The first time was due to the worst wind and rain that we had come across; it was too dangerous to continue driving, so pulled over for about 10 minutes. Heading to Echuca a truck came towards us and blew both vents, above the windscreen off, so once again the hazard lights went on...

Once settled we went into the gallery to look around, the Z...

The views were breathtaking, we were seeing more of what o...

Someone wasn’t happy but there were only bottles for sale.The next day we were at Woolworths by 8.30 and there was only 6 cartons of pepsi. As Alan got to them, one guy came al...
