DAY 140 Jesus it was a cold night, but as the day had been so hot it was a worthy trade off, we slept soundly in our beds, whilst the wildlife went about its business in its own sweet way. We can't believe we have been away 20 weeks today and it has gone in a blink of an eye. A lady told me that two Possums were fighting last night, and one of them fell out of the tree with a hell of a thump. We found loads of fur just by the trailer this morning but it all must have happened before we went to bed as we never heard a thing and everyone was tucked away in their caravans before we went to bed. I must just say one funny thing about caravan ... read more

DAY 138 I heard Andy get out of bed and could hear footsteps around the tent, he reappears and says “Dennis is still outside but he had changed trees”, excellent our very own camp Koala is still hanging round with us. Andy went to get the kettle on and spark up the laptop, I followed shortly after with the breakfast things. Thankfully it is a fairly warm morning, though still a bit cloudy there is no sign of any rain. I hope that it stays that way. I did comment in the kitchen this morning but a lady said, “Oh No we need the rain”, I agree I know South Australia and many other parts of Australia need the rain, I am purely thinking from a selfish point of view that camping is a lot easier ... read more

DAY 136 Waking up to a warm morning in the Coorong National Park, the sun was strong and we enjoyed lying in bed and soaking up this sunshine. We had a busy morning sorting a few things out and wandering around this wilderness of a camp site. There were a few campers here, one or two have gone already, We admired the views of the flats. I drove up to the loo’s, they were too far away to walk! They are long drop loos as well, yuck, but at least there are loos here and I have to say that these are some of the cleanest long drop loos I have come across.. When I came back we had a light breakfast of tea and cereal. Packed away the tent and repacked the trailer. Wandering down ... read more

DAY 134 Throughout the night the Koala’s were calling into the darkness with their soulful bellow, trying to entice a mate. This morning we were up early and the Koala’s were still bellowing so we put on our boots and walked off down the track to see where this noise was coming from. It was only 8.00am and we were on a full yomp in the bright morning sunshine. Every time we heard them bellow it sounded like we were getting closer. Strangely enough Koala’s are solitary creatures but the sound suggested they were a large group. It may have been a swingers club for Koala’s. On and on we walked, bellow after bellow we walked, until we came to part of the forest that was dense vegetation, and so different in colour, obviously newer shoots, ... read more

DAY 132 Title Time & Lime We got up earlier today as we are moving on from Warrnambool, so a quick breakfast of tea and toast before packing up camp. Just before we leave town we head over to Rays Outdoors to return the faulty camp kitchen that we had purchased the day before. We were disappointed; however there is no point in paying all that money for something that is not complete. They took it back without any fuss, and frankly so they should. So still without a table we thought we would pop into the large Bunnings next door (equivalent to B&Q in UK), we had a look around the outdoor area, looking for picnic tables we asked for some help as we could not see what we wanted, they took us to a ... read more
