Home bound We have left Melbourne with fine memories of the day and night markets, tram hopping, and spending Australia Day at Big Day Out with the lovely Irish we met (chilli peppers were fab). The tram ride home was one I wish to forget.. Having not eaten most of the day and with the addition of alcohol, exhaustion and the excessive body heat on the tram, Alex mumbled he needed to get some air. About two seconds later I had 80kgs of body weight on top of me, ...

We've been travelling along the Murray for 5 days now so far and already forgotten the site names so we've dubbed each spot; 'the Jeff and Robyn place', the 'Dero place', the 'Windy place', the 'Ants place' and now we're heading over the border in an hour or so into Vic.

Alex threw a line in for the sake of it because we had squid bait from the squid he caught the night before on ...

After our Merry Christmas we got back on the track, spilt the rotting bait eski water on the mattress but lucki...

It's almost Christmas! This morning we have been shopping for our Christmas desires (I'm talking about prawn not porn) and we are just about to head out to Port Lincoln National Park for a few days. We arrived in Port Lincoln yesterday and it was a scorcher (reached 40 degrees). We stayed in a caravan park for the night to recharge the batteries and so that Alex could shower (he was starting to smell like a homeless man). The day before was just as hot and we wer...
