Made it to Melbourne











From Lakes Entrance we decided to push through and do the big drive to Melbourne as we wanted to have a couple of days before heading to Tassie. At about 7pm we pulled into the Ashley Gardens Caravan Park in Braybrook, Melbourne and headed straight for the pool! Thank goodness Warwick loaned us his GPS before we left or we would have arrived a lot later. We really had no idea where we were going but the NavMan saved us!! The following day we did a big Melbourne tour. We did a few loops of the city in the free tourist tram, walked to Lygon Street, lunched in Chinatown, took a river cruise up to Toorak, looked around Federation Square, Flinders Street Station and the gorgeous narrow laneways throughout the city. Then back to the pool! It was a full-on day (and about 32 degrees) but really fun.

  2. Hi girls, and Sam and Simon - looks like you are having a fun time - what has been your favourite bit so far?? Simon - have you had any luck fishing yet?? Sam - how is the teaching going of Ashie, have you had to put her on detention yet?? We are back at school now, our teachers are OK, and it is boring already - but we haven't been on detention yet. We have been doing lots of waterskiing, Oscar got up on a plank thingy, and Hunter can now ski very well on one. Trixie started pre-school and she loves it - having a ball - talk to you soon the H.O.T Wards (Hunter, Oscar and Trixie)
