Bundaberg: We arrived at Bundaberg and went over to the Bundaberg Distillery, where they make Bundy Rum, and the Bundaberg Brewing Company, where they make ginger beer. First on the agenda was the Bundaberg Distillery. We went on a tour around the distillery learning about the rum-making process, their history and why they have a [...]
Coochin Creek: I felt empty and disappointed, because we were leaving the Gold Coast and all the theme parks behind us. We drove past them for the last time, left the Gold Coast and continued our trek around Australia. Our trip led us to Coochin Creek. Coochin Creek was a camping ground in a national [...]
Whitewater World: It was a cold, grey, wet day which made it a great day to go to Whitewater World because everyone else would be going to Dream World or Movie World. We found a parking spot in the almost vacant car park, showed our fancy passes to the entry guards, then raced over to [...]
James Sharpe Park: We left the Gold Coast for the weekend to avoid the crowds and parties resulting from the upcoming Gold Coast 600. Mum and Dad found a beautiful camping spot at James Sharpe Park. We were about fifty metres away from a clean, freshwater river where we spent the majority of our day [...]
Valla Beach: Valla Beach was a quaint caravan park across from a river then past that river was a beautiful white, sand beach. We spent lots of time fishing here with little success, I think it’s because the fish don’t think our lures are awesome looking enough. Why not? I mean I nearly bit the [...]
Hunter Valley: While in the Hunter Valley region we explored the area and had a look at all of the wineries and cheese shops. To my dismay it wasn’t what I expected at all, I thought it would be a lot more lush, green and filled with cows. What it turned out to be was [...]
Sydney: Today we were going exploring around Sydney but first we had to catch the train and after catching so many there was no real fun about it any more until, that was we found out they were double decker! Once we were in Sydney we all started wandering through the streets looking at everything. [...]
Floriade: The first thing we did while in Canberra was go and look at the many tulips and other flowers they had at Floriade. For those who are totally oblivious to this event, Floriade is a flower show they hold in Canberra, where they get lots of flowers, mainly tulips, and arrange them in stunning [...]
Tim Burton: After catching the train, walking to Fed Square and looking around at all the Grand Final stuff we all walked over to the ACMI complex where they were holding a Tim Burton exhibition. We all went and had a look at all of Tim Burton’s Achievments and his work, for example there were [...]
Cygnet: As I’m sure you have all found out by now is that we became stranded in a town called Cygnet after the all mighty Patrol’s clutch gave up. I know that everyone has probably made it sound like a bad thing, but I kind of liked it after all we were in a caravan [...]
Cadbury Chocolate Factory: Hoorah! Today we were going to the Cadbury Chocolate Factory. When we arrived and walked through into the gift shop we were handed a block of Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate, which was surprising because I thought only the adults would get one. However, on closer inspection I realised they had a whole, [...]
Essendon Bombers vs. Western Bulldogs: Today was one of the best days ever because we were going to watch Essendon own the Bulldogs at Etihad Stadium. This was going to be the first time I watched them play, live. On the walk to the stadium it was much the same as the last time we [...]
Mt. Baw Baw: Awesome! Today we are going to the snow. Legendary! And as the sub-title states we are going to Mt. Baw Baw to toboggan, snowball fight and eat snow. Firstly we had to hire some equipment so we didn’t freeze or slide off the road while driving and there’s only one place to [...]
Sovereign Hill : On this particular day we were off to enjoy the wonder of Sovereign Hill and all it’s splendor. When we arrived I was enthralled at the way they had formated and set out this 1850′s town and even more amazed at the fact that they had random people walking around all dressed [...]
07/08/2010 : Sadly, we had to leave Mildura and go to Adelaide. While we were driving we listened to Prince Capsicum and played on the laptops. When we arrived we began to set up but then we were forced to stop because Mum had hurt her lower back. She laid down for a while and [...]
30/07/2010 : Today was another fun filled day full of driving, yay! Today we were driving to Quorn with another quick stop in Port Augusta to replenish our stocks. While driving I became bored – again! I began to ponder deep and meaningful subjects such as; so far most of our trip has consisted of [...]
16/07/2010 : We have finally left on our trip that will take us all around Australia. After this we will have been to every capital city in this country. Our first stop is a little camping ground on the side of the road 70 km east of Southern Cross. It has now been a while [...]
The Kalgoorlie pipeline runs from Mundaring, Perth to Kalgoorlie and was created by Charles Yelverton O’Connor. Unfortunately, C.Y. O’Connor took his own life 10 months before the water flowed through it because there was too much pressure from the media. It’s approx. 560 km long. I give it an 8.5/10 on the Uber scale. It [...]
Lake Ballard is an Uber salt lake 600 km2 approx. and 50 km out of a hole of a town called Menzies. In fact it’s a bigger hole than Dunsborough. Lake Ballard is covered in 50 statues that are meant to represent a local aboriginal tribe. Just a few hundred metres from the entrance is [...]
