Of trees & trials-first motoring mishap

On leaving Port Macquarie and rounding a bend at 95Km/h, a caravan towed by a ute in front of us lost a good deal of his load. With debris spread over both lanes, it was a matter of running over what we couldn't avoid. A mighty whump followed and on arriving at Coffs Harbour, we found quite a bit of our undercarriage plumbing mising. Handy Mr Fixit has his work cut out tomorrow! (Maybe he can rig something up using this Thong Tree?)

Blown away by this house when we drove the Great Ocean Road a while ago, but didn’t get a photo then. Now we’re tripping it again with Katie and managed to stop nearby for a pic. Suspended 40 metres above the road at Fairhaven Beach, it’s the most photographed house on the Great Ocean Road, probably Australia, and was featured on their Grand Designs a few years ago.

It's very dusty here but there's a huge artesian basin below the Barkly Tablelands and it's reasonably green, with beef grazing a major local industry.
