Hey folks,
Matt here, just a quickie to let you all know we just visited the Grampians in western Victoria for a few days.
We managed to haul ourselves up mountains, down mountains and over mountains, in fact if you like anything about mountains then the Grampians are your thing!
Everywhere you looked it was a photo opportunity and from the ones on the blog, it does not do them justice really, but, hopefully it gives you some idea of how nice the place is.
The roads wind around the regions mountains and is covered with walking tracks for anyone wish to take a hike they are graded from easy, medium to hard. The average daily temp was around 25-30C with not too much humidity and followed by a daily afternoon thunderstorm, and, to our friend BB in Blackpool in the UK (who is shivering his buttocks off at the moment), you would love it!
We are currently heading up into the north western part of Victoria before heading down to Bendigo and Ballarat then into Warrnabool and along the Great Ocean road and into Melbourne to catch a ferry to Tasmania.
Hope everyone is doing well and you are enjoying our blog, I looked the mileage on the vehicle today and so far we have travelled 35,000km... with probably another 10,000km to go!
Ciao for now.

P.S Just want to say what a diabolical and tragic shame that both Aussies and the Poms missed out on the World Cup hosting! What an outrage; where did the $43M we paid our team go? If they spent it on bribes for votes - and we only got one - the powers that be should be demanding a refund. And isnt Qatar something that you get stuck on your chest when you have a bad cold? Words fail me.... Matt
