Day 21. The show must go on

With a the past few days being muggy and hot, sleep has been limited and we have all been somewhat short with each other. Nonetheless, the show must go on. Really it's not that bad, but 5 people living in what is approximately 14m2 space does make for some compromises.

Today we decided it was time for some much needed fun and relaxation so the only place to be was Luna Park, just below the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

We arrived relatively early to make sure we missed the crowds, to our surprise, even in the middle of the day, the crowds were quite small.

Some of the rides were far to crazy even for the adults, however we all managed to find something we liked. The favourite of the day bar far was the roller coaster. For me, the engineer, it seemed a little to rickiedy, but we still all went on and had a blast.

















The day just flew by and it was hard to believe that we managed yet again to spend the whole day out.

In the afternoon, we met up with a work colleague who took us out for a wonderful dinner at a Spanish BBQ house. The selection of BBQ Meats was simply amazing.

After dinner, we all wondered down to the Lint Coffee and ordered some great deserts, whcih we all struggled fit in after the great dinner we had.

We managed to get home before the trains stopped running and the track works begun.

Who knows what tomorrow will bring.

Day 28. Are we there yet............

Last night it was actually cold enough to sleep under our doonas for the first time in close to a month. WOOP WOOP, the simple things in life. With our departure in the morning being a little sluggish, thanks to a good night sleep, we said our goodbyes and headed south, for our last leg of the edventure before heading onto the spirit and then home soil once again. The drive was big and boring, but the roads were fantastic so we made good progress over all. We stoped along the way at the famous Dog on the Tuckerbox and Ettamogah Pub  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ettamogah_Pub  to stretch our legs an grab some food before arriving in Melbourne at 5:30ish. We set up shop quickly, practice makes perfect, with the need for the diesel heater becoming apparent on sunset as the temperature dropped into almost single digits. Tonight we settle down to sleep knowing that in a few days we will be on the boat back home. It seems like only yesterday we left Tasma...

Day 29. Such is Life

With the overnight temperatures being nice and cool we all got a decent night sleep and the morning things just went well, brekky done, washing down, it all just kind of worked. We haven't really planned much for Melbourne, so we are just playing it by ear. First stop the DFO to purchase much needed back to school shoes for the small ones.I tell you what, if kids feet go by the same mantra like dogs and grow into them, then my kids are going to be like 7 foot tall!!  Dollars spent and bored boys; we headed back into town to visit the Melbourne Gaol. We have never been here but have heard good things about it and we were not disappointed. Firstly, we were all locked up in the watch house, role play of course,  and shown around the old Remand Centre which was in operation well into the mid 90s. From there on, we headed out into the main old Melbourne Gaol. WOW what a site, we had completely...
