We did a round trip of 350km over the weekend, which was a marvelous mini-adventure! Saturday was splendidly scenic, following the "Falls Way" down to Warwick - and stopping at various lookouts en route.
We picnicked at Queen Mary Falls, where we enjoyed the company of bowerbirds and currawongs right beside our table!
There was more lovely countryside after lunch and we arrived at our accommodation in the early evening. I'd booked "Sunny" the vintage van on Friday morning, preferring it over a more traditional cabin. It was the right choice, so happy and cheerful!
Earlier in the year I'd upgraded our usual road-trip breakfast basket with a larger version. The yellow floral fabric was a good match for the sunflower van.
Dinner on Saturday night was cheffed using an electric frypan for herbed zucchini slices (cooked in foil), steaks with garlic butter (from a supermarket pre-pack) and fried onion.
I used the microwave to cook the corn cob in it's husk - and steam the baby potato pack.
Dessert was leftover birthday cake and we had some very flash bubbles bought locally - cos although I'd packed flutes, I'd left the intended sparkling wine at home. Der!
We managed a full game of Super Scrabble afterwards, though retreated indoors when the temperature dropped. (As you can see, Nick won the game but it all other respects the day was quite perfect)! Breakfast on Sunday morning was also taken inside, cos it was a bit cool out. Pack-up was smooth and we departed just on 10:00am for some more sight-seeing on the way home. Perfect!
