Crazy partying, road trip and promotion!

... on Saturday we just went to the pub and then to Chris&#8217; place after that, I crashed there, we hung out on Sunday, met up with everyone, caught up on what had happened, chilled till like late afternoon &#8211; then I finally went back to Igor&#8217;s. And since then I&#8217;ve just been working as usual, Monday the vans all got exchanged for cars, cute little fast Mitsubishi Lancers, I love it! <br><br>Sales haven&#8217;t been too ...

Masticating Milawa

... have their own inherent presence, and I can see how Aboriginals could see powerful spirits within them. We also found the perfect swimming hole and I totally would have gone for a dip if only for the problem that I had no bathers and it was very visible from the road!<br><br>We returned to Beechworth via the gorge bridge, which was built in the 1870s and is still wide enough to easily take two lanes of traffic. Scottish stonemasons were ...

Biking Beechworth

... with my Aunt further down the road starting to pull off all her layers.<br><br>The ride took us through farmland which wasn't quite so interesting to look at but Erin eventually caught us up, having taken a wrong turn three times ;) As we turned into the midway check point the rest of the group were just getting ready to leave so in the end it was just Erin and I taking a short rest. We decided to take our time but get started on riding without a long break - I was ...

Beechworth, Victoria

We have driven further into the state of Victoria and away from the coast into the bush and mountains. During the drive, we passed several areas that had been affected by the recent bush fires, the trees were all black but begining to regenerate. <br><br>We first passed through Glenrowan which was where the famous Ned Kellys shootout ...

We arrived at Beechworth only half an hour away from Wanganderry. As we arrived in Beechworth,we found a caravan park.We took it and started putting up the caravan.While mum and dad were taking up the caravan,Marc and I were riding our bikes to the park and throwing the frisbee. Now today was actually the first day we'd been in a caravan park.For dinner mum went looking for a shopping centre.When mum came back she had bought our dinner and some salad.We ...

There's no such thing as a coincidence

... phone numbers, and I may catch up with Jason and co again in Queensland, as they will be heading up that way at much the same time as I will. The other couple also offered me a place to stay in their house, should I be in the neighbourhood later in the year, and it struck me as bizarre that I could have a weird conversation about ghosts, and be invited to someone's house (by a non-Christian), and a weird conversation about coffee, and be effectively told to go away (by a Christian).

road trip day fifteen - noisy frogs !!

... the first ones, including the ones who where executed in there. (they still have the nooses etc - !) The cells where TINY, and they didn't even have proper beds, just these little camp spring things. Reading some of the 'crimes' people where condemned for was ridiculous, one woman in 1890 was arrested for cursing her husband after he had died and she found out he'd sold all her land and she has nothing, Then after she got out she was taken back ...

On the way to Melbourne via Albury

... stand before being shot in the leg and arrested. There, we visited Kate's Cottage and Ned Kelly Memorial, which offers tons of tacky souvenirs including stuffed 'Ned Kelly in full armour' toys and tea towels, but also contains a museum and a replica of Kelly's home. This is actually a shelter with bare earth floor, bark roof and newspaper lined walls. It was unbelievably poor and basic. It is hard to ...

Winery Walkabout

... has hilarious little museums paying tribute to the man. Our next stop was Milawa in the Gourmet Food and Wine Region. We went to the Milawa Cheese Factory. It was glorious. I had a cheese platter with dried fruits and a glass of white wine. I'm pretty sure that's what heaven will be like. Thank goodness I had my lactose pills with me because otherwise I would have been in a world of pain. We continued on up the road and accidentally found the town we were ...
