Here we are in Tasmania with Christmas and the New Year celebrations well and truly over. It’s now time to recap our journey since my last blog. We left Emma’s and headed down towards Victoria, staying 2 nights in Gundagai where we have been before. We explored the town and admired the beautiful unique miniature cathedral made from marble at the visitor centre. This masterpiece was made by Frank Rusconi who also sculpted the “Dog on the Tucker Box that Gun...

After leaving Tibooburra, we detoured to check out the little town of Milparinka with only a population of 12 people.

And we’re on the move! After so long being in the same place because of COVID and then buying a house, we are finally hitting the road again and it’s a great feeling. The completion date of our house purchase got put back a few days to 4th September so we only had a couple of hours that afternoon to do the final inspection and enjoy some time there. Inspection done, we cracked open a couple of bottles of bubbly and a few beers with family before we had to p...
