We left Rocky Cape surrounded by thick smoke only to find just a few kms down the road, beautiful clear sunshine. Although not as bad as this place, we have since come across a few smoky areas. We've had many concerned calls from people on the mainland, checking on us as the bush fires seem to be making big news over there. We have been lucky though, not being effected by the fires or floods as some people we have met. We continued on from Nth West Tasmania down...

With Christmas and New Year Celebrations behind us we made our way down to Melbourne, stopping a few days in Shepperton before booking into Ashleigh Gardens Caravan Park to await our ferry crossing. After a lengthy boarding process and a smooth crossing we are now here in Tasmania and stopping at our first free camp which is just out of Burnie on the north coast. It's a beautiful spot right next to the beach and we are sharing it with the fairy penguins who come ...

We have spent a lot of time with Josh and Ellie this month. Emma has started work now at a Childcare centre so we have bee...

We did a day trip to "James Bond" island, where "The man with the golden gun" was partl...

Still heading up inland towards Darwin, we stopped at free camps, enjoying lazy days and meeting new friends along the way. After a quick fuel and food stop in Katherine we headed out to Edith Falls, another great spot that we visited two years ago. With good walks and swimming in beautiful rock pools, it's easy to loose a few days there. We had a mishap just out of Camooweal, before Katherine, where we had a stone flick up and cracked our windscreen which neede...
