Preparing to move

Left our last free campsite this morning and drove back to Geelong and checked into a paid site on the edge of the city to start packing up the van and set up our tent which will be our home now for the next 2 weeks. Will really miss the van when it goes tomorrow but at least we have one more...

12 Apostles

Woke up to a grey morning, we waited a little hoping it would clear before the rest of the Great Ocean, but it didn’t unfortunately. But we still tried to make the most of our day and saw as much as we could in between the rain, including the 12 apostles which are rocks of the shore. We then...

Koalas at our campsite

Went into Geelong to meet the Canadians and get a Deposit, all good. Then we headed, for our FINAL stage of our amazing journey, down the Great Ocean Road. The weather was great, at last, and the scenery was beautiful. Found a great campsite half way, with koalas in residence,...

We sold the van! :) Will miss it though :(

Woke up to a dry day and after talking to a local Chris realised that we might not have enough fuel to make it to the next fuel stop and was told to go and ask nicely at the local shop. He did and the guy gave us 5L for the tidy price of $2 per litre. Better than running out, but after 2...

1st viewing on our van

Had a pretty long a stressful day today. Woke up early with tons of rain and thunder storms. Perfect weather for gutting out and cleaning the van! Typical. Luckily at the campsite the lady took pity on us and didn’t make us leave by 10am, which is checkout and said we could stay longer so...

Penguins!

Woke up this morning to find 3 missed calls on our phone- looks like people are interested in the van already! That was quick, was hoping we could have it a little longer. Meeting a guy called Tom tomorrow who seems uber keen on buying it, so Chris dumped me off in MacDonalds whilst he went...

Wilsons Promontory

Left our campsite this morning and drove to Wilson’s Promontory and it was nice to see some sunshine for a change! We drove to Tidal River first and went for a nice walk through the Forest a little before coming to the North of Norman’s Bay and we walked down the end of the beach, ...

Flat tyre...

Not the best start to the day by getting our first flat tyre on the van, in the middle of nowhere, but luckily we had a spare and I suppose we’re even luckier as it is our first one we’ve had so far, but Chris soon fixed it so we were back on the road again. After finally finding our campsite...

Koalas in the wild!

We left the wet and cold stop at the side of the Snowy River, after the rain keeping us awake all night. It was a pretty grim day, but we headed to Raymond Island just off from Paynesville to go and see our first Koalas in the wild! It was awesome and we saw 22 in total all...

We struck GOLD!!

Woke up and re-made our fire to cook some breakfast before making a make-shift shower doing it the old traditional way of heating up water on the fire and washing with a cup. At least we had the campsite and forest to ourselves so we could do it. Chris took a walk down to the River and we...
