When mum said we were going to Paynesville we thought it was painsville which didn't sound too good for a holiday. There was a LOT of roadwork on the way. We stopped to look at interesting shops andЧитать далее

Cheese!

Leaving Eden we knew we'd miss waking up to the amazing bellbirds. They echoed everywhere even though they are so tiny. It's clever that you can't tell where their chiming sound is coming from.
WeЧитать далее

We went inside a sheep
12 апреля 2018 г., Австралия ⋅ 🌙 21 °C
A short stop at a bakery in Goulburn for snacks, and we went to the giant Merino! We parked near its butt and climbed inside to look out the eyes. It's a big sheep farming area producing lots of wool.
Finally we're in Newcastle!!

After a very long day in the car we spent the night in Holbrook. It's a pretty small town and the only cafe open was a Mexican one, so that was lucky because we love tacos. Our cabin was small!
