11th 12th April

We used our camping ground as a base and drove off towards Greens Pools . Buses needed a run to build up batteries because of a couple of cloudy days and us not travelling far to charge batteries.

Elephant Rocks and Greens Pools are in the William Bay National Park and just around the headland from each other.

Elephant Rocks are interesting. Sal and went for a swim and felt the strong pull as the waves surged in and out. I ended up holding onto a rock to stop being tucked out just waiting for the surge in. 
Initially it looked harmless but we sat in the rocks and warched as unsuspecting swimmeŕs got in and nearly swept out. One minute it was sandy and you could walk out knee deep for ages. Next thing a surge comes in and a wave you are waist deep being swept in. What comes in must go out. It is a wonder people haven't drowned there.

More family friendly is Greens Pool. 
Water is clear and a few fish around to look at.

Enough sun then back to Denmark. Weather was hot so we just had a quick look and headed off back to our site. 

Had a successful camp oven pizza. Washed down with a red. 

Saturday was a cooler cloudy day. We are wrestling with power issues because no travel and no sun. Just have to gethrough tonight and we are driving a bit tomorrow to a powered site.

Went for a walk up behind the beach.  There is a track called the
It runs from Albany to Perth. We did part of that and part fire trails. 
Snake signs everywhere makes you keep your head down but we didn't meet any. 
We found this bush shelter and it was really well built by someone. 
Quiet arvo going to enjoy a pork curry later.

Day 1.

Image
Well after thinking we were getting away early to start the trip plans changed. After Sal did her laps at Woonona pool we had a great breakfast with all the family and Lous parents at the North Break Cafe at Woonona. Photos and a couple of tears from Sal and we got away about 10.30am.  Easy drive to Yass and Sal took over while I slept in the back.  Wandered around Gundagai in some reasonable heat decided on Criterion Pub for pizza later and chilling in van.  Lost my horn as we were farewelling Oreste so maintenance starts already. Otherwise all going well.  Click on the link and hopefully a video will appear thanks to Leanne and her brains trust. Gundagai Free Camp https://youtube.com/shorts/lkXXHWhd0cQ?feature=shared

Day 2

Image
Quiet night with all fans blowing hard keeping it at an acceptable temperature. Early start along highway. Saw a truck rollover but he considerately went off the road to do it so no hold up. No one was injured. The driver was talking to the Police probably trying to convince him he didn't fall asleep on a straight stretch of road. All workers on hand at Holbrook painting the submarine. The submariners return every Australia day and paint her up. They stay in town and have a few drinks together at the local pub. Off to Echuca to hopefully find a spot by the river. The co-pilot wanted to do more driving so here she goes. Next to no traffic. It is a nice feeling to be on the 🛣️ again. Stopped in Rutherglen. Nice street to wander along. Old buildings interesting shops. Onto Murray Valley Highway and found our way to Chisties Beach on the Murray just out of Echuca. Found this great spot and waded in for a dip.  No serenity. It is filled with ski boats and jet skis, house bo...

Packing the motorhome a week out.

Image
 Well it is just a week away before we head off on our Biggest Trip ever. We are in the motorhome in Tassie for most of February. We are meeting friends at Geelong and doing some cycle rail trails for a few days.  After that we are exploring places along the coast towards the Nullabour. Then explore the areas towards the Margaret River Region.  We are leaving the motorhome at Perth Airport and pick up a car to travel up to Exmouth. Swim with Whale Sharks up there and snorkeling.  Back to Perth and fly over to Bali and meet the family there for a week. We are heading to another area in Bali for another week. From Perth we wander back exploring places we missed on the way.  We anticipate the trip will end back home in July.
