Hi 4\5 DS
We are having a quiet day around our campsite today so I have time to add a quick post to share some of the things I have seen so far on our travels.
On The Rail Trail
We stopped at Wangaratta for a few days where we rode our bikes on some of a great bike track called The Rail Trail. The trail follows an old railway line and you could ride from Wangaratta to Bright but it might take a while! Why do think it might take a while?
We then visited a tiny town called Temora where we stayed at a camping area right near an airfield for light planes. You can buy a block a land that has access to the runway and taxi ways so that you can build your house with a hanger for your light plane. There is a very good museum there with lots of working aircraft on display. As we were packing up to go on to our next stop we heard a plane taxi-ing down the runway. It was a Spitfire and we were able to watch it do acrobatics above us as we left.

We also stayed at Bathurst so that we could visit the Jenolan Caves. We went for a cave tour through the Baal Cave and saw some very pretty crystal formations. The road into the caves area is very windy and narrow so for part of the day it is one way for a section so that tour buses can get there without creating road blocks.
We visited Tamworth and Ballina (where it rained lots) and because it was so wet we drove straight past the Gold Coast and Brisbane before choosing to stop at Maroochydore. It was so wet when we travelled that we saw none of the high rise buildings of the Gold Coast and none of Brisbane. There were record rainfalls on that day for the region we drove through.
At Australia Zoo during the main show.
While here at Maroochydore we have visited Australia Zoo (loved it!), gone on two boat cruises, seen Underwater World, looked at more aircraft at the Queensland Air Museum, ridden along the river on our bikes, driven in the rain to the hinterlands and looked at Noosa in a rare patch of sunshine.
Mrs S
Have you been to any of the places I have visited? How has the weather been in Hobart?
