Welcome

Welcome to Derek and Karen's travel blog. We hope you will enjoy following our journey around Australia the slow way. We will try to keep our blog entertaining for you with our photography and highlights and the occasional lowlights (hopefully not too many of those). We have a couple of adds on the right that you are more than welcome to click on to view, that will help us along the way. The add about the Amazon Kindle is about our favourite choice of ebook that we read for at least 2 hours every day. We have a Kindle each and down load all sorts of books to read on them. So we hope you enjoy our blogs.

 This bikie gang was the last of the local traffic before the parade came past in the center of Inverell.
The Inverell Anzac Day March. Young and old took part as well as vintage cars and all the services.
 This is the Garden of Remembrance for Those Who Served. It is at the Inverell RSM.
These are the Tributes placed today after the Anzac Day Parade through the streets of Inverell.
Another pretty little wallaby living in someones yard in the town of Bingara.

This is the Inverell Reserve spillway above and just to the left is this part of the lake. Pretty spot for the locals to canoe or kayak on the warm days. The park behind us was full of families relaxing on Easter Sunday.
Found a great hat for Karen to keep her head warm in winter. She didn't buy it though. I thought she looked like a Buffalo head. We found this is a tiny little winnery in Inverell, along with a bakers dozen of their finest.

These back yard Wallabies are just too cute. They followed me along the fence line while I was trying to get a clear shot of them with my camera of course. They live in a large suburban block in Bingara along with about a dozen other wallabies and kangaroos.

 The river running through Bingara is the Gwydir and today in their annual fishing tornament. The river is around 40cm deep in most places but apparently has a number of species of fish living in it. Good luck to the fishermen and ladies.
 There is a lot of red weed choking the river at present. Good for the fish to hide under from the sun and the fishing folk.
