nearly to the 'end of the line'

well after leaving Mudgee it was an overnight stop at Gerry's Plains where we took advantage of a 'rest area' and spent a pleasant night with some kangaroos and wallabies close by, even though we were in the village itself.
Our next destination was Fullerton Cove near Williamtown where we spent a couple of nights camped out in the grounds of our good friends Betty and John.  Betty and I went to school together and John and Lawrie both worked on the railway back before we married.  That was where Betty and John met so we need to keep touch with them to make sure that old 'match up' is still going strong.
Love you both.

Heading back north we are presently in residence at Hallidays Point van park, great place to stay, near Foster / Tuncurry in NSW.  Our daughter Deanne and family recently moved to Diamond Beach just 5mins away so we are having some fun times with our granddaughter Lily.  Now 5 and starting school next year she is really growing up but still the same ball of energy.  All though during a walk to the local shop yesterday she informed me on the return that she was 'running out of energy and would need a drink to replace it'.  Of course the wish had been that we would turn around and return to the shop for a drink but being the hard hearted 'grammy' that I am we completed the trip back to the fruit juice in the van.  A swim in the pool and playing soccer with grandpop soon brought the smiles back.

first the sunscreen....even on the toes!

well water is always fun

even 'poppy' enjoyed the jumping pillow

 

We leave here tomorrow and will take just a couple of days to return home to Brissie, and then settle back into surburban life for a couple of months during the 'silly season'.  The van park folk told us they have 84 check in's here on Boxing Day.  They can all have it to them selves.

We have been away just over half the year during 2012 and 2013 doesn't look as if it will be any different.  Oh well....if not.....why not!!
