This is sunset out front of caravan park at Semaphore just north of Adelaide.

This is the jetty at Semaphore, apparently they get heaps of squid off it.

This little steam train runs from our caravan park into Semaphore (coupla klms) every 45mins. It runs right along the beach.

Strathalbyn

We are in a line up waiting to get on the Wellington car ferry..It runs back n forth 24hrs a day

This is the ferry..

Our campsite at Strathalbyn. Its a pretty cool little town. Billy loved it as it had free tennis courts actually in the caravan park. The town is filled with antique shops.

Dave and I went to dinner at the Victoria Hotel while Billy was in Newy..Dave had Lamb in red wine/garlic pie and I had Lambfry and bacon and it was YUMMO

The walls in tne place reminded Dave of being in Italy..

Happy Easter everyone...The Easter Bunny remembered I was traveling and found me..yeaha!

We had a day at the trots and these were the kids having races in between the main races

There was a dog show on here too and Billy and I were walking thru and this little puppy scared the crap out of Billy..he was nearly a horse..

Billy made a new concoction at a milkbar in Goolwa..its called the Mintslice milkshake..he said it was pretty good too..This is taken before and......

This is the Blue Lake at Mt Gambier and it is amazingly BLUE. It was a cloudy day and it was still so blue..

Dartmoor

This is a great little freecamp at Dartmoor..We stayed here for 2 nights to outsit the strong winds that were everywhere else..Even too windy to put the awning.

Billy cooking a yummy stirfry for dinner.. it was sooo nice

This little town has all these magnificent wood carvings throughout the town and they were all done with a chainsaw.

Amazing woodcarvings

This one was huge..apparently theoriginal trees got a disease, so they cut them down and the old guy used his chainsaw and did these carvings...this one was called The Nursery Rhyme Tree.

Great Ocean Road and surrounds

Bells Beach clifftops for breakie,,it was sooo beautiful

South Bells ..absolutely perfect morning..

Apollo Bay fish n chips for lunch.yummo

Bay of Islands... its all just so picturesque

This is Loch ard gorge..its hard to believe that there was a shipwreck and 2 people survived and were washed up here in this gorge..look at the cliffs the guy has to scale to go and get help

London Bridge

Not a good time to go to Lorne..it was the Labour Day weekend and every man and his dog and his neighbours was there

We went on a 12 Apostles helicopter flight and it was unreal..Billy got to sit up front and he felt pretty special.

Ian from the van next to us showed Billy how to crack a bull whip..he did really well until he cracked himself in the leg drawing blood..then we found out it was a full adult size whip..

Billy and I trying to sort our escape route in the maze at the park in Warrnambool

Billy on flying fox in park..

Riding our bikes was a great way to get around Warrnambool (as its nice n flat) we are out near the breakwall here and these are old unused aquariums from years ago..you used to walk down around them.

On the break wall itself

Our friends Robyn n Bruces farm that we stayed on while we traveled the Great Ocean Road.. we didnt realise that it was the Labour Day weekend that we were gonna be on the GOR and it was sooo nice off these guys to let us use their property as a home base..

30+ up to 39deg whilst here at Wensleydale at Robyn n Bruces..thank god they had this pool..is was a lifesaver.

Dave doing it tough trying to keep out of the sun..

Billy hit it off with Robyns  grandson Corey and he got to drive this buggy and a big quad bike and got towed around the dam in a boat by the quad..he had a ball.

Port Fairy was a really pretty place, it was just a shame that the weather was crap while we were there. This is some of the cannons on show at the memorial park in Port Fairy.
