The Great Ocean Road is GREAT!!!

Hi everyone!
We are now back in reception and back in contact - for the moment! We are in Melbourne spending a few days with Hans, Natasha and Eric Trinkle, which has been so lovely!
Tomorrow we head to TASMANIA!!!! We have to be at the boat at 7.30 am so I'll keep this brief and get back to making sure we are ready to depart early! We will arrive in Devonport at about 7pm that night, so we will let you all know how our boating day goes!

A hilarious but very regular sign we saw

We had a absolutely fabulous time along the great ocean road, taking our time to take in the amazing and wonderful things that God has made! At times it was slow going as Sara fell asleep in the car ad we had to sight views one at a time, but when she was awake, she seemed just as amazed as us at what she saw! We never realised there was sooooo much to see and also to learn about the various ship wrecks that occurred there.




From Warrnambool, we stayed a night in Peterborough, then the next night at Princetown (where we experienced the worst cooked fish ever!) and then camped the long weekend at Johanna Beach in the Otway National Park!

We met some great people at Johanna Beach and had a lot of fun with them! We also saw some of the inland beauty at Triplet Falls (a must see if you are ever there!) As Sara loves to say "Ooooo WOOOOWWW!!!"

Then on to Melbourne, with a night spent in a gorgeous Caravan Park at Cumberland River and lots more pretty coastal views and Dave even went in for a Surf at Bells beach! (Sara tried to collect all the rocks on Bells beach while he was in!)

In Melbourne we have done a little bit of shopping today, but mostly just enjoyed watching Sara and young Eric play together! They are hilarious how they sit and chatter (scheming as to who will be hard to put down tonight we suspect, as they have taken turns!) and laugh at the jokes between just them two!

Lots of love to you all and keep writing emails!

the WILSONS!! XOXO

More cute photos of Sara! I'm glad you had a good time catching up with the Trinkles too :)

Hope you are keeping warm (and well fed)...unfortunately I'm not in a position to obey James 2 and can't actually do anything for your physical needs! Still, hope all is still well. Those photos of the nature things are lovely, it's great hearing that you have a chance to appreciate the wonder of what God's made in our corner of the earth!

Love Schnook!

Hey guys, good to hear your trip is going well. Hope you have a chance to catch the Verne's in Tassie - they've been over here in Adelaide and were keen to catch you when they get back this week...
