Let Us Sleep!

 I am not sure just how much sleep I am going to get tonight.

We have set the alarm for 6.30am  and it's now 9.15pm and we sit in bed in our jammies ( we are SOOOO exciting) and just relaxing. I have a really bad back ache which came on around 2pm today so I'll be taking some pain meds and riding it out.

We got to our hotel without too much trouble and Anne left the hire car at the drop off point and walked to the Hotel.

We decided to celebrate with a glass of Moscato for me and a Cocktail for Anne and we shared a plate of pickles and salami.

That will do us until the morning.

We are going to pace ourselves with food until we get onto the plane.

Why? Cause something super awesome happened today.

Anne informed me that she had bid on an upgrade and got it!!

Yes...we are flying in business class to LAX.

How did she manage that? I don't know - pure unadulterated luck.

But I will make sure that I tell you all about it as I have never experienced this luxury.

You should have seen my face when she told me.



Yes it's that pod one where the seat can recline flat and we get silver service.

OH MY BEATING HEART.

So let's see if I cry.

There is a big likelihood.

Good night lovelies - I may not post for another 24 hours as we go to LAX then to DALLAS and then to New Orleans.

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.             A memorial to Dale Dickens on the Lemon Tree Passage Road / Pic: Robert Mckell Source:The Daily Telegraph The  Lemon Tree Passage ghost  f...

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...
