Despite being clean, no one slept very well and nearly everyone was up in the night at some point so in the end we didn't wake up until 9am. We sat outside and had coffee and then Nick walked into town to get the papers while I made everyone breakfast. Eventually we were ready to head into Port Fairy and it only took 15 minutes to get there. We drove through the town and found a park on the wharf, then walked up both banks of the Moyne River looking at the h...

Got up around 8.30am and most people were up and about (apart from last night's intruders) so we cranked up the generator and made coffee. Nick made everyone breakfast while I very slowly packed up the van. We were eventually on the road by 11am and Koroit was only an hour away. We have decided to stay in Koroit for the next three nights as we want to explore Port Fairy and Warrnambool, but caravan parks in both towns were too expensive and there is no free ca...

We approached it slightly differently today with Nick and I taking a son each for the morning and then after lunch I spent some time working with Anna while Nick worked with Katharine. It took a lot longer and was harder on Nick and I but it was good for...

Woke to the rain this morning and so no need to get out of bed! We all read for a while and only breakfast got us out of bed!

We spent the morning doing school, had an early lunch and then set off in the car to explore. This time we headed inland and drove to the next town of Heywood - quite pretty but nothing really there so we too...

Everyone slept in until about 830am and by the time we got up there was plenty of movement in the camp so we were able to start the day with a coffee. Breakfast seemed to take forever and then we got stuck into some serious schoolwork as everyone had missed out on maths over the last few days. We ran the generator for most of the morning as the camp was empty again and the day was too overcast for the solar panels to be very effective. Nick lit the fire and ...
