Smoky days!
It baffles me how different the fire rules are between Victoria and NSW. Last night I was perplexed to see Victorian campers lighting a fire, whilst we all struggled to breathe from the heavy clouds of smoke hanging in the air, blown in from devastating bushfires burning out of control on the easy coast. Across the river in NSW a total fire van was in place, and my friendly neighbours jovially advised me that this is why the majority of holiday makers come to the ‘Victorian side’ to camp. Although I am more than 200 kms from bushfires, visibility is reduced to around 100mtrs at the Murray River border crossing, I am overwhelmed by a sense of fear at this unusually eerie landscape.
What has happened to common sense? Are these ‘city folk’ on there annual camping sabbatical completely ignorant of the impact a stray spark in these hot, dry, drought conditions might have? #bushfire #camping #travelblogger

‘Dancing Galahs’!! At the end of a 40 degree scorcher of a day in the outskirts of Melbourne, I caught these galahs celebrating a brief but welcome respite in the 60 second sprinkle of rain! It didn’t even dampen the balcony, but those few drips were priceless.

How much did this Million dollar view cost?? Zilch!!#ilovefreecamping This picturesque landscape has been home for the last 3 nights. After a mechanical issue with the van (all good now) meant I had to wait for a couple of days close to Goulburn, I headed off to ‘Gunning’. An easy 30 minute drive down the road. A few fellow travellers had recommended it and what an amazing surprise! Not only a beautiful free camp.... a fabulous coffee shop (thank you Merino Cafe for the decadent homemade Carrot cake) and an equally wonderful pub (best T-Bone Steak ever!) I also met the delightful, Joan. 80 years young and still pruning the main street roses “because she hates to see the town looking scruffy”. My camping neighbors, Deano, and his 3 dogs, the happiest homeless person I’ve ever met. And ‘Burra’, also homeless and living in his caravan. A loveable larrikin who was never short of a yarn, helped me set up my little makeshift tarp awning, taught me to tie a half hitch, kept watch over me, made sure I was always laughing and had a cup of tea in my hand!! #blessed #vanlife #vanlifediariesaustralia

18 years ago, I took my kids on a car trip up the coast of NSW. How do I remember this??? Well..... As you can imagine long car trips require many pit stops. We pulled into a random roadhouse at a little place in the highway called Coolongolook, for a play in the park. It’s normally a quiet, dusty, one horse kinda town - blink, and you miss it! But this day happened to be a special one.... they had just opened the underpass ( an underground tunnel to safely get people from one side of the road to the other) & the community were getting the locals to paint their hand prints on the wall as a memorial. Although we weren’t local, we were enthusiastically invited to paint our hands and leave our mark on the wall inside the walkway. Almost to the day, 18 years later, our graffiti handprints are still here!! So proud of my little family of graffiti artists, and such fun to take a walk through this little tunnel and a nostalgic trip down memory lane.

I left my hometown of Bellingen this morning, as fires continue to burn to the North, West and South. Thankfully the southbound Pacific highway has reopened after fires closed the road earlier in the week. My first official night on the road is Coopernook. Once an important centre of the timber industry, the township was established in the 1860’s. By the early 1900’s it was the main trading centre of the surrounding Moorland area. Today, with the new highway bypass, it is a quiet and peaceful town, with the pub proudly sitting on the edge of the river and only a couple of the original houses opposite the remnants of the old wharf remain. The smoky haze hanging in the air gives the historical #coopernookhotel a special glow! There is a wonderful grassy free camp area available for travellers inside the pub grounds, if you buy a beer or a meal at the pub! Perfect!!
