Jerilderie to Dromana We awoke to a cold clear day. A quick breakfast and pack up and we were driving through Jerilderie township just after 8:30. Passing the Royal Hotel we had to be quick to notice a grey signboard featuring bushranger Ned Kelly. Hope you can spot it too. To our right was a …
After returning from our trip to the SW of the USA we had a few weeks at home tending to our garden and catching up with family. As winter set in and the weather cooled down we confirmed our plans to head north to warmer weather in Queensland again. Dromana to Jerilderie Leaving mid morning …
Even though winter is upon us taking a walk is always on our agenda. So when our Mornington Peninsula Australian Plants Society group organised a walk at Bunarong Park in Frankston we were interested to join in. The tricky bit is that there are not a lot of car parking spaces there so we made …
Ever since we had seen Attila Kapitany do a presentation about Australian desert plants for our Mornington Peninsula Australian Plants group a few years back we had wanted to visit the garden he and his wife Michele have created out at Narre Warren North.

Euroa to Dromana It was another cold morning but nowhere near as cold as the morning before. We were soon on the road and heading down the Hume. At the Seymour sign we exited. We drove through the town and onto the road to Yea. This route allows us to go around the east side …
Brr, it was really cold. The caravan may be insulated and the heater was on but at 4:09 Karen and I were both trying to warm up. We put another doona on the bed and turned up the heater. That soon helped. My weather app told us it was zero and would head down another …
As we set off from Mildura just after 8:30am we were in two minds as to whether we could make it all the way home to Dromana or whether we would spend another night just out of Melbourne before crossing the city. According to Google maps it was 635kms and an estimated 7 hours. Anyhow …
Now that we are retired and no longer teach we can take our caravan away before or after school holidays. Cape Paterson is on the southern coast of west Gippsland and we planned to meet up with friends at the caravan park there. Our trip down on the Friday, after lunching at home, took us …
