Adventures
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
Violet Town
Big day today… we settled on our new 36 acre get away block in Violet Town. Settlement was at the Benalla NAB this afternoon, but my solicitor advised that she couldn’t make it up there and would have to hire another local solicitor to attend on her behalf… to me it just sounded like more expense so … Continue reading

A Covert Mission
Under the cover of darkness, 10 weary travelers rolled into Vermont South after 5 1/2 weeks on the road and more than 12,000 kms covered around this great country of ours. Was to be the perfect surprise when our loyal readers wake to find we are home… however I think we got the biggest surprise … Continue reading
Orroroo
Ok, so at first the heading doesn’t look like it makes sense, but that is where we actually are… Orroroo! A very slow pack down in Coober Pedy yesterday as Fi and Kate headed off about 8:30am to find the perfect gemstone. Mark and I completed the packing and hooked up the vans while the … Continue reading
Coober Pedy – Who would have thought???
Day started with a trip into town so Kate could shop for opals. We all piled into the first store where we met a nice guy who let all the kids have a gem stone and also gave each family a small bag of raw opals that we can mine when we get home. “If … Continue reading
