Tomorrow we will pick up Carols aunt and take...

Here we came across Honeycomb Valley, a small sustainable...

Tomorrow we move on to www.davesfrontlawn.com.au and our adventure will be drawing to a close, I still have some official exoffico duties to perform with a bloke who is building a steamboat in Campsie and Dave’s 60th but then it will be back to Canberra, a full sized home and the usual round of Doctors appointments that we have avoided by not being home. Today we spent with Carols Aunt getting a few things sorted. Having sorted her we can move on, we did have a yummy lunch...
