Back in the van again for another stint behind the wheel. Headed for Port Macquarie which is where we first started our journey on our own up the east coast! The weatheris getting really cold the further south we're getting, and it's back to wearing socks and jumpers - even thinking about buying some trainers. Had a wander into the town in the evening but hardly anyone around - can tell we're in the middle of winter now. We are no debating whether to hire ...

Was on the road to Brisbane early this morning in the hope of getting to dream world theme park by lunch time. About 4 hours later, we were there - not overly keen on paying the $132 for the 2 of us, but what the hell! Not quite Alton Towers, but was a good break from sitting in a van for 8 hours solid! There were 6 main rides - one of them we needed about 5 minutes to gain confidence for...a straight 250metre drop to the ground, that's after it had left us ha...

It didn't stop raining once through the night, so again, we had to pack up a soaking wet tent! Once packed though we went back top the light house and this time we saw loads of dolphins in the sea.

Of course th rain soon followed so we got back in the car to head North to Queensland and the Gold Coastwhere we planned to stop, it was only about 80km so it shouldn't take ...

We woke up again to more sodding rain so with nothing much to do we decided to do all our washing. With everything in the wash we did our food shoping for the next few days. It had brightened up by the time we got back so we hung our washing out which obviously was the best way to ensure that we would have on and off rain for the rest of the afternoon. We had a drive up to the light house on Cape Byron, this is the most Easterly point of Australia and also th...

It had been rainging in the night so we had to pack up a wet tent. Not the most desirable pastime at 8 in morning. We soo got on the road again though, this time heading North with no definate idea of where we were going to stay for the night. Our first stop off was Fredo's pies in a small town called Frederickton. A small pie shop that has over 50 varieties including crocodile, emu ostrich and kangaroo. We went for chicken, cheese, asaragus and pasta. It was de...
