  • Come with me on my solo challenge of taking our beloved Mildred (our 14.6 offroad caravan) to explore an awesome free camp in the Hunter Region of NSW. Surrounded by wineries, restaurants, chocolates, cheese, markets and stunning countryside, I was definitely up for the ALONE challenge.

      Thank you, that’s a lovely compliment, our camp food is always such a delicious delight. Appreciate the kind feedback.
      Having Steve & Nick join me was the best, sitting around the campfire the first night by myself was pretty lonely, it’s so much better to share the experience with someone.

    Love your channel and your van Mildred - she is a trooper! Definitely a taker for your digital cookbook - you come up with ideas I never would have thought of. Loved the Soup in a Bottle and the Baked Apple in Puff Pastry which I am making tonight but alas not in the camp oven. Thankyou for showcasing what we have in our own backyard. We were feeling for you in the Wattagans episode as we owned a property backing onto Boundary Road where all those potholes were... never has been properly maintained (we used to run a Horse Riding stables for trail rides in the mountains) there some years ago. Must also add that your photography and drone visuals are excellent.

    I generally camp solo (w/my dogs), as my other half is not too keen. So, good for you for not stopping you getting out there. You should stop by the Budgewoi Boat Ramp at Budgewoi. Then take a short walk along the walking path (that goes around the point not far from the boat ramp). The path is lined by various (100s) painted stones like what you do. Some of them are works of art, and some are very clever and funny. They go on for about a kilometre. You should add a stone (or two) of your beautiful work to the collection.

Such a fun band who play covers and Budgewoi is so beautiful by the water. Thanks for stopping by to leave a comment. Good on you for traveling with your dogs, it’s a shame your wife isn’t into the camping, I think I it’s the best. Cheers Marg

    I did a trip to Wollombi today, then to my favourite boutique winery - Tumberlaine Wines, followed by lunch at the HVG at Pokolbin. From Wollombi to Pokolbin, I decided to go the slightly longer route via Broke to see if I can find the pebbles you left at McNamara Park. Happy to say, I found two out of three. Kept one (couldn't decide which one to keep) and return the other one back to where it was hidden. This was like a treasure hunt. Great art BTW. 👍
