Hi to all,

I hope you find this years blogg interesting to follow so we are underway now. We start with the end of 2010 with Christmas at Mum's place.

The Australia Day weekend we went to Albury for Mack's 21st birthday. We travelled up in the truck without the van, Mum travelled with us.

When the van went for a service we stayed with Mum in St Kilda. We went into town to go up the Eurka building & go on the edge. 

The Tassie ferr from the look out at the top, 360 degrees views, just great looking at Melbourne from that height.

In March we had a few birthdays; Tatania's in the middle of the month, with Isacc's 7th birthday on the 5th March, so like good Grandparents of we went to the park for his party.

March also saw us start our trip to the west, starting with the Beaufort rally of the Jayco club. We had a great weekend with our friends on the weekend.

We overnighted at a free camp just past Hamilton at Wannon Falls, this was a lovely camp spot of the road near the falls that had water coming over.

 We travelled south west to Kingston SE in SA, then along the Coorong and round to Victor Harbor for a few days to see friends that we met in Darwin last year. While there we did a day cruise on the Coorong, to see the end of the Murray River, having been to Tom Groggin near the start of the river were it is a pretty little river to see the end was great.

Shells & bones on the miden were people have lived for many thousands of years

Student from a private school on the Coorong, the weather was  cold, wet & windy.

I do hope you all like the photos that Ian & I have taken to show you what we have been up to over the last few months. From Victor Harbor we had to return to Victoria for a few days. Our next blog will take up in Horshorm, so see you all soon.
