As the sun was fast approaching the horizon, Tristan knew he had one shot at it. Tara is a stickler for dates... It was our three year anniversary. After we set up camp at the beautiful Mt Little Station, Tristan thought it would be romantic to wander down to the gorge, forgetting they were in the middle of a drought... There was no water... Just flies. So as the sun was still setting for the day...it was a last ditched effort. The station manager had earlier m...

We had a pitstop at Jamestown (birthplace of R.M Willians) where we learnt he actually achieved way more his own brand of clothing.

First stop Port Fairy...An easy 3.5 hr drive in Larry with Judy in tow found us in the quaint village of Port Fairy. We both fell in love with the place when we first visited on our way home from a family trip to Adelaide last Year. A year later and it didn't dissapoint. We were greeted by lovely staff at the Belfast Cove Holiday Park and enjoyed a 3 night stay. Port Fairy was a great starting point, a place to find our feet, a place to settle our nerves, and a...
