Welcome to my travel blog

Hello. My name is Monica and I am a silver gypsy, which sounds classier and more interesting than being a grey nomad.This is an ongoing blog which I usually restart when I hit the road again. It is partly a record of my journeys and partly reflections on issues which arise as I travel.

In 2015 my grandson Cory spent a couple of months travelling with me. The link to his blog is in a sidebar. In 2016 Hudson was my travelling companion. Cooper travelled at the end of 2016. They would love feedback on their blogs. Also in the sidebar is a link to my poetry blog.

Please feel free to read all or any of the blogs. I have discovered that some readers have not been able to Follow or Comment. I would still love to hear from you. You can email feedback to silvergypsy1944@gmail.com.

Two Days of Sunshine

I had a day in Sale. The highlight was a river trip to the Swing Bridge where the entire middle span turns parallel to the bank to allow shipping through. It is one of five in Australia. I had a guided tour to myself but my driver cum tour guide assured me that he does the trip twice a day even if he doesn't have passengers. He pointed out the wildlife on the banks, including several koalas. We were actually in a canal made to link Sale with Lakes Entrance, through three major lakes. The link is not used commercially any longer.

That made my trip to Lakes Entrance more interesting. It also coincided with a couple of fine sunny days with incredible views of the Lakes.



































Along the foreshore of the town is a series of timber sculptures honouring military veterans.







Just along from Lakes Entrance, Mollie and I camped at Lake Tyers at the boat ramp. She is an early bird and was gone when I woke next morning - to clanking and clunking. A string of cars, trailers and boats stretched in angled parking on both sides of me, parallel parked in what I had assumed to be free camping. I was dressed and out of there in less than five minutes.
