This is a top pick! ... it) on a chilly winter's night could be quite a task and every bit of it was valued, a sobering contrast to what I've experienced in Australia this year. To hear someone shout 'Shut the door Cobba, the cold'll get OUT' is as natural as waking up in the ...

Horsham (Mt. Arapiles State Park) to Ararat (Green Hill Lake) Total Distance Travelled so far… 3,049km We left the campground this morning about 10:30am. It was a pretty hot one today! We drove back through Horsham, but on the way out of ...
Green Hill Lake

Grampians

Jailhouse Rock Festival
We encountered the world of Swing dance at the Town Hall, where a live band provided music from the 50s and 60s to the fans, who went all out in the costuming department. Our inability to join in led us to renew our determination to take classes ...
Welcome visitors from Sydney
A lazy day yesterday, though we did go to see The Impossible, then came home to a documentary on Hurricane Sandy. I had nightmares about being swamped by a flood! Today we met some old friends in a nearby town, Stawell, for lunch. We tend to ...
J Ward

Das Gefaengnis von Ararat
Mein erster Ausflug in Australien unternahm ich mit Susanne, Leah und Matt nach Ararat, um ein ehemaliges Gefaengnis zu besichtigen. Unser Guide dort war sehr nett, aber leider sprach er sehr schnell und Susanne und ich verstanden nicht allzu viel von der ...
Oh how wonderful to see the family
The drive today was fantastic visiting areas that we had visited en-route to Western Australia. Many of these areas were flooded when we went past a few months before. Driveways washed out and all. However now the water has receded the fields are green. ...
Penultimate day

Oleme levist väljas ja teel Melbourne poole
Pole nüüd ammu midagi kirjutada saanud, sest oleme kogu aeg autoga teel. Õhtuti ööbime kämpinguplatsidel, kus levi pole. Telefonide akud on ka tühjad. Täna õhtuks peaks jõudma veidi suuremasse linna, kus ööbime tasulises kämpas, seal ehk on ...
Ararat Regional Park
... ;A lazy day inside in the air-conditioning, because so very hot outside. We finally emerged in the late afternoon for a walk in Ararat Regional Park, with its many remnant mining holes. The Chinese ones are easy to identify as they dug round ones, being ...

Long drive through the Countryside
Thought I might mention that a lot of the towns along the way are quite small, and have their own Aussie charm. Easy to forget that what we take for granted may be fascinating to anyone from overseas. If you head into the Aussie bush, make ...
