Campsite #3: McNamara Park, Broke - our first free bush camping experience! Campsite #4 Moss Vale Village Caravan Park Today was another tough day at the office - wine tastings in the Hunter Valley! We celebrated surviving our first free bush camping experience the night before. It was surprisingly pleasant, and at the very least meant we had more money to spend on wine. I (Janelle) even managed a hot shower, albeit an outdoor one. It actually wasn't too bad th...

Just when we thought it couldn't get any better, it did! South West Rocks was the place where our trip became a holiday (albeit after a disappointing daytime stop at Nambucca heads - one challenge on our trip so far has been finding good playgrounds to stop at (a future travel-writing project perhaps...?).

Our sta...

Presently, the wind is raging outside but thanks to Jonathan's myriad of adjustments to th...

We have dried out from the wet start and both Angelina and Esther have succumbed to sleep in the backseat as we travel on the familiar pacific highway. Meanwhile, Jonathan is capably at the helm. We've both snacked on car-made sandwiches and barley sugars and are blissfully feeling like an old married couple while...
