We both had the worst night's sleep yet with pissed idiots wondering through the campsite, drag racing and police chases going on through out the night so got up early and packed up with lots of enthusiasm! We were on the road by 930am and headed for Gippsland to a free camp beside Cape Liptrap Coastal Park. The drive was very pretty through green hilly countryside but it was hard for Nick as the crosswinds were strong and the roads really potted so the van b...

Another terrible night's sleep but woke up to sunshine so we decided to skip schoolwork for the day and spend the day away from Rosebud as it is sapping all our energy! The Sansoni family decided to move on today, heading for the Murray, so we said goodbye and headed for Auhurs Seat, a state park in the hills behind Rosebud. We took a small winding back road leading up to the park and found a gate open with a sign showing a car park about 3kms away. We took ...

We decided to skip schoolwork and headed out after breakfast to explore. We drove along the coast road towards Mornington and passed some pretty towns such as Mount Martha but nothing that made us stop the car. The beach at Mornington looked pretty with the painted beach huts standing in a lin...
