I Want You
Tess has admonished me for not posting enough pictures of the dogs. So here is a short video of Maggie and Harry. To make our lives easier Maggies has been on heat since we started our trip. ? She is now at the stage of wanting some loving. Harry...
Mad Hattah
We have questioned our sanity a number of time on this trip already. So yesterday, to escape the madness, Nina and Emily got their nails done while I stayed at the van with Nana. Mum asked if I would drive her back home to Melbourne. From which sprang an...
Mildura
Finally I can bring you all up to date. We left Dimboola and headed to Mildura. A stop at Hopetoun by their lovely Lake Lascelles for lunch, the pies and salad rolls from the bakery where great.? We where off again but a short time later we started having...
Little Desert Lots of Fun
Being in Dimboola we were right next to the Little Desert. So one afternoon we took an expedition into the National Park. Emily with her L’s on was driving the Amarok. We drove a track that followed the Wimmera River which was firm gravel. We then turned onto a...
Silo Mentality
When I was at the Bank there was lots of accusations of teams working in a Silo Mentality (I.e. Only interested in their job and bugger everybody else). Having escaped the bank I was stuck in a Silo Mentality of a different type. There is a Painted Silo Trail...

Beaufort Town
Our first stop on the trip was Beaufort. Why Beaufort I here you ask. Well I just love the town. It has two of my favourite buildings and they are right next to each other. Beaufort Motors now houses the Skinny Sisters Cafe where we had a lovely lunch...
From Swearing To Beaufort
I don’t know if there is a town called Swearing anywhere but for a while a street in Mount Dandenong could definitely be called Swearing. Our street is narrow, single lane and gravel. Not exactly conducive to a 24 foot caravan to traverse. But there was no choice we...
UBCO Meet Drifta
Thanks to the Luke and the Team at Drifta I have mounted my UBCO Electric Motorbike to the drawbar of the caravan. They also supplied a custom canvas cover. ?? For the normally abled this should have been a simple task but one blunt and two broken drill bits...
