The first month -- Perth to Tasmania

We are already a month down the road since we left Perth. The blog starts now, with Karen's help.

It's been interesting, fun and frustrating all at the same time. Interesting to see the countryside change from a very hot and dry Perth, over the Nullarbor, where it was barren, empty and dry, but often quite windy and cool, to a very wet Melbourne and a cold but very green Tasmania.

Fun meeting other campers and caravaners and getting to know the tricks of the trade: also dealing with the huge trucks and road trains with which we were sharing the road - or having to give them the whole road!

Frustrating as many things went wrong with the Winnebago, mostly minor irritations but too many of them, and a couple of major problems. This necessitated a visit to Winnebago, Adelaide and today she is at Winnebago, Hobart for repairs. May this be the end of the problems.


Glad we got past him while he was still parked!


No sharing here!
Great Ocean Road -- stunning scenery


After a break with Karen over Christmas and New Year we will soon be on the road again.

Watching the world's weather has been an experience and although it is less warm here than we might like it, we are perhaps not in the worst place.


There will be regular posts on this blog from now on.

Happy New Year to everyone.
