Adventures
Little Duna Lane
Well yesterday I finished the driveway. Woke early again to another spectacular pre-dawn view, although my phone had died over night so I wasn’t able to take a picture this time. Was a cold start, so I fired up the generator and tested the heater in the van. Worked a treat, but I soon discovered … Continue reading
Day 2 of driveway building
Why is it when you have the opportunity to sleep in it just doesn’t happen??? I woke at 6am (even though I didn’t set an alarm today) to singing birds and the sounds of the country. While it was certainly cold, I didn’t get the fog that was blanketing Melbourne. In fact I was greeted … Continue reading
This Road has gotta be built!
I feel like I am on the home stretch… one way or another in the next few days this road has got to be built!!! So I took two days of annual leave this week to finish the driveway. Was lucky to get the time off given how busy we are at work, but somehow … Continue reading

What a mess!!
This morning, Zac and I took an early morning drive to Violet Town to drop off the “Guest House” to its new home, giving me back my driveway at home!!!! We had had a late night at the O’Loans last night (pizza and beer), not getting home until about midnight, so was a little hard … Continue reading
On Hold and a Guest House!
Well yesterday I received the call from the builder I was dreading…. The shed building is on hold until September unless I can put a driveway in. The concreter visited the block on Wednesday to complete the pouring of the slab, but the driveway was still too wet and boggy so the concrete truck refused … Continue reading
So much is happening!!
Ok so I’m sorry, I never finished the last weekend at Little Duna 🙁 Truth was it was simply too cold to write at night up there that weekend… no seriously sitting around the fire if I took my hands out of my pockets they literally froze and I couldn’t type!! To put it in … Continue reading

Left a little later than usual last night, was just after 7:30pm by the time I pulled out the driveway, minus one usual passenger … Continue reading
