Do It Now with Kaz’n’Davo

06/09/2024

7 hours and around 600 kms we made it from Sunny Coast to a little place just past Rockhampton called The Caves. Parked up outside the pub- friendly staff, cold drinks, good menu and live music. Can’t ask for much more than that in a Friday night!

06/09/2024

And almost a year to the day ( we picked the van up new on the 7/9/23) we are off again!

05/09/2024

No pics but two days travel and we pick the van up on the Sunny Coast tomorrow after a month of repairs and warranty work. My half year contract has turned into a term contract (for many reasons) so we will be back on the road again soon!!! Watch this space

A couple of weeks until we get the van back and start planning out next moves!
Today we explored a little south of Ayr to Molongle Creek - a small van park, boat ramp and licensed cafe.
Was nice to look at the water again.
And then on the way back we went up to the lookout at Mount Inkerman- not suitable for vans as quite steep.

Quiet on the Do-It-Now page whilst we set up house for a few months here in Ayr. Such a lovely town and the people have been extremely welcoming.
Hubby left yesterday to take the van back to Bushtracker HQ where it will stay for August and have some warranty stuff and 20000km service. Felt weird watching him drive off without me! Didn’t even have my phone with me to capture the moment!
Planning a trip north during the next school holidays and am so looking forward to it! Had forgotten about alarms and deadlines 😜
Oh well, gotta fund the retirement somehow 😂

Yes I know we have paused our trip but we have a “why” 💙

04/07/2024

Always me 😜

View from our balcony! Last 3 days before back to the grind for two terms. But hey, qld pays more than WA!
Big picture- more travels ❤️

The view from the massive trees at the back of the school. Our house on the right! And our sunset view from the balcony l tonight.
Awesome spot 8kms from Ayr.

Arrived in Ayr this week just on time for the Burdekin Show. Good old fashioned country fun!

After watching our son’s army helicopter crewie training at Oakey Army base, we spent last night in Miles. We had just pulled up and got talking to the people in front of us- turns out we had lived just a few kms from each other for many years and had a common friend. Bloody small world.
Now guess where we are?

15/06/2024

The last few days- Mitchell Artesian Spa and Possum Park.
Nice to soak in the mineral waters to smooth the aches from the hikes. Then a recommendation to head to Possum Park in Miles- an old airforce munitions store complete with the old bunkers , some converted to units. Soon the old TAA plane will also host lodgings.

11/06/2024

Today’s 15km hike.
We went back and covered the Moss Garden which we missed on the big walk on Sunday. Then we tackled the 2.2km Bluff and finally a few smaller tracks. Unfortunately my knee didn’t like the climb up/down the Bluff but was so worth it.

Views from the campground and Davo’s first beer in 7 weeks!

Feeling it today!
Yesterday’s 25km hike was stunning!

Hello dear followers 👋
Well after a bit of down time we are road trippin’ again!
Yesterday we left our little farm stay on the outskirts of Brissie headed inland to Carnarvon Gorge.
We made it to a little town called Eidsvold and stayed the night at the RM Williams Australian Bush Learning Info Centre. A really interesting place- unfortunately I wasn’t feeling great yesterday so we missed the light show and… it was really really cold! So tucked up in the van with the heater on!!

Been a bit quiet for the “Do it now” duo, and just parked up on the outskirts of Brisbane.
Found this gorgeous little fairy dell on one of our walks.
In a holding pattern at the minute while I wait for the outcome of some teaching applications further north in qld.

So special to share our grandsons first camping trip. And some great hikes in the National park here.

Coloundra-Brisbane-Grantham-Brisbane:

Yesterday was home time for Ros after a fabulous week.
We dropped her at the airport and then drove out to Grantham to get the van. We had left in a hurry after the wedding so took us a while to tidy and pack her back up.
Then the two hour drive back to Brissie’s northern suburbs.
We are staying on a working horse farm- it’s a great spot close to the city but rural so you feel like you are camping. And $20 a night is good value with toilets and showers if you need them.
And best of all- you can have fires here! Lots of camp ovens coming up this week!! 😋

Our last night road-trippin:
Ramada Resort Coloundra- stunning views
Spoilt ourselves a little for our last stop over.
Finished the evening with yummy Thai food

18/04/2024

Yesterday we had the whole day at Rainbow Beach. Davo and Ros had fun finding yabbies but no luck with the subsequent fishing so no fish and chips for dinner 😜
But very apt to have a rainbow 🌈 to end the day

16/04/2024

Ended the day at Rainbow Beach 🌈
Lunch at the Surf Club, a drive on the beach to Inskip, Ros has a dip and watch the barge from Fraser Island. And now for the sunset 🌅

15/04/2024

TinCan Bay- the oldest dolphin feeding station in the world which has been running for over 70 years.
Ros’s morning surprise!

14/04/2024

Useful chart when you travel in Oz!

14/04/2024

Our trip continues to the beautiful glasshouse mountains where we caught up with our yoga teacher and mentor of many years.
What a surprise for Ros!
Then on to our overnight accomodation in Maleny.
Spectacular views for miles

Road tripping week with my bestie from Perth!
Stop 1:
Esk- gorgeous little town in the Somerset region of SE Qld.
The motel we booked was very different to say the least- office locked but name on room door, doors wide open with keys in them, not a soul around to pay 🤔
Ends up the deaf cleaner is the owners sister so I handed over the cash to her after a FaceTime with the owner. Interesting way to do business 😜

Them wedding feels ❤️
It was a most wonderful day; perfection 💍
