We have now moved on to Kyogle for the 2nd week of our caravaning holiday and just to make things interesting we had to set up in the rain which we handled well and are still friends (just!) The reason for staying here is so we can explore the Richmond Valley and its surrounding rainforests. This is us entering the Border Rangers National Park which is a 90 km trip that they say takes approx. 4hrs. This is due to the gravel roads and the beautiful landscape diversions that you must stop at and take a photo or two.

Here we are standing at the Pinnacle Lookout which gives you views right across the Tweed Valley over to Mt Warning and beyond.


We had such a clear day after an incredibly foggy morning as this photo shows. Taken from Blackbutt lookout on the Tweed Range scenic drive.

After this we ventured further across to Nimbin "the smoking" capital of Australia if you know what we mean! Very interesting place and people. Lots of crafts shops all with their own choice of opening and closing times depending on when they wake from the haze. More of our travels later on thanks for following and don't forget to send your comments. Alistair & Clare

Hello Clare & Alistair,

Well you are getting around a lot now and seem to be in charge of the van and all the equipment. DO like the pictures, very good indeed.

We just spent the weekend plus Monday with Peter & Marjorie. Had a very good time and the rest of the gang were there on Saturday [only]. We then went for a drive around the area on the Monday to give the car a run and let us see around what we hope to get into once we manage to sell the house!! Still no luck on that front as yet.

So now August is closer and Sally and the girls will be here and we hope warmer weather with it.

Are you finding it cold down in NSW now that they have not had a win?? Still I see they have had a small revenge and got rid of one Queenslander by fancy putting a Walsh Sheila in its place? I mean she is Walsh not New South Wales Walsh boyo!

Okay have lots of fun and enjoy the trip which you seem to be doing and we will catch you up once you get back.

Regards David & Jackie
