Happy New Year to all of my loyal readers.

I have really enjoy sharing my travel experiences and photos here over the last year. I hope that my readers have also enjoyed my blog.

Let me know what you think by using the comments section below.

Posts here might be a little sporadic over the next week or two. I am travelling in NSW and Victoria and getting plenty more photos to share here. Until then – a few favourite shots from the last year.

2008 Road Trip to Sydney

Hay Plains, New South Wales

We are off on another road trip – this time to Sydney for Christmas. The photo above was taken on our trip last year; this year we are driving our daughter’s car, but we didn’t stop to take a photo of the Hay Plains this trip.

We left on the Monday before Christmas so this article has taken a few days to appear. Over the coming few weeks I will be adding many more articles about what we did and what we saw. I will also be adding heaps of photos.

On the first day we left home in Murray Bridge soon after breakfast. We stopped at Underbool in Victoria for a very hot lunch. We had been travelling just ahead of a cool change sweeping across the countryside. We had afternoon tea at Piangil on the banks of the River Murray. Soon after we crossed the river at Tooleybuc and into New South Wales. We bypassed Balranald and travelled on across the Hay Plains shown in the photo above.

Because of the heat the birding was poor all day. I saw very few birds as we travelled along.
