The adventures of Almigo

December 2020 - another year looming, another big adventure on the horizon as we move over one thousand kilometers to be closer to family, from Glorious Gold Coast Queensland to Adventure Awaiting Albury, New South Wales (in Australia obviously.) And as we pack up our latest rental once again and clear out all the dead weight (while making some okay coin for it through Facebook classifieds) the list continues to grow daily as I ruminate on what I'll miss a lot after four years here. And for the yang to the ying, there's quite a few things I'm looking forward to turning my back on..

Isn't it amazing what you find in your own backyard? Case in point Hinze Dam on the Gold Coast. It's fifteen kms down the road from our house in Highland Park and ever since I saw the sign showing how to get there on the way to work each day I've always wondered 'Who would want to visit a boring old dam?' Turns out they do an amazing coffee here. Turns out I should have visited it years ago - what a truly magnificent place!

It’s been a long time between drinks in terms of posting here but I have fair enough reason, I’ve moved my entire operation from beautiful Bendigo to ever sunny (and occasionally stormy) Gold Coast Queensland. Me, the family and the dog arrives next week. And while I had a fair idea of what to expect, there’s been a few suprises during our time here..
