Halls Gap, The Grampians, Victoria 12 -17 October 2014.

Posted on 14/10/2014 by Greg

This year it is Ella and Ethan’s turn to do the Grampians with us, following in the footsteps of their cousins, Dante and Tessa, whom we brought here in Nov 2010.

As they are missing a week of school to be here with us they have to write a journal about their travels. Ella is already well into hers, so we thought rather that us write these blog entries we would reproduce Ella’s story.

We hope you enjoy our adventures with our grandchildren as seen through their eyes, well Ella’s anyway! 🙂

Halls Gap, The Grampians 12 Oct 2014

Posted on 12/10/2014 by Greg

It’s that time again, we have another set of grand children to introduce to the Grampians, it’s a family thing. 🙂

Leaving this afternoon to drive half way there for an overnight stop in Bordertown, before the final 3 hour leg tomorrow.

Should give us time to get some boarder crossing pictures with Ella and Ethan. We are looking forward to some crazy days.

Look out Grampians, Ella and Ethan are coming!!!

23 February 2014 Port Broughton, Yorke Peninsula

Posted on 23/02/2014 by Greg

Happy 26th birthday to Thomas  🙂

We are definitely getting ready to be home, both of us awake around 7, what’s with that!! 🙂

We had a very relaxing day, the most strenuous thing was cleaning the awning, ready for putting the van back in storage. Deb cleaned the inside and I did the outside. While it dried we took a walk down the beach to do a Geocache (http://www.geocaching.com ).  An easy find just in the “dunes” next to the beach.  By the time we got back the awning was dry and we rolled it away.
