I started planning this July school holiday trip earlier in the year. The initial plan was down to the Great Ocean Road and over to the Fleurieu Peninsula in SA then back home via the Grampians. Well as an understatement, that didn’t work out.

In preparation for our Christmas getaway, I thought it would be good to be able to take the bikes. Caravan parks are a pretty safe place to ride around in.

Over the past few weeks, each day we’ve been looking at the photos from the same day last year. A few days ago, something made me have a look at streeview up around timber creek.

Today we want to start heading in the vague direction of home, there is another good stop a few km up the road, but that seems a little pointless.
Continue reading “Day 12 – Murray River to Jugiong”Day 11 – Nariel Creek to Murray River
Time to move on. There looks to be a few good camp spots on the Murray river to the east of Jingellic, so we’ll drive in a clockwise loop back around to there.

The place is nice enough and we’re in no rush to move on, so we decide to stay another night.

This morning is the most active this van park must have been in ages, just about everyone is packing up. As some of the vans and tents on the riverside leave, we can finally have a good view of the river from where the van is parked. Oh well, let’s enjoy it while we packup.

We get up with the view of moving on, as the morning progresses, I’m starting not to feel 100%. I had in the back of my mind to maybe stay another night anyway. The kids have fun when other kids are around. With a bit of a fever possibly coming on, all things are pointing to staying another night, so we book in. The kids are happy. It should be a relaxing day with nothing really planned.

A beautiful morning and under normal circumstance we would have stayed another night. It’s not really the place you can run a gennie for hours, and quite frankly I’m not sure how long it would take to charge everything backup. Nothing for it, but to visit a Caravan park and recharge. It’s about halfway through the trip so a load or two of washing needs to be done anyway.
Continue reading “Day 7 – Paddys River to Walwa”Day 6 – Mt Selwyn to Paddys River
Another fresh, but beautiful morning. We slowly pack up and get ready to leave. It is a very tight U-Turn to get out of the spot we’re in, and given the trouble some of the guys had turning around a camper trailer, I’ve got visions of reversing the van several 100 mts back down the road.
