Quick update..... We are in Tasmania!! Our camper trailer has been left in Victoria and we are touring Tassie in a tent, kindly loaned to us by some friends. Bringing the camper to Tasmania on the boat was going to cost us nearly double what it cost for us and the Pajero, so we are tenting it! The crossing on the boat was reasonably painless, apart from sleeping in the recliner chairs at the back of the boat which are far from comfortable. So far we have travel...

After a couple of days in Mount Gambier we packed up and headed off for the Victorian border. As we have been travelling we have been in constant contact with our parents. My parents had been holidaying in Queensland and Kathy's parents had left Sapphire in Queensland after being there for many months. Our parents had met up with each other in Temora for an airshow and they had planned to meet up again in Shepparton for a Mammoth Scale model aeroplane weekend. My...

We drove into the park along the gravel roads, stopping in at a few bays and inlets on the way. From these bays we were looking back across Proper Bay to where we were camped in Port Lincoln. Luckily the weather was good and the sunshine on the water made the turquoise colours really stand out. We continued meandering until we arr...

It was a cold night at Fraser Range! Little did we realise that Fraser Range is 300 metres above sea level. I only found that out after we had a very cold sleep and woke up to find ice on the camper!! I checked the ambient temperature on the Pajero, and when I turned on the ignition the outside temp display showed me it was -2 degrees!!! I thought it was reading incorrectly, so I consulted with the small thermometer we have on a magnet inside the tailgate of the ...

Well, it seems as though the weather forecast was correct. After a wet and windy night at Busselton we woke to blue skies, but the wind was still making its presence known. We headed off for a day trip toward Augusta, planning to drive the coast road there, have some lunch at Augusta and then drive the inland road through Margaret River back to Busselton. After grabbing something from the bakery at Dunsborough, we turned off toward Cape Naturaliste to have a look...
