Jonny woke up early needing the toilet and so got Nick out of bed. Once up, he decided to head into town and empty our toilet at the dump point there to prepare for Victoria, as we've heard there aren't many dump points in Victoria. I had a shower and started to pack up and we were doing really well until we got chatting to the neighbours, which delayed us a fair bit! We were on the road by 10am and reached Nelson around 12. The drive was quite pretty once we...

Katharine woke up at 4am frozen and so climbed into bed with us - it was like cuddling up to an ice block! Went back to sleep until about 7 and then got up for coffee. Nick did the breakfast marathon while I began researching places to stay in Victoria. While checking out the caravan parks along the Great Ocean Road, we got an email stating we had won 10 days at half price for a park in Apollo Bay that we had bid for on a site called Travel Auctions! Spent th...

Woke early this morning due to a bad dream about snakes!! Nick was awake too and it was cold outside so we stayed in bed and read for a while. Ten minutes later three other bodies were in our bed and Nick and I moved outside for coffee!! The sun soon came out so we put some washing on and Nick went off to the bakery for some fresh bread. We had a very slow start to the day with a long breakfast and then the kids went off to play in the Mulberry trees again wi...

The kids are definitely on SA time now and are waking up far too early!! Nick and I stayed in bed and read for a while before getting up for coffee. We had just finished when it began to drizzle so we quickly packed up the beds and made sure nothing got wet. After breakfast we got chatting to more neighbours and although it delayed leaving, we learnt a bit more about places to visit. The trip to Robe seemed long and boring after driving through the Fleurieu Pe...

Woken up at 530am by the rain and started checking we were all still dry inside! Nick had been awake for at least half an hour and neither of us could get back to sleep so we watched an episode of Mrs Brown's Boys. We had put headphones on so as not to wake the kids but we laughed aloud too often and soon everyone was up! Happy Valentines Day! Katharine got a card, Nick got a free heart token from my bottle of wine but I got zip! After breakfast, we decided ...
