Individual posts for places we’ve stayed while on the road
19—22 Sep—Keith, SA As we set off for the day we travelled on the A1/Prices Highway and turned right onto the Riddoch Highway to head to Keith showground and it was very windy for the whole trip. After we had set up we went driving around town, a very small country town. We found a …
15—19 Sep—Mt Gambier, SA We were on our way again and travelled on the The Great Ocean Rd heading toward Allensford and turned onto the A1/Princes Highway to Warrnambool. Just out of Tyrendarra we turned onto Mount Clay Rd and travelled on a beautiful, scenic, well maintained country road. We re-joined the A1/Princes Highway at …
11—15 Sep—Pt Campbell, VIC We woke to rain on Thursday and got ready to leave Geelong, we turned left onto Breakwater Rd and then left onto Settlement Rd/High St/Colac Rd onto the M1 for 1 km and then onto Anglesea Rd and turned right onto the Great Ocean and then all the way to Port …
8—11 Sep—Geelong, VIC On Monday as we left Bendigo we continued on the Midland Highway through Ravenswood and then onto Daylesford Rd at Daylesford and then turned onto Geelong Rd through to Geelong and travelled through town to the showground.

19—30 Aug—Cassilis, NSW Leaving Morisset we travelled north on the M1/Pacific Motorway and we turned left onto the Hunter Expressway and then left onto the Golden Highway toward Cassilis—pronounced (according to locals) as “CASS-ilis”, not “ca-SIL-is” (although naturally Google only understands the former!). We stopped at Merriwa Bakery and had pies and a pasty for …
14—19 Aug—Morisset, NSW We’ve stayed here in the showground before and explored the area, so not a lot of that this time around. Good thing, as the weather is not fantastic and the grounds are very muddy. We’ve had a fuse in the truck blow—the one that feeds the “house” battery for the fridge, etc—a …
