We had to take the Jackaroo down by 9.30am, we then wandered down the street and looked at the shops. About an hour or so later we had a call from the Mechanic saying it was the fuel pump, fuel was getting through but there was no pressure. It wasn’t as expensive as we thought … Continue reading Day 29 – 29th April
Day 28 – 28th April
It’s time to get up its 6 O’clock; it’s time to get up its 6 O’clock. That is what we woke to this morning and being the first words you hear as you wake from your slumber those words kept going through my head for an hour or so later “its 6 O’clock; it’s time … Continue reading Day 28 – 28th April
Day 27 – 27th April
Well we were willing and able to do our bit but the weather let us down once more. It started raining at 4am, got heavy at 4.40am and by 6am it was still drizzling. So no sunrise and we thought the day wasn’t going to be much chop but the weather changes quickly down here … Continue reading Day 27 – 27th April
Day 26 – 26th April
It was a cool night, but apparently not as cold as Port Campbell that got down to 5 degrees. We left Johanna beach and made our way toward Port Campbell, stopping briefly at Princetown which is basically a 2 shop town. Does have a caravan park and a Camping Reserve down by the river, cost … Continue reading Day 26 – 26th April
Day 25 -25th April
We had a good night sleep with everyone being quiet; it was a cold night though. We had a nice sleep in and a leisurely morning before packing our lunch and heading off to the Cape Otway Lightstation. The light has been operating since 1848 and is on towering sea cliffs 80 meters above where … Continue reading Day 25 -25th April

Day 24- 24th April
We had such nice neighbours who moved on yesterday only to be replaced by some very inconsiderate rude so and so’s. They talked loud, had loud music on until nearly 2am last night, obviously keeping us awake. There was also another group a bit further up just outside the park keeping people awake up there. … Continue reading Day 24- 24th April
Day 23 -23rd April
We have decided to book in for another night at the park, several reasons the biggest one is the Jackaroo is having some issues. It runs on Gas and Unleaded Petrol, well the petrol side isn't working at all. Leaving us only gas and with our short towing range on Gas it has the potential to have … Continue reading Day 23 -23rd April
Day 22 – 22nd April
The legs are not quite as sore today. We have had a couple of bus loads of boys staying at the park, even though they did quieten down at night they have made big messes in the toilet block every day. We started off a bit earlier today, we headed back up the road we … Continue reading Day 22 – 22nd April
