Sunday 27th February, (Adelaide).
One of our longer trips yesterday, 350k, saw us arrive at Adelaide. We could have easily stopped at other places on the way, like Kingston, Meningie, Murray Bridge, etc but we did want to get to Adelaide rather quickly.
We have re-farmiliarised ourselves with the area, and shopping centres, and when we have […]
Wednesday 23rd February. (Robe).
We have now moved on to Robe about 100k north of Mount Gambier. We were a little disappointed with Robe when we first arrived due to us building up expectations from what we had heard about the place. There is nothing really wrong with the town; it looks like a fantastic holiday […]
Monday 21st February. (Mount Gambier).
We had a trip around town today visiting the sinkholes and caves within the actual city boundaries. This area’s title of the ‘Limestone Coast’ was well demonstrated today by the sinkholes and caves. There are quite a few, and I dare say more than what we saw, around the town, the […]
Sunday 20th February. (Mount Gambier).
We finally had a chance to do our first walk today, around Blue Lake. The tourist booklet said this was a 3.6 Km walk, but information boards at the lake say that the circumference of the lake is 5 Km, so I don’t know how they work that one out. It […]
Wednesday 16th February. (still) (Mount Gambier).
Still Wednesday, and we have now moved and are in South Australia again, and almost came undone again with the time difference.
We are at Mount Gambier, and are quite surprised that we have not heard more about this city during our travels. The scenery in this city is very spectacular […]
Sunday 13th February, (Warrnambool).
Today saw us take a trip along the Great Ocean Road. We have both been along there before, separately, Linda with Narrelle on their tenting trip and me on my own when I was working in Melbourne. I am not sure how far I went along the coast road, from the other […]
Thursday 10th February, (Warrnambool).
Having done what we had to do at Geelong we have now moved to Warrnambool, about 200k west. Warrnambool, at first glance, gives us the impression that there would be a fair bit to do here and a fair bit to see. We will do and see the things we have on […]
Sunday 6th Feb, (Geelong).
We have now moved to Geelong for a few days. We have a couple of things to do here and then intend moving on.
We have now become very unimpressed with Ashley Gardens Caravan Park and will probably not stay there again. We could not fathom how they obtained a 5 star rating. […]
Chapter 29.
2005 Trip.
Thursday 3rd February 2005. (Melbourne).
The start of this leg of our journeys proved to not be too favourable with the weather, nation wide, turning very nasty. Queensland yesterday experienced dust storms, West Aus had their highest temps for ages, NSW had thunderstorms, and Victoria had its coldest February day on record and also […]
Thursday 3rd February.
I look back at my previous words and note again that it has been quite a while since putting down anything. I think back and conclude that there was not much happening to need to put finger to key, but I have in fact been busy fiddling around with the digital box, or […]
