Robe to Hahndorf Woke up early to the normal sound of rain hitting the fibreglass roof (this does not seem an unusual so far in this trip). We packed the camper and explored the town of Robe before hitting the road to Kingston SE - with large side-sweeping winds which we were soon to face head-on dampening our efforts at fuel economy! We fueled up at BP (Kingston) - 53.75L @ 151.9c/L Noticed a large lobster there at Kingston, if it wasn't breakfast time I'm sure Lach would have defoured the seafood there! The boring drive to Meningie was uneventful - with the occasional salt lake and vast acreage of land uninhabitable for most species. Lach asked 'How long till Woods Well?' - I replied 'you blinked & missed it!' We crossed the oldest bridge ... read more

Princetown to Mount Clay State Forest This morning we awoke to a beautiful sunrise after a very showery night. We headed to Gibson Steps along the scenic Great Ocean Road, where we could admire an apostle or two in a new light (or slightly less overcast anyway!). The sand at the bottom of the steps was surprisingly soft, but still no comparison with whitehaven beach! The Twelve Apostles seemed to reveal such beautiful changes of colour within the rock. On our drive west we could not resist checking out 'Cheese World' just south of Warrnambool - just happened to get there in time for taste testing. We're thinking the vintage cheddar block we bought might not last long. We fuelled up at APCO (Warrnambool) 51.42L @ 146.9c/L. On our visit to Port Fairy Wharf we saw ... read more

Jerilderie to Cumberland River Hi guys, thought we would start a blog since we have a few months of touring around Australia - it's a bit easier for you to follow where we are and what we're up to! We started our trip 0km on Trip A odometer, departing the farm at Jerilderie after filling the Triton with diesel. Had a late start, so made our way through Shepparton and down the highway, bypassing Melbourne towards the Great Ocean Road - and the start of our Australian Adventure! We fueled up at Little River (near Werribee) where price was 147.9c/L, and continued on our way where we stopped at Aireys Inlet for a look at Split Point Lighthouse. With all intentions on staying the night at Lorne, our wallets just weren't fat enough for the $50 ... read more
