More from Wilson's Prom

M takes a 16km solo walk to Oberon Bay while J and kids explore Tidal River. The next day was a visit to Darby River, where tiger snakes abound (only the two boys have avoided encounters with tiger snakes now).








Little Oberon Bay



Not sure where this guy's off to but he doesn't look happy about it.
The dumping shorebreak at Little Oberon Bay



These guys were a classic. They would stand right where this big shorebreak would smash on the sand and let it push them up the beach

Wilson's Promontory

Wilson's Promontory hasn't disappointed! The sun is warm but the wind has ice in it. Fantastic afternoon of exploring and our newly discovered sport of geocaching (look it up).
















We'd been keen to see wombats for weeks now but only ever met the wombatus roadkillei species. But at Wilsons Prom, they just wander through our camp.

All the time in the world, but no time for blogging

You'd never have thought so, but we just can't find the time to write the goings on of our travels in these pages. So instead, we will change tact a bit and make these pages a photo journal. After all, a picture tells a thousand words and we already have thousands of pics!

We've added a few features (like the route that we have taken so far), and we'll drop a few of our better or more amusing photos in so you can all see what we are up to.

We left Brisbane on 7th October and spent two months touring what turned out to be a mostly cold and windy New South Wales / ACT. But we've had a great time nonetheless and have had an absolute ball exploring this fantastic country, spending time with each other and meeting new people with stories of their own.

A whole year to explore Oz seemed like oodles of time to us, but after two months in NSW we feel like we hardly stratched the surface. We like to spend at least 4-5 days in one location if we can (packing up can be a real pain), so that means there aren't all that many stops and we inevitably drive past many great places.

So here we are, we'll do our best to add a few pics for each location we stay at............
