    Overnight at Woolgoolga

    1. september 2022, Australien ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

    Stopped at Woolgoolga Caravan Park for the night, really nice spot right on the beach. The park is also dog friendly, which is handy to know. Beautiful afternoon to walk along the beach and looking forward to an early night 😴Læs mere

    The Pines Campground, Watagans Forest

    2. september 2022, Australien ⋅ 🌧 11 °C

    We were woken this morning by a Bush turkey destroying our rubbish bin 🙄 which prompted an earlier start than we were planning. But it worked out well as I got a beautiful walk/run along the beach as Bart packed up the rooftop tent 🤗.

    After breakfast we headed off, stopping at a cool smokehouse Cafe for lunch at Hawkes Nest before continuing on to Cooranbong.

    Driving through Cooranbong I was scanning every bus that went past hoping it would be Travs bus, but it worked out that we missed him by about 5 minutes 😭

    After a beautiful drive though Watagans State Forest, we arrived at the Pines Campground, a free camp-site that is nestled in beautiful pine trees, they even have toilets! Though there is no reception at all.

    Trav and Abi arrived for tea, which we managed to have before the rain set in! Thankfully Trav brought a gazebo which we all sat under once the rain started! Abi was the most sensible one and went home for the night, out of the rain 🌧    Læs mere

    Heading to Sydney

    3. september 2022, Australien ⋅ 🌧 14 °C

    The rain didn't let up all night, we woke to find that Trav had pretty much been washed out, where his swag was, there was a pool of water. He ended up spending the night in the back of his car!

    It was even too wet to try and cook breakfast. So we packed up camp in the rain and headed into Cooranbong to get breakfast.

    While Trav headed home to drop off all his wet stuff we headed to bunnings for an umbrella (🙄 the things you forget to bring) and ran into Tammy 🤗

    Now on our way down to Sydney, but looks like it's going to be a very slow trip with the M1 being closed from Wyong with a crash 😬    Læs mere

    Sydney Stopover

    3. september 2022, Australien ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

    After a very detoured trip down Bart drove past quite a few points of interest to show Trav on the way to Dad and Mum's. It's been a very long time since Bart has been home again so it was a bit of a trip down memory lane.

    John and Cyndy were at dad and mums when we arrived which worked out so well, was great to catch up with them again. Cyndy was so surprised how good my hand looked (seeing she hadn't seen it since my operation) had a lovely afternoon chatting.

    Bart, Trav and I went out for tea with Dad and Mum to a lovely little Asian restaurant in Chester Hill. Followed by a late night chatting about the autobiography that pop is writing and looking though old photos. Trav was very interested in all the history.    Læs mere

    Tranquil Burrill Lake

    4. september 2022, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C

    We had a lovely Fathers Day morning at Dad and Mum's, then left with Trav to have another look around Birrong and Sefton before leaving Trav who headed back to Newcastle while we went south.

    Thought we'd also drive past our first house in Engadine (seeing we were so close). Then went down the old Pacific Highway to the Sea Cliff bridge. We were on it before I realised and it was quite a bit shorter than I expected. Bart stopped on the other side so I could get a photo 📸

    The South Coast is really beautiful with a rugged coastline, we had rain on and off the whole drive and the sea was rather wild which added to the experience.

    After stopping at Thirroul for lunch, we continued down the coast passing Shellharbour and Kiama detouring to drive through Berry, stopping briefly in Nowra before ending up at Burrill Lake, Ulladulla.

    We were waiting to see if anything inside the tent got wet seeing we had packed up on Saturday morning in the rain but were pleasantly surprised to find everything inside nice and dry 🤗

    Think we'll have an early night tonight 😴    Læs mere

    Pub from River Cottage Australia

    Scrubby Creek Rest Area

    5. september 2022, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 9 °C

    We woke to a beautiful day, the rooftop tent managed to dry out overnight which was great.

    First stop today was a lovely short walk at Dophin Point then we headed off. We stopped at Central Tilba (from River Cottage) a heritage town which is super cute. Stocked up on some local cheeses then looked for somewhere to stop to have lunch.

    As usual when you want a rest stop you don't pass one 🙄 so we just pulled into a carpark in Cobargo to make some toasted sandwiches for lunch. As soon as we left Cobargo we came across a rest stop which wasn't on any of the apps (always the way)

    We then headed through Bega and the cute towns of Merimbula and Pambula before stopping at Ben Boyd National Park to do the short Pinnacles track which was great. It was after 5 by the time we left Eden to head to a free rest area just off the highway called Scrubby Creek.

    It's literally right next to the highway so not the quietest but we are the only ones here tonight (at the moment), and it's free 🤷🏽‍♀️

    All set up now and ready to have some cheese and crackers before tea 🤗    Læs mere

    12The artist painted himself, he is the one kneeling

    Eden to Traralgon

    6. september 2022, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

    Left scrubby Creek Rest Area after breakfast, and continued south, stopped at Cann River for a coffee, and then stopped at Bairnsdale to have a look through St Mary's Church. Last time we came through here we read about it but didn't have time to stop.

    The whole ceiling is painted like the Sistine Chapel (definitely not as grand) but still impressive. These murals were painted by Francesco Floreani, an Italian painter, who studied at Turin then moved to Australia in 1927 he couldn't find work (due to the great depression ) but came across the catholic church in 1931 and asked the priest if there was any work around. Once the priest heard he was an artist he told him he could decorate the interior of the church. So between 1931-1938 he painted the ceiling of the church.

    He even painted himself in the crucifixion scene, and the priest of the church. Francesco is the one kneeling down and the priest is the older man.

    We then headed into Sale for lunch and planned to stop at Gormondale but the free rest area was non existent when we got there 🤦🏽‍♀️ after much discussion - I wanted to go south to a national park (which was a bit over an hour out of the way) and Bart thought that was crazy, seeing we'd have to come back the same way.

    Unfortunately common sense prevailed and we headed towards Melbourne and stopped at a Big 4 caravan park for the night. Was handy because we were able to get all our washing done and ready for the real start of our trip tomorrow night 🤗    Læs mere

    Trafalgar Holden Museum

    7. september 2022, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

    Heading to Melbourne Bart saw a sign for this Museum so we detoured off to have a look.

    I was not expecting it to be so big or have so much history. A lovely gentleman called Jake took us around, even into the back work area to show us what they were working on for the museum.

    Even if you weren't into Holden's or even cars in general, there's lots to see. Even the history about JA Holden who started in the 1800's making saddles and leather items (who died at 52!). It's definitely worth a look through if you're ever in the area.    Læs mere

    On board 🤗 The Spirit

    7. september 2022, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

    We got to the Port of Melbourne early, parked up and went for a walk around the area. I hadn't read all the information I'd been sent, so didn't realise I couldn't take any fresh vegetables with me, and had to throw them all out 😭 I know now for next time!

    We boarded early and found our room. I didn't realise we were going to get a porthole cabin so was pleasantly surprised to find we had one.

    Was excited about this trip till Bart looked up the swell and said it was 6m (think I would rather have not known 🤢) let's see how we feel in the morning 😄    Læs mere
