The last day of our 6 week adventure. We had our first stop at Mildura to wash to ute. We got a phone call from Russell advising that there was an outbreak of rice blight at Kununurra and advised us to wash the ute just in case so the ute and camper trailer are now shiny clean for the drive home. After that the only stop was at Deniliquin to a quick grocery shop. We arrived home at 4pm and by 6pm we were mostly unpacked and the washing machine was well into our second load. We have had a great time away and have caught up with old friends and made some new friends. Now to plan the next trip !... read more

Renmark to Jerilderie The final day of our journey had begun at the fuel bowser, getting 13.1L @ 152.7c/L. Our travels today took us from the South-Australian/Victorian border through Mildura, Balranald and Moulamein to Deniliquin where we stopped for lunch with Lach’s grandparents. The drive seemed pretty quick as we made our dash home, trying to avoid the cold wet weather the winter has brought us. Majority of our belongings have been in storage, however due to the plague of mice (and their apparent interest in nesting amongst our bits and pieces, we need to relocate our contents into a shipping container before we fly to Europe in 9 days. We grabbed 13.0L @ 153.9c/L, before heading on our final stretch of bitumen towards the farm near Jerilderie. After travelling 582km’s this day, we received ... 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

So....... Job number... ?? This one was on a grain farm to assist with the harvest of barley, wheat and canola. We were staying in a small town called Jerilderie which had the basics but was still at least 1 1/2 hours to a BIG town / city. A nice little town, a few pubs etc. We were staying in a caravan park in a little cabin (courtasy of the farmer) so atleast we were "in town" and when we had time off we could go for little walks out and about. We were also close to the pool which was nice but closed until mid Decemeber due to recent flood water contamination. Recent flooding in the area had caused this harvest to be quite late. They were normally well and truely finished by Christmas, but ... read more
