We couldn't pass up on a beer and a $10 meal, "to support the locals". Decision was m...

Just Travelling around Oz. 23 March, 2014. After picking up the van from Melbourne we spent a week in Albury at the Albury Motor Village to finish sorting through the last of Briony's possessions, then it was time to get out of the hussel and bussel of Albury and shopping centers to find some quite free camps on the mighty Murray River. Bridge Hotel - Jingellic. The free camping area behind the pub, a little tooooo crowded for our liking. Gadds Bend Reserve was a great spot, around 10 acres right on the ...

Just Travelling around Oz. 18 July, 2015. What a wonderful welcome home - our son standing with all the suit clad chauffeurs with two signs saying Mother and Dad! The flight home was quite rough at times however sitting third row from the back of the plane could have something to do with the ride! 15 July, 2015. After surviving the bus trip we caught a plane from Vancouver to LA then caught taxi to Santa Monica which took forever as it was a warm Sunday and EVERYONE was enjoying the beach. Settled in...

http://geoffnhels.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Just Travelling around Oz. 25 June, 2015. Alberta's badlands - Drumheller. Most of the trip to Calgary the discussion revolved around what we had seen and the passenger who boarded in Kimberley kept us informed via frequent updated phone calls to his wife! Both driver and passenger had never seen anything like this in the area before - how do you think we felt, as never seen this sort of fire power before in Australia! Hels checking out the stallion at Horse shoe Canyon. How cooooool is Hels. Dorothy Cat...

Before heading back to the Motor Home to cook dinner. Overall impression was not good at this stage as way too commercialized for our liking. Boardwalk in front of all the shops at Denali N/P. Another view of the resort village area. For dinner we ate Alaskan salmon,...

Just Travelling around Oz. 28 February, 2015. Eumundi camp, toilet block made from used containers and the mural on the side is the market body painting display. First time I have been happy to see 10 council workers carrying out roadworks! The fork of the tree caught on the LHS of the bridge and another 7 metres or so protruding from under the bridge on the RHS. Road blocked - patiently waiting for the repair work to be carried out. The back yard we were looking after. Thursday afternoon was the social ...

The Wandering Tops: Calgary Stampede
http://geoffnhels.blogspot.com/2015/07/calgary-stampede.html
Just Travelling around Oz. 08 July, 2015. Bull Busting was the first event we attended. It was held the night prior to the parade and is a heat to the rodeo which runs during Stampede. This rodeo was held at Ranchmans Bar and seemed to be a corporate outside event which we were lucky enough to get some complimentary tickets. The crowd gathers as the sun sets over the rodeo. Quite a bit of action throughout the night. All the riders are introduced to the crowd. Young cowboys and girls waitin for the parade.
