Has taken us five days to get this far. Weather has been cold and wet most days. No signal. Had a meal at the Barmah pub last night and we will be in Echuca tomorrow. Spend a day there and start back. Slower as we will be against the current. Dawa

After talking to travellers driving a similar van to mine who had just come from Wallaman Falls and told me that mine would get there no worries I decided to make that my next stop. I was concerned by the Camps6 #32 description of the access road, 20kms of dirt road, steep winding road not suitable for ca...

Had an easy drive today, left Ingham and stopped at Cardwell to have another look at the beautiful beach scenery, I had been told that although it is signed NO CAMPING the area at the end of the Esplanade has had campers there overnight recently. It was around 10am when I passed there and there were a few...

It is now Tuesday afternoon and have been for a walk round some of Rollingstone Camps6 #36 and settled in with the neighbours and have taken some pictures, the murals under the highway bridge are amazing.

The van started to lose power and drop from 90 to 80 suddenly and then to 60, no good when there are trucks behind me. I quickly pulled over and turned off the van and when restarted had no problems for 20 kms when it started off again so I aimed to get to Home Hill Comfort Stop Camps6 #47 then called RACQ. Jaso...

I will be heading east, ex Albany, come August 14. My "rig" is a white Mazda T 3500 bus. My beloved 1976 BMW R 750/7 motorcycle will hopefully be on the trailer, behind me ?! I usually have the two way on channel 40, so as to keep in touch with heavy transports that want to overtake. I don't expect...

Meant to put my little piece in I digress but must have pushed the wrong button. Oh well I probably needed another senior moment to round off today. I'll now go & put it in the right place.

My daughter has come back from her cruise so we can now leave after looking after her dog. From her place you can see the railway line & it is strange for me to see one of those long coal trains go past & know 'that is my baby driving that'. She is the youngest of 3 daughters. Women can do anything t...
