Long time since a post. We headed south to the Gold Coast. The Chookpen had a service. We hung around the Tweed area for a few weeks and then headed south before turning westward nr Newcastle, through the Hunter Valley and over to Mudgee for Xmas. Thoroughly enjoying ourselves everywhere.

Bundaberg QLD
Obligatory stop at Eumundi Markets


Another sensational stopover at Pottsville

Urunga NSW

Nambucca Heads
South West Rocks was just a beautiful place. How's this for digs!!!!!
Trial Bay Gaol

Kempsey NSW. They love Slim here. Also the home of the famous Akubra Hat.
Port Macquarie. Lovely town and fantastic beaches.

Enjoying lunch at Soldiers Point.
Digs at Branxton, Hunter Valley. Drive through the wine country absolutely beautiful. Sorry, forgot camera. The thunder storms around these parts have been horrendous. The Chookpen has been copping a hammering.

The elder member of the Chookpen peering through the wire at Lone Pine Barracks, Singleton, remembering a time (thankfully) long gone.
More storms at Willow Tree

The drive out through here has been wonderful. "Absolutely Marvellous" as Richie would say. We are looking forward to Xmas in Mudgee.
How about "The Back Stump" being out here

.........onwards to Mudgee

Merry Xmas from The Chookpen
