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...
Nightlife In Mildura
So you think this is a post about cute nocturnal animals… spoiler alert. Sorry no cute animals in this post. This is my first post on the blog and I know Ross said in our first post why would two purportedly sane adults do what we are doing. Go...
