It was a slow and wet drive from Cradle Mountain to Strahan today.  It was only 4 degrees when we left today and it was drizzling.  This continued the whole way to Strahan and went from drizzle to rain.  Most of the morning was spent climbing up and down and winding our way through the [...]

Part 1
Am doing today’s in two parts. We are going to see the Tasmanian devils tonight which will be good and we went up to Cradle Mountain this morning.

My spa last night was lovely. I laid in there for a good couple of hours and enjoyed a couple of glasses of wine. Dale sat up [...]

This morning the alarm didn’t go off so we were a bit later starting than we had thought.  Still managed to get Cameron out of bed and were on our way by 9.30.  Penguin was our destination today and the markets.  Quite a lot of good old second hand stuff and also some newer bits [...]

We had a wonderful sleep in this morning in our Queen size bed.  All the places we have stayed so far have had double beds and when you are used to sleeping in a Queen size it is a big difference.  It was wonderful.  After the wonderful sleep we went for a wonder around the [...]

We got the early start we wanted and were on the road at 7.30. 

We had a short drive around Warrnambool before heading off down the Great Ocean Road. We’ve got loads and loads of photos so will put them in.  Loads of history and great scenic spots to take photos.

Caves.  Dale and I were the first people in to the visitors centre this morning and apparently it was quite quiet so we get a special one on one guided tour of 2 of [...]

Got a relatively early start today, on the road at about 8.30.  Looking ahead at the map there wasn’t a lot to see on the way and there wasn’t.  No photos for you today. 
The plan was to try and head up to Hahndorf and a winery or two this afternoon after we got here.  [...]

Just to recap from yesterday as I was a bit tired when I wrote it all up.   
We got to Ceduna at about 3.45.  Checked in to the hotel, which hallelujah, had phone access.  We had a bit of a wander around down to the jetty (the photo from yesterday) and just relaxed before dinner.  [...]

We got an early start today.   We had looked at the road ahead in the road atlas and knew that we were going to be making a few stops along the way as we were going past the Great Australian Bight.  Dad, not only have I been to the edge of adventure but also to [...]
