All Over

Well folks, total change of plans, we caught up with our son and daughter in law and had a great time in Yeppoon. Very nice place, nice beach and they really cater for tourists. It was terrific to catch up with the boy, he looks very health and happy.
From there to our friends at Pine Creek to get the springs replaced in the awning. They have a nice spread out of Bundaberg a bit.
From there we went on to Barmera, our current location. Things changed on the way to SA in a big way. I have been having a lot of pain in my neck on this trip when I had to hook and unhook up the van. Every time I had to do something I was in quite a lot of distress so after talking it over, Fae and I made a big decision, the drier air was much better for her lungs and because I was having so much trouble we decided to call it quits and find a little place to settle, near to friends and rellatives.

We have a small unit in Barmera now, we sold the van and truck to a lovely couple from Adelaide who we getting ready to go on a bit longer trips than their smaller van allowed.
Fae and I then went and bought all new furniture and white goods and moved in. We also bought a new Getz auto, hell it's small out side but like a Tardis on the inside. The first thing we noticed was the fuel bill $60 to fill instead of the $180 we were used to, park any where in
the shade and rego and insurance is cheap also. All good so far.
So it's bye bye to the blog and all our friends we have met on the road. It was great while it lasted but we had to be honest about keeping going and perhaps doing some serious spinal damage. We will both miss traveling around and seeing all the little places that make up this big country. Best wishes to you all and above all keep safe.
