After the Great Ocean Road it was time to get home so Fiona could fly out to Kenya. We knew it was going to be a big trip so we got too it!

Our GPS unit wouldn't look much more interesting than this for the next few days ... having said that, I have no idea how the first explorers made it anywhere without a GPS?
Picture
The start of the Nullabor Road ... very long very straight very boring ... but fun non the less!
Picture
We stopped at Kalgoorlie for a night and looked into a big hole!
Picture
This would be my view for the majority of this leg of the journey
We finally made it home on the 24th of March 2014 !!!

Back in Perth again!

A lot dirtier and a bit older!
We made it home a lot dirtier, a bit older (nearly 8 months) and hopefully much wiser. We were on the road a total of 227 days, we crossed 311 train tracks, drove 25,781 kilometers and used 4,690 liters of diesel. We made heaps of friends and countless memories. It was a trip we will remember forever! Thank you to everyone we met along the way, it wouldn't have been the same without you all.

We don't regret for a second, anything we did along our trip. We loved every second of it and we have memories that will last us a lifetime. We have an amazing country with changing landscapes around every corner. If you have even an inkling to explore it we suggest you go, you will not be disappointed!

We suspect that this will not be our last trip around this great country we call Australia, but for now we have a whole world of new adventures ahead of us.

Signing off for now!

Cheers
Anthony, Fiona, Zoe, Pippa and Lucy

XOXO

It was time to head back to Monbulk to hang out with the van Bremen's. This time we stayed on their property overlooking the Yarra Valley.

It was fantastic to wake up to this view every morning!

A misty morning.

Some amazing clouds at dusk
William and I had a ball. He took me out sailing on Lake Eildon, we drank a "little bit" of wine and we did a bit of work around the farm ... sorry about the tractor William !!!
Picture
Our "camping spot" on Lake Eildon for the night ... ah the serenity ... Bonydoon (from the movie "The Castle") is actually located on the shores of Lake Eildon
Picture
Gulp gulp gulp!

The girls posing, me on the tractor in the background doing manly stuff!
We could have spent a lot longer here enjoying the company of Will and Merryn, but Fiona was heading off to Kenya for a weeks visit. Thanks Will, Merryn and kids for being such great friends and being so hospitable!
