issued till next January, okay - is there any information we could collect, no! Exited Tamworth and headed to Bendemeer Rest Area ($5.00 Honesty Box).
