Saturday 28th March 2015 What a special day! Started off with John’s weekend breakfast of bacon, silver beet and poached egg on toast, then off in the new van on our 16th wedding anniversary. Can’t get much better than that! We traveled rather sedately, the roads were wet from the light drizzle we were experiencing and Rags was very aware that he had a new van in tow. Normally he watches his rear view and gets a little stressed when someone sits on his tail. We now have a rear view camera displaying what is behind us and Rags was quite content to let them pass us when they could. Lang Lang was our first stop, this little town only about 50kms from Somerville. We walked up and down the main street of this well ... read more

Hi blog followers. We are now at Sale, Victoria and spent yesterday exploring around Sale. First up we headed for Maffra (just North) and were lucky enough to have the Vintage car show and museum open on the day. It was great to see the history of cars from the very beginning to modern day. It was a bonus to see Peter Brocks cars from his early days. See Photos. From there we did the triangle from Sale to Paradise Beach/Golden Beach (on the 90 Mile Beach) to Seaspray and then back to Sale. It was great to see a storm building over the beach and get some photos. On the way back to Sale we stopped off at the historic swing bridge which is Australia's oldest and largest swing bridge still in operation. Today we ... read more

Day 1607 6 April 2013. Saturday morning brings a slightly warmer morning than some we have experienced recently although still a little on the cool side it was much easier to get out of bed to start the day. Oh yes, it’s my birthday today! I nearly forgot, but Andy was not going to forget, he was keen to take me out for a meal which meant of course we needed to be in civilisation to do so. We had options, do we stay in Omeo? Or do we move on to the next town today? It was a small conundrum, but there was another plan in the making that we were considering for our time constraints and that meant head south to Inverloch, why Inverloch? Well for our regular readers or perhaps I should say ... read more

Endlich sind wir in einem Motel in Sale angekommen . Doppelzimmer, Bett mit weissen Laken!!! und Frúhstúck Salon...mit soviel Kultu kónnen wir gar nicht mehr um! Jetzt aber erst einmal vom Anfang.... Um 8 Uhr sind wir in Lorne gestartet. Babsi ist gefahren, weil mir auf den schlángel Strassen schlecht wird. Auf dem Princess Blv. an Melbourne vorbei und immer lang bis nach Sale. Kaum haben wir den ersten Fahrerwechsel gemacht schlummerte Babsi auch schon auf ihrem Beifahrersitz. Mit der Zeit wechselte der Blv. in eine normale Schnellstrasse um, welche uns durch Kleinstádte fúhrte. Betty fing an Theater zu machen... wenn man die Kupplung in den unteren Gángen durchtritt...z.B. um an einer Ampel oder Kreisel zu halten, geht die Schleuder immer aus. Fazit der Geschichte: ich fahre in den Kreisverkehr rein, trete die Kupplung durch und ... read more
