Since we don't have to change campsites today, we agreed last night to sleep in without an alarm clock. Our oldest one wants a bottle at 9:30 a.m. It doesn't take long and the...

Even today, it would have been nice to stay in bed longer (no wonder with the late bedtimes), but we have to check out at 10am. So, we have to hurry this morning. We'll postpone...

The kids are sleeping in today. No wonder after the long bedtime marathon yesterday. We'll wake up Samuel at 9:30 a.m. We're all going to the kids' pool. There's a great slide...

We sleep in late as we went to bed very late yesterday. We want to take it easy today. We quickly drive to Woolworth and get fresh rolls and milk. Then we go to the big...

The night was very stormy and rainy. It continues to rain in the morning. We decide to have breakfast in the camper and hope for better weather. Unfortunately, the sun only...

I wake up in the night because it is very windy, almost stormy. Oh my goodness, we still have our laundry outside and without any fastening. I jump out of bed and hurry to the...

It was quite cold at night, so we briefly turned on the heater. However, it is already very warm in the morning because it is cloudless and we are parked in a sunny spot with...

We can't part with the beautiful rock formations of the Great Ocean Road and drive back to the Twelve Apostles after breakfast. We were there in the evenings for the last two...

We want to get our defective rear tire repaired and ask for a recommendation at the campsite. The nearest workshop is in Timboon, so we start heading north 15 km after...

Today we have a hiking day. We have breakfast at the campsite and then head to the Sundial Carpark. From there we go to the Pinnacle. It's cloudy and the temperatures are...

Yesterday, Samuel couldn't fall asleep at all. It took him about 2 hours to finally fall asleep. I think Michi and I dozed off a few times before him. Nevertheless, we are all...

Today we have a short distance ahead of us (from Kingston SE it is about 160 km to our destination Mount Gambier) and therefore we can take it easy. After a hearty breakfast, we...

Even today, we are not tempted to get up early. Last night, temperatures were slightly milder and we didn't have to pull the blanket over our ears. We could easily get used to...

The last two evenings, because of our sunset tours to the Remarkable Rocks, it has become late, so we all sleep in. Samuel is the first to wake up, shortly after 9 o'clock. It...

For safety reasons, we set our alarm clock. Our ferry to Kangaroo Island doesn't leave until 10 o'clock, but yesterday everyone stayed up late and we don't want to oversleep. We...

We definitely went to bed too late yesterday. The kids, and therefore we, only wake up at 9:15 am. There's not much time left until check-out at 10 am. We quickly pack up and...

Today the sun is shining again, but it's still quite windy. We have breakfast, I wash our laundry and Michi enjoys the playground with the kids. We drive from Port Augusta to...

Somehow we miss the one hour time difference between Northern Territory and South Australia (here the time is changed and so it stays light longer in the evening than in the...

We have had our 6-person Maui for just over 2 weeks now. We feel very comfortable in our 'little' mobile home (3.3m high and 7m long) and have also settled in quite well...
