As I’m writing this entry we are back on the road after a visit with our friends Dennis and Christine. Yet again they have made us feel welcome and what starts out as a couple of days stretches into 12 days so easily. Now we are off again, manoeuvring our way through Geelong’s morning traffic and slowly heading towards Emma’s for Christmas. After leaving our base at Normanville we decided to do the Silo Art Trail which was conveniently on the way to Dennis...

Today is 11/11/18, the 100th anniversary of the end of WW1. We took the photo of these beautiful hand made poppies yesterday at Penneshaw's monument of remembrance on Kangaroo Island, SA. where we had gone for the day's visit. First though I must catch up from our time at Moorook and my last blog entry. We had a good few days at Moorook, made all the better with the company of Glenys and Malcolm, the couple whose van we parked near. Bob and Ellen on one side and...

Its a beautiful morning as I sit here along side the Murray at a lovely little spot called Moorook, about 40kms out of Renmark.

It's eight weeks today s...

We've had some great free camps along the Murray, enjoying the scenery and wildlife with campfires in the evenings and the boys have played just a few games of golf along the way. We've had some very memorable ...

The last entry on this blog saw us leaving the Murray in Victoria and here we are back again, well not quite! Although we have now started our Murray adventure with our friends Bob and Ellen we are actually presently settled along side the Mitta Mitta river at Tallangatta, a small town in Victoria's high country that was moved 8 kms west in the 1950's to make way for the expansion of Lake Hume. This pretty little spot is our first stop, just south of Albury Wadon...
