bored especially after a long day. Usually in the car we take turns to play on the lap tops, we read books and mum bought us some look and find books. If I get really bored I play games with Miriam, or I just sleep. I liked Barkley Homestead, it was a nice place in [...]
We arrived at Wonga Beach and set up our caravan. Some of the local people told us there was a big salt water croc on the beach. I wanted to go and have a look for it, but mum and dad wouldn’t take me. It was a nice camping area on the beach, but we [...]
Oh no when we were 50km out of town we heard a pop and stopped to look at the car. Our caravan tyre was gone. Lots of guys drove past and offered to stop and help us. Three of them did stop and one guy called Russel stayed with us all day and helped a [...]
When we got to the Town of 1770 we did our jobs as usual and then I went down to the beach and made some friends. Their names were Indigo, Max and their little sister (I can’t remember her name). The camp site was right on the beach and it was nice to swim every [...]
When we were about to leave the Gold Coast I started feeling disappointed and upset. I wish that we could stay at the Gold Coast for a lot longer, but we had to go. The next spot we stayed was Coochin Creek campground. I didn’t really like it because it had heaps of mozzies and [...]
I was feeling so excited because we were very close to going to the theme parks on the Gold Coast. I had been looking forward to this week the whole trip and I was just about to explode like a volcano. The first day we went to Wet n’ Wild. Wet and wild was very [...]
We arrived in Valla Beach, did our regular setting up jobs and then we asked dad if we could do some fishing. There was a river and beach close by, with a great walking bridge across the river. This was where we decided to have a go at catching some fish. We caught nothing! I [...]
It was good to leave Sydney because it was the biggest capital city and it was very busy. We went to stay in a place called Broke, near the Hunter Valley. The Hunter Valley was a bit boring for me because there was a lot of wineries and we couldn’t drink anything. Mum and Dad [...]
Our next destination was Sydney. We were looking for our caravan park and on the way we were so excited because we crossed the Sydney Harbour Bridge, it was bigger than I expected and there was even a train track on the bridge. From the harbour bridge I could see the Opera House and Luna [...]
In Canberra we did lots of things in a few days. There is heaps of stuff to do in Canberra. The first day we went to Floriade and Parliament house. Floriade is a big display of flowers, they use mostly tulips and some daffodils. My dad loves gardening and he really wanted to go and [...]
This week we were going back to Melbourne to watch the AFL grand final. Luckily for me my team St Kilda was in the grand final and I was happy and excited to see them play this week. I was hoping to see Nick Riewoldt, he is the St Kilda captain. I told mum and [...]
This week we drove to a place called Cygnet. We were driving up a hill to visit some cheese places and a winery when a terrible thing happened. We broke down. Luckily we broke down near a house with some very friendly and nice people called Ruth and Fintan. They offered us help and rang [...]
On Saturday morning in Hobart we went to the markets, which was pretty bad because it was pouring with rain. Mum bought an umbrella but I still got wet. It was going to be Father’s day on Sunday so we got some honey, noughart, and other food for dad. Finally we went home from the [...]
This week we were finally going to go on the Spirit of Tasmania Ferry. I was feeling excited about going on the boat. The boat was big I was amazed when we drove onto it. There were a lot of cars with caravans on too, I couldn’t believe we would all fit. When we parked [...]
This week we stayed in Melbourne at the Sundowner Caravan Park. On Friday night we went to Etihad Stadium to watch Carlton and Geelong play footy. Carlton got thrashed but I liked it anyway, the stadium was very big and there were heaps of people there. On Tuesday we drove to Mt Baw Baw to [...]
On the way to the Brisbane ranges we drove along the Great Ocean Road. We saw some whales and some interesting rocks, called the twelve apostles. I counted them and there were only eight so I am not sure why they are called the twelve apostles. It was very cold and we had soup for [...]
This week we are going to Adelaide. When we first got there we had our disaster. Mum pulled a muscle in her back so we went to the hospital. It took a while for mum to get looked at by the doctors so we stayed up until 11.00pm. It was late and mum was still [...]
Mum and Dad decided to stay one more night at Streaky Bay, because it was such a nice place and was lovely and sunny. We went into town for a walk and when we came back we went to find some Razor fish. You have to look for Razor fish when the tide is out, [...]

During the first week we crossed the Nullarbor and one of the highlights was driving the longest straight stretch of road – 90 miles (146.6km). I liked it because there were interesting things to see on the side of the road such as emus, roadside signs and Rooey2: a large kangaroo at the border of [...]
I’m looking forward to going to the Gold Coast. I want to also see the grand final and go to the Great Barrier Reef. We are going to Tasmania on the 29th of August which is on my Mum’s birthday. On the 26th of August we are going to be in Melbourne which is my [...]
