Have you ever made a decision, feeling somehow unsettled about it? And later realised you had little choice but to go through with it, regardless of the consequences. Our recent camping trip taught us some big life lessons. … More A Dubious Detour

Virtual walking on Phillip Island
April 1, 2020
Ahh, to be walking along a windswept beach right now. Smelling the sea air, watching the waves crash on the shore, the continual ebb and flow of the tides a certainty of life. It makes me breath easier just remembering. I wrote this post more than three months ago. I have no idea why I … More Virtual walking on Phillip Island

The river near Cobram is one of our favourite camping spots with wide sandy stretches of riverside beaches, surrounded by the peace of nature. Oh, and those bloody noisy … More Seven of the best Free Camps in Victoria

It was the phone call that changed the course of our holiday. I rang the caravan park a week before Christmas, by chance someone had just cancelled their camp site. It was for the exact five days we wanted. Otherwise we would have gone back to Corryong in the High Country, one of many fire … More Innes National Park
