Daylesford - “All aboard”

We were lent a car to go exploring, so set off to Daylesford Market. Actually the market was less like a produce and craft market and more like a large car boot sale. However, it enabled us to buyRead more

A “must see” stop along the great ocean road, these sandstone pillars were originally called “sow and piglets”

Beautiful pics, and Bunny’s interpretation of standing at the bow of the Titanic
Lucky a gust of wind didn’t lift her off the platform and over the edge
Bun said that you’d missed it during your travels. Jessica and Chris also missed it due to the crowds. One good thing about coronavirus is that there are almost no Chinese tourists, so everywhere is pretty quiet.
We have spent a few days with relatives and we are now back on the road.
Things have changed a great deal in a few days. We feel slightly removed from the whole event as we are not getting bombardedRead more
Showed Hilary the vid of the spider, OMG, not the reaction I was expecting... “If you think I’m going out there with these things in the bedroom your out of your mind!!!!”... a little harsh I feel 🤣
A bit OTT. It was very friendly and quite harmless, just a big Huntsman spider.
The goal of the day was to visit the western coast of the Great Ocean Road and return again to the same campsite for the night. After a bit of a lzay morning we headed towards the rough coastline. TheRead more
Mark and I sat on that beach in Port Campbell ten years ago with a bottle of wine for so long that all the restaurants were closed and we had to beg some snack joint owner to please make us some fries at 21:30 😂
🤣 that's great. Happy to see you guys are able to relive that through our blog
On Friday we drove back to Macedon through Melbourne. The Grand Prix is due to be racing this weekend but we drove past a large sign saying that it was cancelled. Life changes so fast.
We stopped offRead more
The deposit for Bertha has come through and we meet on Saturday to hand her over. Time has flown by so fast.

This is the home to the 12 apostles, several extraordinary gorges and on yesterday at least witnesses at every turn. 7 of the original 8 limestone rocks still stand out of the ocean 160 feet high.Read more
“Cape Otway Lighthouse is the oldest surviving lighthouse on mainland Australia and considered the most significant. Built in 1848, the lighthouse known as the ‘Beacon of Hope,’ sits 90 metresRead more
Mixed emotions when Hilary and I visited the Lighthouse, great views and landscapes - good times, not such luck with a parking ticket left on the car - sad times. We were told that we didn’t need to pay the fine, mmmm not too sure that was the correct thing to do, maybe facing something for an unpaid fine (with interest) when we go back. 😉
We didn’t pay for the parking when we were there and didn’t see any signs requesting payment. Maybe, with your interest accumulating, they’ve made the parking free for everyone else. As you didn’t pay, I don’t think you’ll get a visa to be allowed back in to Aussie 😞, you know what they are like about convicts.
Before going on our world trip we left a goodbye present for our nephew Morris: a puzzle of the world. Australia is one piece of his puzzle, but for us today Australia seemed like a puzzle of aRead more
Morris is not ok with you guys moving around the globe 😂 when making the puzzle he insists oom Machiel and tante Susanne are still in New Zealand because we told him so a while ago
Aww! 😅 Happy to hear that you are keeping him up to date, and that he still makes the puzzle!

I didn’t know Bunny could drive a train 👍
And she was very good at it too
She’s been learning in case she needs another job when we get home.
