Not a bad spot to wake up in – Albury – Mist on the water n everything
OFF TO KOSCIUSKO
Our homeward bound leg starts today. Bess is flying back from Sydney and we head off through the mountains to Canberra, Orange, Blue Mountains, Sydney (or something like that)
SINGLE DAD
Must admit I quite enjoyed my stint as a single Dad. Not sure how single parents with multiple kids do it though!
I found out that Harvey Norman and Bunnings are fantastic playgrounds. Much more interesting for all of us, indoors, out of the sun and FREE. We played house for hours.
WEARY TRAVELER
Met another weary traveler yesterday. An old bloke called Sid!. Lived in his car for 22 years.
He was saying how many of the government restrictions have made it harder than ever for him to survive. I think the roaming lifestyle should be a part of Australian heritage. Anyway it’s interesting that all these less happy tales are popping up towards the end of our trip.
GOTTA CLEAN THE WINNEBAGO and make everything ship shape and Bristol fashion for Mummy’s return so keeping the blog short today.

Love what you are doing it is just great and in my favourite the Winnebago, you are living mine and my husbands dream. Good luck to you and your lovely family. Oh and have a nice Easter
Kind Regards,

Hi Geoff – As a fellow family man and father (of two beautiful daughters) I have a tip for when BlueBelle has trouble sleeping. When my daughters’ were young, I used to hold them and walk in deliberate pronounced steps and gently pat their rumps in time with each step. The trick was to time the steps so they roughly matched a heartbeat. About one step every second. It seemed to magically comfort them. Softly singing a familiar song at the same time also helps. Enjoying your great adventure! Cheers, Simon
