Humble beginnings (a woman's perspective)

So I figured you'd probably wanna hear not just from me but from Robyn as well, so she's written this post.

But just to get us all ready, here's one of my favourite pics.  I call it, "Like father, like daughter."

Talk soon.

The adventure has begun! It took us a lot longer than we anticipated to sort out our belongings at J's parents' place and load up our troopy, but after throwing the last things in the back of Russell at 5:30 Saturday night we finally managed to get on the road. First destination: Warrnambool.

It's pretty fun being self-contained in our troopy! All we need is a place to park and we can crawl into the back to sleep. Port Fairy was that place and much appreciated was that sleep. Before making our way to church in Warrnambool, we stopped off at the beach and then explored Tower Hill Reserve. We walked to the peak and quickly made friends with the locals - kangaroos, rabbits, wallabies and emus. Yes, emus! We sang our hallelujahs on our descent back to the car happy snapping at the wildlife on the way and then headed off to church.

We have since arrived in South Australia and are starting to feel like we are actually on the road now. We've visited the Blue Lake in Mount Gambier (the brightest blue you can imagine and an average of 80 metres depth and up to 200 meters in the deepest parts!), we've spent the night at Mt Schank and climbed to the top of the crater as well as right down to the floor of it and are having fun fiddling around with our set up, showering in a bucket and cooking on a gas stove. Japanese okonomiyaki was on the menu tonight and boy was it yummy! 

Many more adventures to come,
