Well what a wild, wet and windy night. I have been lying in bed this morning wondering when its going to stop because soon my bladder will burst! Luckily we found this spot in the middle of nowhere in Grampians National Park and we're on a bit of a hill because most of the water has run off and this morning there is now a stream down the hill where there was not one yesterday – it really did pour down! Sach has come out and made another huge bonfire –...

Alarm went off again at 4am – still set for the World Cup Soccer – back to sleep until 7:30 (a bit early) and up we got at 8. Bathroom found this morning, so got to wash dishes from the night before, a bit of a face wash without soap and pack the trailer. Not too thrilled – I must say the old temper seems to be showing its ugly head – we are well & truly into our trip now – as Sach said – no more warm houses and home cooked...

Only got up at about 10am after going to bed so late. A late start but we decided we would head off to begin our trip properly today. After the girls had set up the train set and played a bit, breakfast of toast & coffee – we waved our goodbyes to Uncle Baden and Jill – thanks so much for the wonderful hospitality once again, its been too long! Hope to see you again real soon! Off towards Warrnambool at a rate of knots – late again 12:45 or ...

Up in the morning – Sach had gotten up and was trying to avoid the kids and get a bit of shut-eye. Jill had stayed up a bit after I did getting some bread on (they make their own) & Tenille had heard it when she got up with Sach in the morning – so she desperately wanted to try some – she was not disappointed – yum! We had coffee and breakfast and the girls ran around outside a bit. I got Sach up just before 12 and we drove out to the ...

We didn't set an alarm and got up and packed up – got all cleaned up to get out of there. Supposed to go see Lenny before we left but he pitched at the camp site telling us it was already 11am at that stage – oh dear!. We packed up and headed out only at about 12 noon. Still to Lenny’s to say cheers and off up the coast. Got in touch with Baden and Jill and they said they’d just see us when we got there. A bit of a quick drive along the 1s...
