for a while in down town Wonthaggi, Victoria (Sort of near Phillip Island) town of wind and rain. If anyone is passing through and would like to chat give a yell. I just enjoyed some great company at Greens Lake (no more on that ) but all good things come to an end.

A few weeks ago we bought our little pop top van 'Pokey'. We wondered how our old 14 year old dog would take to camping - again.
