Good Morning all - Happy April Fools or as i like to say...Happy Birthday to me :)We reached Byron Bay at 6pm on Friday and drove into the carpark of the Arts Factory and who was in the vehicle driving towards us, my cousin Cal and his friend John. We both sat in our campervans and just screamed at each other, no words were suffice to express the happiness. We immediatly got parked up and checked in. The Arts Factory is a fascinating place, it has that cool hipp...

We had an incredible day yesterday and went to Warner Brothers Movie World, the day did not start off smoothly as Chris and josh were arguing about Chris' snoring and Josh poking him in the night to make it stop!

The next 2 hours driving were smooth sailing and we drove up a hill to look over a vast marina with hundreds of yachts, blazing...

Afternoon everyone, (typed over a couple of days..) Slight change of plan since the last blog. We intended to go to The Strand but the weather was awful and the whole place was shut, the rain was so heavy that we ate our lunch in the campervan in a carpark. We decided to try and travel out of all the rain and travel 3 hours to Whitsundays, the nightmare began. The weather clearly wanted us to stay as all the roads south were blocked due to flooding.
