We've spent the last couple of days on the Great Ocean Road, at the very bottom of Victoria, and by gosh it's been amazing! We did the trip in reverse so on Friday we drove inland through to the furthest point just outside of Allansford so that evening we viewed The Bay of Islands then carried onto Peterborough where we set up camp for the night. We woke up on Saturday and the weather was glorious - clear blue skies and lots of sunshine (luckily we have aircon ...

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We had a fantastic time at Christmas, even though it was our first Christmas away from home without our family and friends, it was the first Christmas we spent with each other after being together for seven years so that made it extra special "Urgh pass the sick bucket" I hear you all shout haha!
