Hello all.
Just a couple of hours ago we arrived back in Bairnsdale and have set up once again on Justin and Lee's front lawn. They are not here at the moment but we expect them home shortly. They are not expecting us to be here till Monday or Tuesday. We are a little early
We have been off the internet for the past week as our modem that we plug in the side of the computer fried on us. It warped and melted and obviously wouldn't let us connect. It has been quite frustrasting trying to get a new one. When Ken contacted bigpond they said it would take three working days to have it sent to Nan and Norm's address. Three working days later still no parcel. So when Ken rang to find out why he's told it has not been orderd let alone sent. So new arrangements had to be made. we stll don't have it but hopefully it will arrive tomorrow.
We had just one outing planned whilst we were in Sydney and that was to go into the city via the boat that leaves from Parramatta and goes into Circular Quay, then take the ferry over to Manly then turn around and come back. We were going with Barry, a long time friend of Kens. But wouldn't you know it when we woke up it was raining and I mean raining, bucket loads so we cancelled out. It fined up for a while in the middle of the day and ended the same way it started and poured once again in the afternoon.
We also took a drive up to a place called Dungog, near Newcastle to look at a Jeep that interested Ken. Dungog turned out to be a really nice small town and no doubt drew lots of people sightseeing on weekends. Fr those who know Gippsland it was a lot like Yarram. I would love to go back there again for a longer stay and take a look at Newcastle and Maitland.
On the way home we stayed one night at spot just out of Braidwood that we had stopped at once before. Our second stop was at Mystery Bay. There was a large camping ground there but we decided not to stay there as Ken spoke to a group of people setting up camp. They were expecting about 30 to 40 men for the weekend. Ken thought the set up team were already half plastered by the number of empty cans they had laying about.
From a distance we had seen a couple of caravans parked on the beach and we decided to try and find out how they got there. It turned out they weren't on the beach but parked in a cul de sac that led you straight onto the beach. We parked there with them for the night and lay in bed listening to the sound of the ocean lapping at the sure. The pics of the ocean and the beach are taken there.
We will stay here in Bairnsdale for a few days and then go to Sale from here ready for Ken to have the proceedures done on the 2nd June.
With that I shall say goodbye for now.
Love to all
