Woke up in one of the most serene spots yet. Just outside Wodonga BlueBelle and I stopped off at the little township of Glenrowan where Ned Kelly made his last stand. There were about 10 places to eat and 5 souvenir shops and not much else. Still we had fun playing with the Ned Kelly Teddy Bears. [...]

RIGHT BY THE RIVER Found a STUNNING spot to stay the night right in the city by the river. I reckon a hotel room in the area would be around the $450+ a night. Gotta love this lifestyle. ‘GOD’ WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS – Well I didn’t need to sneak in the Atheist conference – [...]

Yesterdays dustbin diving was relatively successful. I got some half eaten bananas a half drunk can of coke and some past used by frozen Pizza. Don’t panic Bessie n BlueBelle didn’t have any. There was other stuff but I would have needed to be on survival exercise to have eaten it. In the Marines we [...]

House bound for year with life threatening allergies to the outside world Julie had to wear a GAS MASK and was resuscitated 17 times after attempting to go outside. Someone introduced her to a technique called Access Consciousness – Within [...]
