Week 15 & 16 Highlights

Deciding we didn’t want to spend the next three weeks at a caravan park we left to go to James Sharp Park. J.S Park is a beautiful spot, right next to a gorgeous flowing stream were we spent most of our sunny afternoons splashing around and having fun. We even managed to make a couple [...]

Week 14 Highlights

Week 14 wasn’t as exciting as week 13. Although I was absolutely stoked. Finally the sun had come out and we were at a caravan park right next to the beach! What a perfect location. So off course when the sun is out you definitely needed a beachy place to stay, and Valla Beach served [...]

Week 13 Highlights

Week thirteen is officially our half way mark. I think I’m really appreciating having my own room and an inside bathroom now more than ever! These last three months have been so much fun but on the flipside they have been rather exhausting. We have been doing so much touristy stuff and have just crammed [...]

Week 12 Highlights

Saturday: Questacon & Goulburn Today we were sadly leaving but luckily we had one last place to stop, Questacon. As soon as we walked in the door I was enthralled and captivated by all the little thingy-majigs. It was awesome. We visited room after room then decided we would watch one of the shows: Rocket [...]

Week 11 Highlights

Saturday : Grand Final watch at Fed SQ Once again we caught the train into Melbourne and we hadn’t even hopped off when we realized it was going to be packed. We all started walking to Fed SQ to find seats, until mum came up with the idea that just her and I go do [...]

Week 10 Highlights

Sunday came again and 3 weeks on we were ready to head back to the main land, or so they call it. This time the ship wasn’t as packed and we boarded on with ease. The journey was unbearably rocky and it proved to be a real challenge to fall asleep, for me anyway! Monday [...]

Week 9 Highlights

Most of this week, from Friday to Wednesday, we were pretty much stuck in Cygnet so we did our best to remedy the awkward situation. On Saturday, Mum and Dad went to the Red Velvet Lounge for dinner while Jordan and I baby sat. Each day we would go to the butcher and find something [...]

Week 8 Highlights

Week 8 was a full on week with lots of fun stuff to do. First on our itinerary was to visit the Salamanca Markets in Hobart. However, the weather wasn’t that nice, in fact it was pretty bad. We had to walk through the markets with umbrellas in our grasp to stay out of the [...]

Week 7 Highlights

Saturday 28th Essendon Vs Western Bulldogs Today was pretty ordinary we stayed at home most the day. At around about 3pm we caught the train to Melbourne Central and did some shopping for prezzies for mums birthday. After having my worst nightmare finished we took a stroll back to Lygon street where we ate at [...]

Week 6 Highlights and Lowlights

Sunday 22nd Kryle Castle and Bendigo This day seemed like it was going to be the best so far, yet somehow it managed to turn out being the worst, entirely it did get better. Our first and hopefully last destination today was Kryle Castle we had come here because of dad’s awesome memories from when [...]

Em’s Week 5 Highlights

Saturday 14th August; To Geelong via Great Ocean Road. Today we tried to conquer the Great Ocean Road on our quest to get to Geelong by 5:00pm. The trip was on a continuously winding road and very windy which slowed us down immensely. Not to mention the extra minutes added by stopping to admire some [...]

Week 4: Review

The start of week 4 was just like any other boring day. We drove from Mildura to Adelaide which took a long endless 4 hours. We arrived at the cravan park which was located in the middle of the glorious city of churches. That morning I thought it was going to be the same old [...]

Em’s Week 3: Review

The beginning of week 3 we went back through Port Augusta to Quorn and stayed one night on the side of the road at a rest area. At Port Augusta we had our family night at Hungry Jacks! Woohoo, how fun lame! However, it was fun, even though there were lots of bogans. The very [...]

Em’s Week 2: Review

The beginning of week two, we made our way to Streaky Bay. The caravan park we stayed at was beautiful. We had a site right next to the beach and decided to have fish and chips for dinner (which we got from a cafe with really hot guys working there – He He). We had [...]

Heading off to Kalgoorlie! Woo woo Gold here we come!

“Sunday morning. Rise and shine Robinson family, it’s time to head to Kalgoorlie.” First though we need to stop and admire the glorious Sunrise and maybe even have some devotions. We are travelling down the rocky road to reach Kalgoorlie, the next stop for our trip. This town of the Goldfields is a great tourist [...]

The Extraordinary Lake Ballard

Hey Everyone, Last night we stayed at a roadhouse just a bit past Southern Cross. It was actually better than I imagined and was literally on the side of the road. At 10 am that morning we left the roadhouse to make our 4hr journey to Lake Ballard. The view from the car was amazing. [...]

We’re finally on the road

Here we are as a loving family driving down some road on our way to Bruce Rock. Today our aim is to reach Southern Cross which is approximately 110km east of Merredin. For tonight we will just be staying pretty much on the side of the road. We just stopped at this dog cemetery where [...]

2 Sleeps away!

My goodness, only two sleeps away. How can this be? Well the first few days anyway is just driving… breaks… driving… breaks and more driving, how fun? Hahaha. I can’t believe all this is happening so fast. I think the first day will be a major shock and a relief. Just driving out of the [...]
