                    <title>The Great Ocean Road</title>
                    <description>I organised a surprise long weekend trip along the Great Ocean Road for Deans birthday in July 2009. We both love that part of Victoria but this time we just seemed to whizz along it. The Twelve Apostles a collection of limestone stacks just off the coast took our breath away three years ago and were just as stunning this time around. These impressive formations up to 45m high have been for</description>

                    <title>Portland Port Fairy and Warrnambool</title>
                    <description>Neither of us had expected all that much of Portland but its a really nice town It used to be a whaling and sealing base from the early nineteenth century a fact that the old whale boiling pot in one of the parks is testimony to It was also one of Victorias earliest European settlements and rows of plaques adorning stone walls bear the details of settlers arrivals along with message</description>

                    <description>These small coastside towns are all truly lovely spots. Kingston comes very close to the very definition of peace and we enjoyed dipping into the icy ocean cycling to the lighthouse and over to the small creeksurrounded island with its human involvement sundial. Kingston is also home to the Big Lobster. What can I say about that its a big lobster Our next stop the fishing por</description>

                    <description>Wow only a month to go until Christmas As much as I like it I dont think Ill ever fully get used to Christmas during summer. It just doesnt feel quite right. This year we will probably be camping with friends for a few days. Well weve been camping for the last 10 months so we might as well do it over Christmas too  I had previously only been to Adelaide for work I was delighte</description>

                    <title>Woomera Port Augusta and Port Germein</title>
                    <description>After Coober Pedy we headed to the small town of Woomera which used to be the main site for experimental British rocket and nuclear tests. We explored the outdoor missile park and Dean visited the rocket range museum. Woomera is still an active Department of Defence test site but it feels slightly eerie and artificial. Theres a really nice outdoor swimming pool though After a lovely swim we </description>

                    <description>When we crossed the border into South Australia it seemed like we hadnt spent much time in the Northern Territory at all But then much of the NT will be covered during part 2 of our trip  With a new state came our second time change not that were all that concerned with what time it is though The oddly named town of Coober Pedy is known as the opal capital of the world.

                    <title>Kings Canyon  Uluru</title>
                    <description>I can see why the centre of Australia is called The Red Centre. It is just that And its as beautiful as it is striking. Kings Canyon was without a doubt one of the highlights of this trip. After an early start to the day the early mornings are definitely the best time for driving as its still cool we did the 6km hike around the rim of Kings Canyon. Its a steep climb to the top b</description>

                    <title>Alice Springs</title>
                    <description>We made it to Alice Springs Back to civilisation This town literally in the very centre of Australia is a lot bigger and bustlier than we had imagined it would be. It has a population of 28000 including a thriving Aboriginal community and the focus seems to be on art and culture. We had only intended to stay for a couple of nights but ended up staying for five nights as there was plenty to</description>

                    <description>After lots of goodbyes one last swim in the pool and stocking up on food we hit the road and drove right out of Camooweal. 15km down the road we finally we made it into the Northern Territory Cue the first time change during our trip Bizarrely the NT is half an hour behind Queensland so because daylight saving has ended in Victoria were now 1.5 hours behind Melbourne. Pretty strange w</description>

                    <description>As I type this we are sitting in our roasting van awaiting help. Miles from civilisation our van decided to spill oil and stop. For the mechanically minded out there the drive end bearing on the rear differential has dropped out. Or as Dean explained it to me our twowheeldrive vehicle is now a nowheeldrive vehicle. With no mobile coverage we were very lucky that a local came by within 5 </description>

                    <description>The other day we had a flat battery because I had unintentionally knocked the light switch on. Thankfully due to our awesome solar panel the battery was charged up enough to start the van after a couple of hours in the sun. Nice And the perfect excuse to take a break and watch movies while it was charging I cant help feeling that we are now entering into the real Australia. The east</description>

                    <description>After some more chillout time in PKs Jungle Bar we drove on to Port Douglas via the Daintree and Mossman. Such a beautiful area We had already holidayed in Port Douglas a few years ago so we only stayed for a day and a night. Even if we had wanted to stay for longer Port Douglas is way too expensive Full of exclusive resorts and boutiques youve got to have a decent budget to spend any </description>

                    <description>En route to Cooktown we stopped at the Mighty Palmer River Roadhouse for the night. Its one of those places in the middle of nowhere  a proper Australian outback rest stop. We went for a powered campsite but hadnt realised that everything runs on generators which are switched off during the night We set up camp in time to see the most amazing sunset. The colours were incredible and the </description>

                    <description>We had already spent an afternoon in Innisfail last time we were in the area but that had been on a Sunday and everything had been closed This time we were lucky to pass through on a Saturday. Innisfail was bustling and we visited the local market and strolled around town checking out the art deco architecture and the shops. The town isnt much to look at but theres actually more to it than</description>

                    <description>Our next stop was Mission Beach a very chilled out area thats made up of five small beachside settlements. Upon our arrival we went for a little drive to discover the area and promptly decided to stay put at Mission Bay Skydivers. This place is ace The dropzone has teamed up with the backpackers hostel and together they call themselves a skydiving resort. And thats essentially wh</description>
