We took Bertha on an exciting adventure along the Great Ocean Road from Adelaide to Melbourne, some 1200 KM's South East along some cliff hugging coastline. The scenery was amazing, the 12 apostles, London Bridge, Port Campbell, Mount Gambier, Torquay, Angelsea etc.. One thing we didn't count on was the weather, it was dreech! - Freezing at times, one night, in a place called Port Fairy, it was -3 overnight, and we were hudled in our tank of tin, I almost set fire to myself to keep warm but we just turned on the heating instead. The camper was a lap of luxury and considering it was free was a bargain!! - We got a relocation deal, the camper belonged to a company in Melbourne but someone had rented it one-way to Adelaide, we had 4 ... read more

Well we know where we're goin', but we don't know where we've been, and we know what we're knowin', but we can't say what we've seen. And we're not little children, and we know what we want, and the future is certain, give us time to work it out...... We're on the road to nowhere, come on inside, etc, etc. That's not strictly true, well maybe it was for the Talking Heads but we did really know that we were going to Adelaide and we were positive we've just left Perth. So on to South Australia, we've spent the last 4 months in Western Australia and we've now got a month left to get back to Sydney via Adelaide, The Great Ocean Road, Melbourne and Canberra. Adelaide is a beutiful city, much more so than Perth, ... read more

Shell Beach near Denham is a beach, which in places is five metres deep in shells. Over the years pieces of shell have blown onto the beach and formed a 'shell beach'. It was lovely when we went there as there were no other people, just the two of us and all the shells. I collected some pretty shells while Andrew played photographer setting up nice shots and running up hills to join me in them - very funny to watch. Enjoy. ... read more

The world's oldest living thing, this was a quick stop on the way to Shark Bay, or on the way from Shark Bay, I cannae remember, anyway, does it really matter? These 'things' are fossilised micro-organisms, so stick that in your pipe and smoke it Dr Twiseltoes, you said that I'd never learn anything about Chemistry, shit maybe he's right, maybe this is bioligy? I've digressed again but the pain never leaves you, the pain of Dr Twiseltoes, my 2nd year Chemistry teacher that is. Let me explain. We were in class, as required, and me and Mogga were at the front of the class dicking about as usual, the mad doctor then got us all up to watch an experiment, an experiment that we were about to replicate. So he exlplains what he doing and ... read more

This amazing spectacle "Staircase to the moon" only happens twice a year and only in 2/3 places in the world, one of which is Broome, North-Western Australia so off we popped to enjoy the wonder. Hundreds of people flocked to Town Beach and awaited the site, lots of hippies gathered in bare feet wafting incense and chanting. The number of people there didn't seem to affect the amazing atmosphere when the awaited site began to appear, there were gasps and clapping and then complete silence. I am not sure if the pictures do it justice, it's one of those things that you have to experience I think. Our last day in Broome was spent at Cable Beach, just enjoying the sunshine. The following day we moved Southwards to Coral Bay where the Ningaloo Reef is, on ... read more
