One of the trips from Melbourne was up to visit Lea's sister Trey, kinda where it all started from the test run some 11 months ago. It was a great catch up, staying with Trey in her new house that was now finished! (Except for the landscaping, a mammoth project ahead for Trey, given the block is over 2000 square metres). Some more kicking back and cruising around was on the agenda, along with yummy dinners, and some quality catching-up time. The girls did manag...

Upon returning to Melbourne from Merimbula, we were greeted at the airport by Lisa and Torah. Totally spun out to see our favourite 1 year old standing and walking around, not crawling as we remembered! We were to spend quite a bit of time with the Morgans at our new home-away-from-home, using their place as a base to catch up with friends and family. They put up with our coming and going and changing plans, showed us the sights of Melbourne, took us out for lov...

We crossed into our 6th state about late morning and cruised through the many lovely towns along the way - Portland (where a massive oil rig was docked for repairs), Port Fairy, and Warrnambool to name a few, before hitting the Great Ocean Road. We stopped the night at Port Campbell and were lucky to get a site for Deefa26, due to it being the Australia Day long weekend combined with our nemesis - school holidays. A cute little town with a great pub feed and big...

After leaving Victor Harbour we continued east, crossing the mighty Murray River via car ferry at the little town of Wellington. Our journey was on more of a schedule now, the passing of Lee's uncle meant we had to get to Melbourne for a flight to Merimbula for the funeral. We took in the coastal sights, making our way through Kingston SE and the lovely town of Robe that we'd heard about, stopping at Mt Gambier for the night. After treating ourselves to a café ...

After leaving Adelaide, we spent the day travelling down the beautiful Fleurieau Peninsula, through the wine region of McLaren Vale (no, we didn't stop - we hadn't recovered from the Barossa), making our way down to Victor Harbour. We spent the next day sightseeing. First stop was Granite Island, where we chose to walk out across the bridge to the island, instead of taking the horse-drawn tram. Lee was impressed with the fact that although the tram weighed 8 ton...
