Well, we've made it... After raining last night, we awoke to a clear, sunny day for our pack up and departure from Ballarat. Not ony that, but our fears of a dismal pack up, caused by wet walls etc, were unfounded and unwarranted, as mostly it had dried up and disappeared by the time we needed to fold the walls up. It took us two hours to get underway, (we had well and truly settled in at Ballarat), but only an hour and a half to drive to Halls Gap. As an experi...

Ok, we're finally back home again, after another huge day out at Sovereign Hill and dinner with Tristan, Meegan, Jade and Jasmine (Jo's brothers family who have recently relocated to Melbourne... crazy people!!). Sorry it's late again, but it wouldn't have felt right telling family we need to leave, cause I've got loyal, dedicated readers at home waiting for the next installment...

It was an hour and a half drive, but through some beautiful rural country that looked just ...

Well, we had our biggest sleep-in of the trip this morning. We all stayed in bed until 7.30am, although I jumped up at 6am to turn on the heater, and it took that long for the icicles inside the caravan to melt. Yes folks, it's still bloody cold.
