So in summary, we love Sydney! After leaving the spuds, driving through Victoria, buying Suzi Sat Nav, crossing the New South Wales Border, sleeping in the car with a million layers on, hitting the road again, stopping for a night in a swish hotel/apartment and using a oven for the first time in months we made it! Boy that was a long drive! We were the ultimate tourists whilst we were there, seeing as much of the city as possible and checking out all the fun...

Oh it's a hard life working on the spuds. All the hard work paid off though and we are now officially tattie experts! After the fiasco of our last blog you'll be pleased to hear that this job went pretty well. We were met off the bus as promised, shown the field (paddock in spud farmer terms), where we'd be working, taken for food shopping and then driven to the caravan that'd we'd be calling home for the next while. In normal circumstances I would have prob...

It’s fair to say we are pretty relaxed about where we’re going to sleep for the n...

Ever since we’d been planning our trip we’d been looking forward to camper vanning it along the Great Ocean Road, it looked gorgeous in all the pics. It was a shame the weather hadn’t gotten any better so when we visited it was a wee bit chilly. The bikini & shorts had to stay packed away for a little bit longer & the hiking boots, trousers & hoodies had to come out to check out. So glad we’d been carting the warm clothes around Asia for mo...
