How cute is this! We have been here nearly a week at Big Tom’s Beach, on the Murray River near Cobram, Victoria, and this gorgeous couple are the only koalas we’ve seen.

Mr R. hears the koalas calling in the distance several times a day and during the night, so there are more about. They sound like wild pigs!

The weather is great, though still a little too windy. Got the inverter going today and charged the laptops from the battery we use to run the fridge. I’ve only just started using my phone browser for outlook email, weather reports and AFL (football) headlines. I’m able to charge it by USB from a cigarette plug set in the side of the camper-trailer. No point me whining about how quick my battery winds down, as I never used the laptop much even when we had powered sites – which was all the time between here and our first week, when we camped at Edwards River (though we did have a few forced internet-free days at St Albans in the Blue Mountains).

We plan on going home next weekend.

Thanks for looking.

We’re on the final leg of this trip – spending the rest of the month at Tom’s Beach, Cobram, Victoria. I’ve only just remembered that I can email post to my blog!

Thanks for looking (hope the photo is up the right way).

As you probably know, I adore pelicans. This morning, after staying four nights, we left Diamond Waters Caravan Park, Dunbogan, New South Wales. This beaut caravan park has a boat ramp and a fish-cleaning table and the local pelicans seem to know the fishing habits of the local residents.

We’re now in Murrurundi, about an hours drive from Tamworth. Whilst we seem to have escaped the rain, so far, it’s very windy in the local lovely caravan park. The town is nestled in a gorgeous mountain setting. The only drawback in the park seems to be the noise from the New England Highway nearby, not to mention a railway line!

Looking forward to exploring the area tomorrow.

Thanks for looking.
