Well it has been too long since I brought this blog up to date. Since our Summer escape to the north coast of NSW we have not done a great deal of travelling. In March we had the existing solar panels and fridge rewired and an extra 125w panel installed on the roof and I must say all is now working as it should although the 3 x 120 ah batteries are nearing the end of their useful life and will need to be replaced before we head off as full time nomads.St Patricks day took us om a trip out to Judy's little farm ( Aileene's sister) and a chance to look at her new cattle and our first little heifer "Maggie" a sweet little Murray Grey cross that we hope will find BJ attractive and give us some edible grand calves.
We assisted Judy in replacing fences lost in the flood that devastated her river flats but pleased to know that thanks to some very kind civil workers and Government assistance the paddocks have been reconstructed albeit still awaiting grass to grow.

Easter took us away with our neighbours Ted and Pam. We visited Gordon Country which is a 4000 acre cattle property near Goomburra national park and camped with hundreds of other bush fanatics but enjoyed it immensely.Will definitely go back in the off peak season to enjoy the the lovely bush.

| Darlington Park |
This past weekend took us out to Darlington Park,( on the Kerry Rd south of Beaudessert) one of our favourite weekend escapes. We made some new friend with Milton and Kerry a lovely couple with similar aspirations of retirement travel and we hope to meet up with them again on the wallaby. .
It was a great weekend of camp fires , foraging for timber and plenty of chatter. Aileene was not a 100% with a crook back and a troublesome tummy but was much better by the trips end. Today the 16th May is our 41st wedding anniversary but after such a great week end we decided to celebrate at home with a good old baked dinner.
