9th September to 12th September As we got used to a heavier load behind the car we settled in for the 300km drive north towards Mildura. We stopped at a familiar recreation oval in Ouyen that we had been to before on numerous occasions, we were very excited to be able to open the vanContinue reading “The much warmer sunraysia area of Mildura and surrounds.”

28th August to 9th September We left Alice Springs on time and on schedule and set a new early morning record for ourselves, 8am……. We were on a mission and quite simply we had 3 nights and 4 days in which to accomplish it!!  First stop we stayed at Coober Pedy, then onto Mount Remarkable (just south ofContinue reading “The rendezvous……”

11th March to 24th March After doing a few odd jobs we finally left Warnambool just after lunch, arriving in The Grampians about 4ish. We went straight to the Information Centre to grab some maps and to see what are the ‘must do’s’ were whilst we are here. The gentleman at the info centre suggestedContinue reading “The Grampians”

2nd March to 11th March We chose the shorter 2 hour inland route as opposed to the longer, car sick inducing 4 hour Great Ocean Rd route to reach our next destination, Warrnambool, or ‘The Bool’ as it commonly known.

24th February to 2nd March Our long drive today only took us 45 minutes from Lorne back to Torquay, where we set up camp at the Torquay Foreshore Caravan Park for the next 6 days. We had ventured back here for a planned surf skill training session with Mornington Life Saving Club, which in the end tookContinue reading “Three steps forward, two steps back……”

10th February to 24th February 2015 After we departed Ocean Grove we made a detour to Woolworths to do our weekly shop, as we knew the Foodworks in Lorne was very limited in choice and quite pricey. We then headed to Bells Beach in Torquay to have lunch and a play in the water. Nik and IContinue reading “Heading down the Great Ocean Road to Lorne.”

31st January to 10th Feb 2015 For the second time in 2 weeks we quietly snuck out of Mornington again and made our way over to the Bellarine Peninsula. We chose to stay at Ocean Grove, as we have never been here before, it was a short drive and we had a Junior Lifesaving Carnival here on theContinue reading “And away we go, again………………………”

Thought we’d have a bit of fun with our pack up, although I’m not too sure about the audience laughing at us half way through!!!!!  

20th January to 31st January 2015 After 5 years planning and dreaming finally the day has come to leave. After a hectic weekend of lifesaving, we spent a day cleaning Nik’s brother unit, packing stuff to storage and to the van. Our last night was spent at Mums’s house, where after a few odd jobsContinue reading “And away we go!!!!!”
