Henry left at 8.00 to travel up to Skydive Nagambie (approx 2 Hours drive) whilst Debby and I went for a coffee on her way to work. Debby works on the 18th floor which has fabulous views of the city. Today I planned to visit some very good friends of Bev's (Cilla, Pete and Sue) for the evening and stay overnight. I dropped off my overnight bag with Debby to collect at 4.00 pm so I would be hands free. First stop Tourist Information at Federation Square. Arme...

Breakfasted on baked beans on toast, I'd forgotten how good they were. Packed picnic of ham and tuna sandwiches with the famous 'Tim Tams' (chocolate biscuits like 'Penguins'). Off for 8.15am to a beautiful day.

Just as we were about to purchase the $29 summer sleeping bag, w...

The colour of the lake is brilliant blue from November to March and then reverts to a brown colour. There is no logical explanation for this change. After taking some initial ...

The start of a 3 day journey to Melbourne via the Great Ocean Road. We started late but with a full cooked breakfast (cooked by Nicola). In Oz there seems to be two styles of B+B, the normal one where the guest sleeps and eats and the DIY B+B where everything is provided and you do the cooking. This is much more common and in this case tasted great! The accommodation in McClaren Vale was a very pleasant two room garden flat with all mod cons which made it harder...

Our final morning in Adelaide saw us pack our bags and head for the South Australian Museum for the morning. Very easy to find on North Terrace (the older part of the city has a strict grid system bounded by Terraces on each side inside the ring of parks. We decided that the best use of our time was on the guided 3/4 hour tour so we could get an overview. Nicola particularly wanted to see the Aboriginal Art section. Our guide was a good humoured, middle-aged wom...
