Woke up around 8am to a beautiful sunny day. Sat outside and had a coffee and then began the breakfast marathon and schoolwork. Doris and George came past to say goodbye and gave the kids $10 to spend on ice cream. We finished off schoolwork, had lunch and set off for the beach in Inverloch. One the way to the beach we drilled the kids on all the work they had covered that morning and 20 minutes later they had all made enormous improvements. We decided to ...

The kids woke us up this morning want a wee - really it was a ploy to get us up so that they could go and see their friends! Another beautiful day was expected so we spent the morning doing schoolwork so that we could go and explore in the afternoon. Katharine has finally got into self-directed study and while everyone else was still waking up she began work. She had completed two hours and two subjects before we had finished breakfast and completed another ...

The kids woke up a bit through the night as their sleeping bags were on the floor and it was the first really cold night.

I had a shower and washed my hair (luxury when free camping!) and after the breakfast marathon we hit the books for a couple of hours. After school Nick and I got to read for a little while as the boy...

The sky was overcast and the air felt very damp but the forecast promised sunshine so we decided to skip school today and explore instead. Breakfast took the usual two hours to get through and Nick made us all a packed lunch then we set off for Wilson Promontory National Park, Australia's most southerly point. It took us a good hour to get there but the scenery was stunning so it didn't rea...

Woke up around 830am having had a fantastic nights sleep. No city noise at all, only the sound of the waves and the rain, which must have been quite heavy as there were big puddles around the campsite. We had a very slow breakfast today and by the time we had finished and cleared up the sun was out and shining. We were just about to start school when a Britz van went by and we spotted George and Doris from Germany who we met in Narrawong. We had a quick cat...
