holiday jaunt

Partner Noel and I are off on a little holiday jaunt tomorrow. In our early years together we didn’t have very much money, coming together as we did at a time when we were both rebuilding our lives after a few little hiccups.

We have managed though to have little trips and holidays now and then. We tried camping, several times; mmm ... some stories there!

This was our campsite at Boonaroo Fraser Straits, Queensland.

We have a favourite hide-away place in the Bunya Mountains; we rent a little mountain-house and do what I call 5-STAR camping.

The views are spectacular

somerset1Another camp-site at Somerset Dam was special.

This time we are heading for the NSW north coast and inland a bit to visit the birthplace of some of Noel’s early settlers family. We could be away for up to a week, really looking forward to it...





I was attending a seminar on something or the other quite a few years ago, when I was much younger; and we were asked to write down, in one word, how we would like others to describe us. The most important thing we would want others to see us as being.

My answer that day was ‘intelligent’...
Today I think I would change that to ‘wise’...
Makes you think though - what would your word be?

My word...ummmm....'private', maybe...'paradoxial' comes to mind...'insane' is another...to difficult. I've given up on others' opinions of me as I think they would get it wrong, too! ;) I know myself better than any one does...and I'm still confused!! ;)

Your holiday sounds like it's going to be great, Della...have a wonderful time.

I would like to be thought of as "fun".

Loved the photos. Have a good break!

Hi Della ~ I would like to copy Jeanette's word - loving. Or caring.
Enjoy your break. You have some lovely
spots to visit in the photos. Thanks for your comments, and I liked the bare brick wall story too.
Take care, enjoy life, Cheers,Merle.

Hi Della
I agree with you ....wise is the word: if we grow older and wiser I think you are blessed, but that also means you are much more more relaxed and can have more fun ...so happy holiday.

The pictures are splendid.

Many moons ago my uncle who lived at Harvey Bay and Father( when on hols) used to travel by boat to Fraser Island with their provisions, staying in that pristine environment when there was virtually no one ...camping and fishing ....can you imagine what it was like some 50 + years ago !!

Best wishes

Hi Della

My word - tolerant, something I was not when I was younger but have learnt plenty of lessons in tolerance to get me where I am now! lol.

Love the holiday pics, don't we live in a beautiful state?

Hope all is well with you.

It's a great area around Boonaroo and Somerset Dam.

Hello from across the ditch !!! Thank you for your comment on my blog. I never went to any of the music festivals as I have never been interested in music.

You must have a few camping stories worth telling - have a look at Lulu.

As for my one word....... "Krazy" with a capital "K" !!! (hehe)
