We were up to say goodbye to Craig and Ev before they headed out of camp and then packed up in a leisurely fashion. The wind was chilly and rain threatened, plus we were both still feeling pretty tired and ragged. Maybe today was not the time to try the climb up to Rawnsley Bluff.Continue reading “Relaxed touring day Wilpena and Arkaroo Rock 13/6/23”

Witchelina walking – getting there day 2 (21/5/23)
The first van pulled out at about 8:30, raising us from our comfy warm dozing into a crispy morning. We took our time getting up and about but we’re eating breakfast by the time Al Pettet dropped in on his way home from riding his motor bike in the Simpson. (on his way home fromContinue reading “Witchelina walking – getting there day 2 (21/5/23)”
It’s not just about the destination but about the journey too. 18/2/23
We are keen to see our loved ones but have so enjoyed the relaxed life of the fisher, camper and traveller. On our last morning we woke up to the sounds of the little birds in our lovely spot away from everyone and enjoyed a quick breakfast and cuppa before heading on up the trackContinue reading “It’s not just about the destination but about the journey too. 18/2/23”
Cummins towards home 17/2/23
Trevor went off on bus round with Vinnie. The round goes out to the North West of Cummins and is about 100km total-mostly on dirt. The kids all had swimming sports day. Then we all sat around eating scrumptious breakfast, drinking tea and putting off the moment of leaving. Nat picked some fresh veg forContinue reading “Cummins towards home 17/2/23”
Mullalong 13/2/23
Due to the SE wind near the campsite four of us decided to head across the point to Mullalong beach where the wind should be in a kinder direction. We took the rocky track across there (about 5km) and stood at the top of the hill looking down on the beautiful beach, full of hope.Continue reading “Mullalong 13/2/23”
Chinaman’s Island Walk – 7/10/22
Our first walk in Yarrawonga was to a spot called Chinaman’s Island. This is not really an island, but is almost one. It is land set aside as a nature reserve and has a lovely path to follow with some great views. The area was used as market garden, pig farm and pastoral farm forContinue reading “Chinaman’s Island Walk – 7/10/22”
Kyneton to Yarrawonga 6/10/22
We were glad that it wasn’t as rainy as the previous day, but it was still a bit limiting for us as far as taking a look on our way. At Heathcote we found our way around one blocked waterway (river over road) only to find that the track we hoped to take to theContinue reading “Kyneton to Yarrawonga 6/10/22”
Portland to Home 6/8/22
Our last day of holiday took us the remaining 550km or so to home. The day was cold as we walked over to the pub for our continental breakfast included in the cost of the room. As we left the motel we spotted some chicks and mother in the car park – Masked Lapwings! RenownedContinue reading “Portland to Home 6/8/22”
Apollo Bay to Portland 5/8/22
When I look at all we did today I realise why I was worn out in the evening. It wasn’t that there was anything long and hard in it, but just that we were learning and looking and wondering and concentrating and planning the next bit all day. This tends to be the way weContinue reading “Apollo Bay to Portland 5/8/22”
Ferry, Point Lonsdale, walking and Apollo Bay 4/8/22
We were out early and arrived at the ferry terminal over an hour early. The view of the fancy houses with their own stairs and jetties as we pulled out was a treat. We even saw a seal (followed by lots of gulls) having a snack in the water. I managed to catch a veryContinue reading “Ferry, Point Lonsdale, walking and Apollo Bay 4/8/22”
