Heading to Hakuba
Bigriggen
Queen Mary Falls

Our next stop was Copeton Dam which is west of Glen Innes and Inverell, with stop offs at Ebor Falls and lunch and groceries in Armidale. Originally we were going to stay at Ebor Falls but part of the access…
Nymboida
From Casino we headed to the Nyboida Canoe and Camping centre on Goolang Creek for 2 nights. Of course there was a stop for coffee in Grafton on the way. Most of us had been to the area before but…
Casino
Heading from Rathdowney we were aiming for Kyogle. However on arrival at the Showgrounds, the ground was still really wet and with no caretaker around, we decided to push onto Casino. But first ….. coffee. Google maps did not let…
Rathdowney
Waking up on New Years Day to a lot of rain still coming down, we finally left Tim & Lesley’s late morning heading for Rathdowney. Even though it rained most of the drive we were lucky to be on the…
Buccan New Years
After picking up our Van on Saturday it was all packed for our trip to Tim & Lesley’s at Buccan to celebrate both the New Years as well as Alan’s birthday. After a few storms and persistent rain drove us…
Hamilton Island
After a fabulous trip in 2022 we booked again with friends from the Carina Leagues Triathlon club to head to the 2023 Hamilton Island triathlon and Ocean swim events. We booked 2 side-by-side ground floor apartments with Kitty and Anne…
The Run Home
Leaving Bulli Beach we headed north over the iconic SeaCliff Bridge and then through Sydney. We timed our drive through on a Sunday so we could avoid the $60+ in tolls. Traffic was ok but obviously quite a few sets…
NSW South Coast
As we left Mallacoota and Victoria behind we crossed the border into NSW with an underwhelming border sign 😢. Our first stop was Eden for coffee where we stumbled across a vintage car show and shine in the Main Street.…
East Gippsland
As we left The Prom, it started raining. And it kept raining for our whole drive to Lakes Entrance. As we headed through Sale, we could see the volume of water which had flooded some roads only 2 weeks ago…
The Prom
From Mornington Peninsula we drove down to Wilson’s Promontory, affectionately known as “The Prom”. With a huge National Park campground of over 450 sites, we decided to just turn up and find a site that would suit us before booking.…
Mornington Peninsula
After we picked up the van from Titanium on Thursday afternoon, we headed through some peak hour traffic down to Capel Sounds on the Mornington Peninsula to meet up with Sharyn and Glen for the weekend. Our campsite was right…
Geelong & Melbourne
After staying the night at the Geelong Showgrounds, we dropped into Geelong foreshore though it was a bit too wet to walk the foreshore. We improvised and found a MacPac store and great coffee shop. This sustained us for the…
Great Ocean Road
On our trip from SA to Melbourne we decided to go via The Great Ocean road. I had memories of the trip I did with Linda and Mum back in September 2011, though we thought it had been about 30…
Port Fairy
We arrived fairly late at Port Fairy as we changed time zones to Victoria – lost another half an hour for one day until Daylight Saving kicked in on our second night. We booked an unpowered site, but had to…
Streaky Bay to Port Fairy
After spending 10 days with Dave, Veronica, Mark and Lynne we were back travelling on our own. We headed across the top of the Eyre Peninsula back towards Adelaide with our main destination Port Fairy in Victoria. Streaky Bay to…
Streaky Bay
We arrived at Streaky Bay just after lunch on Sunday and found ourselves on a waterfront site. Just as I got changed for a swim (yes it was 28 degrees), a change came through and clouds with a sprinkle of…
