Day 4 – Canberra Trip, All Wrapped Up.

This morning leaves us with a bitter sweet feeling as we’re packing all our stuff and heading home, but not before squeezing in one more cool thing to see! We’re heading to the National Museum of Australia to check out their Discovering Ancient Egypt exhibition for a rushed walk through experience, as we are making […]

Day 3 – Cuddilly Had a Beef With Us

We were not amoosed. This morning we are all pretty tired. We’ve already had such a full adventure, but we’re not done yet! We started with a caffeine refuel and made our way to meet Suzanne at her farm. A couple of years ago Drew adopted a Miniature White Galloway cow for my 30th. This […]

Day 2 – Time Travel Mishap

This morning we woke up after a troublesome nights sleep, to get up and check out of our Albury motel, and get on the road towards Canberra by 8.30. But first, caffeine. Over a cheeky Macca’s breakfast we discussed a well known tradition that is upheld in Albury, which we decided to take part in, […]

Day 1 – First Leg

385km travelled. We need a weekend away! After what feels like an eternity since our last getaway, and a long week ending in a chaotic Friday, we started out first leg of our trip at 5pm, heading to Amy and Anthony’s place to pick up our travel buddies and start our journey towards Canberra.  The […]

Day 4 – 6* Feet Under 

*actual measurements may vary. Today we wrap up our South Australia road trip with one last trip underground. We returned to Naracoorte Cave National Park where we were on Friday, to visit the cave that gave them their UNESCO World Heritage listing in 1995 – Victoria Fossil Cave. We were lucky enough to have a […]

Day 3 – What the Duck?

It’s so strange to have a body clock more reliable than an alarm. Is this what being a 30 something is? Our first stop today was to go visit Larry the Lobster, and tick off another “big thing” in Australia. This is probably the most impressive “big thing” I’ve seen personally. Larry is in Kingston, […]

Day 2 – Mount Gambier, are you okay?

My body clock is mean. We had 7.45 alarms but I was up and finalising yesterday’s blog at 6 o’clock. But once I ran out of things to be productive doing, we got up and ready to start the day. First stop, breakfast and coffee.  Once we were sufficiently nourished, we started our hour journey […]

Day 1 – Crossing the Border

Today’s the day I get to tick another Aussie state off the list! We were on the road by 8.15, heading to a bakery for a quick brekkie stop before heading towards The Big Miner in Ballarat where we met up with Amy and Anthony, our travel buddies for this trip. We had only planned […]

Day 4 – Market Mayhem

We may have bitten off more than we could chew for today. We had the best intentions of getting up early and getting to a few more places before heading back to Melbourne this afternoon, but I think we may have underestimated the sheer size of Salamanca market. Looking at a map of the market, it […]

Day 3 – A Profoundly Beautiful Day

We left the Airbnb that I had mentally moved into this morning, and honestly I’m still mourning the loss. Sitting on that balcony staring at all of Hobart, with a backdrop of Mount Wellington has become a morning ritual that I’ll miss tremendously. But alas, we got ourselves up, cleared the place, checked out and […]
