The trip is over
It is always a sad day pack up day… means there is no more fun and have to go back to work tomorrow đ At least at Little Duna we can have a late check out when ever we need it… I know the owners!! Today was an especially sad packup for me as I … Continue reading
Just another day
Today was just another day. I awoke again to the tranquil sounds of birds, but while it was late (*cough* 9am *cough*), there was little incentive to get out of bed as I could tell it was a miserable overcast day. I had heard a brief shower go over about 6am and today was forecasting … Continue reading
Anzac Day at Little Duna
“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.At the going down of the sun and in the morningWe will remember them.” Ode, the fourth stanza of the poem For the fallen by Laurence Binyon (1869â1943 I awoke this morning to the sounds of birds chirping … Continue reading
A Little Duna Easter
Ok…Ok… I’m sorry, I didn’t blog over the weekend, but we were just having too much fun, and there wasn’t really a chance to sit down and think through writing a blog, so I’ll just do a quick summary to make up for it!!! We left after work on Thursday night after a much more … Continue reading
65mm overnight
Looks like we made the right decision to leave last night with Violet Town topping the States rainfall will 65mm overnight. http://www.weeklytimesnow.com.au/news/national/rain-relief-for-victorian-farmers/story-fnkfnspy-1226878733274 Violet Town topped the state with 65mm overnight. Seems it was worth the shitty wet drive home! I wonder if the creek is running yet? Hope the quad bike was on high enough … Continue reading
Evacuate Evacuate!!
So last night just after we had finished our lovely lamb roast cooked in the Cobb, we made the decision to abandon ship and head home đ We probably would have waited it out if we didn’t have the dogs with us, but where we had setup camp was turning into a lakeside retreat, with … Continue reading
Met the Neighbour and Lake Duna
Well we woke yesterday to a drab and dreary day. Was very overcast and not really inspiring to do all that much really. The dogs were spooked all night, especially Kushi who kept running over to the neighbours block barking. We just couldn’t figure out what it was that had him so spooked, and when … Continue reading
Panoramas
As I sat here this morning drinking my coffee admiring the lovely woodland view, I thought I really should take a panorama to share the view with everyone. Then I thought why not take a panorama from each of the corners of the block. So I jumped on the quaddie (hope I didn’t wake Fi) … Continue reading
Jokes by firelight
Well we are back at Little Duna and once more camping. Was a slow start today, had a bit of shopping to do to make sure we had all the things we forgot the first time round and I don’t think we even left home until well after 1pm. Still think there are a few … Continue reading
Little Duna
Well it is official, we have camped on our new block, however I think this was also our most unprepared trip ever!! With Fi and I working last week, we didn’t have a lot of time to prep the van for our trip. Also, knowing we had to come back Sunday for Amy’s Birthday, we … Continue reading
