Our last day in the north…
Well today is our last day in the North before we turn south and begin our journey home. Was a slow start with at least three of the parents making the most of nowhere to be by enjoying a sleep in. Won’t say who, but I was up before 7am as always (why can’t I … Continue reading

No stops along the way, it was … Continue reading
Mataranka Hot Springs
Who cares about cars?? Not us, not today! Today is a day of rest, and where better to relax than sitting in the Mataranka Hot springs.
