Monday, 13 January 2025 After the torrential rain yesterday afternoon we had not a drop more during the evening or overnight. The night was dry and mild, and I even survived a middle of the night walk to John’s outhouse. Today it has dawned all blue sky and sunshine so looking good to explore a […]

Saturday, 16 November 2024 This morning, we repacked the truck and made our way to the front of the pub to meet Pam in her Isuzu DMax. Arrangements had been made for us to meet Pam in Heyfield and guide her to the tag along meeting point at the Dingo Den at Valencia Creek.
Friday, 15 November 2024 This morning Bernie packed the truck with all the gear needed (hopefully?) to survive a weekend in Victoria’s High Country. While Bernie was busy organising all the gear, I went to my exercise classes over in Coburg. All I had to pack was my toothbrush and some grungy clothes for four-wheel
