Off we go to Melbourne, the Great Ocean Road, Kangaroo Island, Adelaide, the Barossa Valley, Broken Hill and across the top of NSW via Cobar and Moree to the Sunshine Coast of Queensland. From two weeks in our favourite resort there, we work our way down the coast, staying in places such as Kingscliff, Clunes, Coffs Harbour and Port Macquarie to visit lovely family and friends before landing in Newcastle for a few days to see more loved ones, including my wonderful mother.

This trip is for Jon and me– tailor made for us, by us, starting 4 days after Jon’s 60th birthday. We will no doubt miss ‘Rockview’, our friends in Cooma and especially our darlings, Charlie and Jeni, but we are more than ready to hit the road and get outta town!

The Great Ocean Road

Looking out to the pier at Lorne


What a wonderful start we had to this section of the trip - grey skies came and went, but blue won through!

Only 7 apostles left they say, but who knows what is forming under the sea?

    Thanks Holly- it's a beautiful stretch of coast. I can see you and Tom here. Camping, surfing, biking - you'd never want to leave. xx

    Lovely photos Janis. That one of the cyclists could easily have been us! We were so brave! We ended up quite a deal fitter than when we started. Great memories. Mxxxx
