Day 1 (12/10/2018) Went to the weighbridge & weighed the caravan on the way to Traralgon. Came in at 2660kgs, so well under the limit. Ball weight a bit heavy at 240kgs, but we will learn to load it a bit differently & adjust what we carry. Arrived at Traralgon just on 12 Noon & set up. Rest of the day spent at the Lions convention Day 2 (13/10/2018) Spent all day at the Lions convention. Day 3 (14/10/2018) Departed Traralgon at 8.00AM. Stopped for a late lunch at Cann River, before arriving at Merimbula at 2.45PM. Set up the caravan & during the evening had electrical issues. Found 10A fuses in place when they should be 20A. Not impressed. Went about looking for all other issues with the caravan & making notes for everything to ... read more

Day 9 (4/11/2017) Went to the local produce market to have a look around. Whilst not a large market, there certainly were some interesting things. Deb, as you would expect, went straight to the wine tasting. She also tried a free sample of some natural heat cream on her shoulder. It seemed to have some effect & offered some relief, so purchased a couple of small jars as you do not need much. Made locally by a lady who grows all her own ingredients, we cannot wait to take a look at the website (www.saarinenorganics.com). After a light lunch of fish, we took a walk around the Shady Gully park. The amount if bird life around here is extraordinary. We have also seen kangaroos, a wombat & several lizards. Day 10 (5/11/2017) Did the washing since ... read more

Day 1 (27/10/2017) Left Cranbourne North at 8:00AM. Start KM 96,239 Arrived Stratford 10:45AM. Wanted to get out before too many trucks headed East. Relatively easy run up until the stretch between Traralgon & Sale, encountering numerous roadworks which made progress a lot slower than expected. Arrived at Stratford on the River Caravan Park to find that we were placed at the far end of the park, quite a long way from the toilets. Went up the road to the Stratford Bakery for lunch, where we had the finest pies we had tasted pretty much in our lifetime. After that it was next door to the Shaws Butcher for some wonderful meats to get us through the next 2 evenings. But before we can start holidaying, it is off the short 15KM into the Sale Ibis ... read more

Day 1 (2/5/2017) Left Cranbourne at 4.15PM. Stopped at Wangaratta at 8.25PM to fill up with diesel & have dinner. Arrived at Indi Bridge at midnight. Day 2 (3/5/2017) Woke up to a chilly morning of -6C, but a beautiful view right on the Upper Murray River. It was a cold night but slept really soundly. Set up the generator while having a 10AM breakfast. Went fishing & caught a nice Brown Trout first cast. Spent the rest of the day relaxing in the sun & enjoying several drinks. The generator did a fantastic job keeping everything running. Before it started to get cold, gathered lots of firewood to set up a large bonfire to keep us warm. Took a while to get the fire started, but a few toilet tissues soaked in petrol fixed all ... read more

Day 20 (23/11/16) Rainy day today. After being up most of the night with the caravan roof leaking, have decided to stay in to make sure we don’t get flooded out. Day 21 (24/11/16) Up early for the 90KM drive to Woods Point, an old gold mining town. It took ages to get there, with around 50KM of narrow, nasty gravel road shared with semi trailers. Not much to see, depending on what things you find interesting. On the way back we saw a huge Wedge Tail Eagle. Unfortunately it happened so fast there was no time to get the camera out. We drove to Lake Eildon lookout where the views were spectacular. Next we headed to Jamieson Brewery which I was dying to see, only to find them closed for renovations. Not happy!!! Went to ... read more
