Getting to the warmer climate!
Saturday morning, 20/6/15, we left Winterwood and made our way onto the Hume highway. The Navara towed beautifully and we did not even feel we were towing a caravan most of the time. We headed towards Albury – Wodonga with the target for the day being Wagga Wagga. We were quite exited on the start … Continue reading
2015 – The Great Winter Escape
Victoria is cold in the winter; especially the Victorian highlands north of Melbourne where we live. Last year we had the worst winter in 20 years and we froze our butts off. So, this year we got smart. Stay away, travel north for the cold months June to September. Go where it is warmer. … Continue reading

Last week @ Port Vincent
23-28/10 The last week at Port Vincent just flew by (23/10-28/10). We spent days relaxing at the water’s edge and watching the tide come in.
