After leaving Melbourne in the middle of December 2011, we have finally made it to Brisbane to set up a new home.  What an incredible journey we have had discovering this amazing country of ours, and we still have so much to explore some other time. If we were to choose our favourite...

  We planned to make a fairly quick trip through New South Wales on this trip and explore the state more thoroughly in the future, which should be pretty easy from Brisbane.  As it turns out, NSW is experiencing their worst bush fire season in a while and so with temperatures in the...

  We left Bright and headed up towards NSW on what for them a very bad (catastrophic) fire day, so we got away early and only drove a couple of hours up the road to a place called Colac Colac, which basically consists of a caravan park and surrounding farmland. As far as a caravan park...

  After our whirlwind trip to Melbourne and Bendigo, it was lovely to arrive in Bright on the banks of the Ovens River in the Victorian High Country and set up camp for two and a half weeks.     We arrived on the Sunday before Christmas, as did Lyndon’s Mum, Dad, Aunt and...

  We arrived back in Melbourne a year to the day after we left, and set ourselves up in the boys place in North Melbourne.  We were in Melbourne for a week, with our main goal to see as many of our friends as possible and say g’day and goodbye as we don’t know when we will...

  After a few chilly days near Mt Baw Baw we were hoping for warmer weather as we travelled to Wilsons Promontory National Park on the south coast.  Quite a few years ago we did a 4-day trek with a bunch of friends at the southern most part of the park and were blown away with the beauty...

  We headed down to Lakes Entrance and saw a sign for a festival on the weekend, so after travelling all around Australia and never being in a town at the same time as a festival, we thought we should settle in here and check it out since it was the Gippsland’s largest festival (as...

  We have spent the last few days exploring another part of the high country. From 7 mile we headed north to Bright, a beautiful spot on the Ovens River that we have enjoyed visiting before.  The drive, once you are off the Hume and heading east, was beautiful and the landscape was so...

  After a slow packup at Pineapple Flat and saying goodbye to everyone, we headed back up the mountain with Ben and Seb as we were heading over to 7 Mile Flat with them for a few days.  As we were getting up to the top of the track the hail started coming down so...

  Around 6 months ago, GGPatrol from the myswag forum created a post to get the Tambo Camper Trailer owners  (and of course anyone else who wanted to come along) away for a weekend up into the Victorian High Country.  We put ourselves down as a maybe as it was pretty close to the...

  We had hopped onto houseboats and driven through Echuca in the past, but we hadn’t actually stopped in to have a look around, so since it was about half way between Mungo NP and Mansfield, we thought we might finally stop in for a few days and check the place out.  Arriving on...

  We have spent the last few weeks enjoying ourselves at Lyndon’s folks’ place in the Adelaide Hills.  Everything was beautiful and green. Charlie was in heaven with his adoring nanny and poppa and loved  re-exploring the veggie patch (especially the strawberries and...
