After a wicked extended weekend stay in Adelaide Nicola and I decided to take the Great Ocean road detour before heading up to the blue mountains to finish our aussie time off.
However, as things were starting to look like we were going to have a smooth trip and a nice relaxing few days touring scenic ocean roads and white sand beaches our plans were derailed.
Driving through a particularly deserted looking stretch of road about two hours from Adelaide I said to Nicola "Wow, it would sure suck to break down here!". So of course not 5 minutes later a loud bang followed by a rattle and then instant deceleration. Millie Vanillie had enough!!!!
After getting towed to a local caravan park we crashed the local pub's snitzel night and drowned our sorrows in too much red wine.
So live and learn........luckily our good friends JT and Claire were willing to put up with us a little longer in Adelaide and JT is even helping us sort out the van issues and hopefully re-sell it when it is ready!!!

So after all this drama we still ended up getting a great weekend in, me with JT and BIll for a road trip to Arapiles(footage coming soon!). Nicola, Claire and Isobel had a great girls weekend on beaches and doing touristy stuff(photos coming soon!).
Hope everybody is well and keep sending those emails we love to hear from you!!!!
cheers,
nick
