Houston! We are ready for Take OFF!!!!

Well, there was a Level 7 out of 10 epic meltdown in the Daniel house hold this morning as I tried to pack everything, along with the kitchen sink, into my suitcase ready for England.

It was seriously funny - I must have lost the capacity to think straight and I reminded myself that I would probably not wear most of what I packed - so I unpacked and decided to just throw in the necessary branded T shirts, a spare pair of jeans, shoes, socks, undies and our Holy Holes and Sacred Bushes Hoodie.

Done!

Then came the food that all of our friends have asked us for - vegemite, Tim Tams, chicken salt, pavlova mix etc, etc..

Food for ex pats comes first.

Then the camera gear, various grades of coats to cope with what is anything from 2 degrees to 12 degrees at the moment and other assorted pieces of paraphernalia.

We arrived at our hotel - the Rydges, directly across from the main terminal.

Anne said she wanted to book as close to the terminal as possible so we could get that extra 5 minutes of sleep and get into the Qantas lounge for our coffees and croissant before we depart.

Our flight leaves at 6am in the morning - so we will not be getting much sleep.

But we are now SO DAMN CLOSE.

Just get us on that plane.

Anne is currently setting the wake up alarm for 2.45am!!!

Do we even bother going to sleep at all?

Oh, I'm getting very excited.

Remember to pop by our socials and you tube to get the lowdown on all of our stops.

Lemon Tree Passage Ghost - Local legend is alive and well

Lemon Tree Passage is a suburb of the Port Stephens local government area in the Hunter Region of New South Wales, Australia, located at the end of the Tilligerry Peninsula and surrounded by the waters of beautiful Port Stephens . Ever since I can remember there have been a few urban legends about a stretch of highway named Lemon Tree Passage Road. The story begins when a motor bike rider and his pillion passenger died after colliding with a four wheel drive killing both. This seems to be the source of the ghostly lights and apparition. These sort of events don't stay quiet in small townships. Stories spread fast often not ending up like they started. Every so often this urban legend makes a comeback with a number to people tempting fate and poking the ghost rider.

Diary of a Ghost Hunter - The Wallacia Hotel

We were given the opportunity of staying overnight at the Wallachia Hotel in Western Sydney. The hotelwas officially opened on December 3rd 1937. During the Second World War the hotel was used as the Army headquarters for radiopyhysics. I had never been to the Wallacia Hotel before, but, my ghost hunting gal pal Anne, had been there about 5 years ago with a group of Paranormal Investigators that she was working with at the time. We arrived and we were greeted by Craig, the night manager, who welcomed us with open arms. Craig recognised Anne from the last time she had visited. Anne asked whether any spooky things had been happening over the last few years. Craig said that he always thought that there was something a little bit weird going on late at night. Over the last few months everything had changed as the Hotel had been very much affected by the COVID lock downs This was a huge hotel with quite an interesting history even though in the whole scheme of things the h...

A Peculiar Fascination for Haunted Places - Quarantine Station Manly, Sydney

Perched on the rocky cliffs of North Head, overlooking Sydney Harbour, lies one of Australia's most historic and eerie sites: the Quarantine Station at Manly. This sprawling complex, now part of the Sydney Harbour National Park, has a rich history that dates back to the early 19th century. It served as a quarantine station for over 150 years, sheltering those who arrived in Sydney with contagious diseases. The Quarantine Station, or "Q Station" as it's now known, is not only a monument to medical history but also a hotspot for ghostly encounters. The Origins of the Quarantine Station The Quarantine Station was established in 1832, during a time when ships arriving in Sydney brought not only new settlers and goods but also deadly diseases. Smallpox, typhus, cholera, and the plague were among the illnesses that posed significant threats to the burgeoning colony. To protect the population, the New South Wales government designated North Head as the site for a quara...
