Well this morning was a early start wasn't it, 4.45am and then off to the tram, then from the tram to the gym by 6am, then work....
But it was the greatest morning by far.. I met 2 blokes on their way to work which helped me with the tram and which stop to get off... and as the tram was 20min, we had a good old yarn.... and they even thought i was 20....
Which I came to the realisation that in 20 days I will be 26, mean closer to 30, but for some reason I have this sense of calmness over me, I have let go of things that were bring me down and i was holding on too.... and I just feel refreshed
I must say going to the gym and being up at early did help my soul, felt soooooooo goood.
Then I was off on my way to work and smelling of vingar as it leaked onto my work shirt, but bit of cleansing didn't hurt either...I also learnt how to poach eggs in the mircowave and DAM i was impressed with myself as they were goood, better than i thought,
Then I was on tram home and Life is great, funny how the littlest things can make life that whole much better..
Not long till I fly home...... 10sleeps
vinny and big tez
the set up

Then I was off to see if i can find my way around the city and the gym and work, and the place where I was to park... omg its a bit nervous but as I was on my way home i happen to find myself in HARBOURTOWN... to do food shopping lol and I ended up walking round the whole place, must say not as good as goldy one, but it was nice to just wonder around the shops, Then I came back to and sat in the sun and read the paper... life was bliss....
Today i was awake at the crack of dawn, and nerves were setting in, as I did not want to go to the wrong office... ahah but guess what i ended up at the wrong office again... i really should not make a habbit of this lol... but I have managed to get past the first day nerves and will be back for round 2.......... a bonus is I am off to the GYM and get back into it....

I have arrived to RADELIADE........
Well ladies n gents I have officially made it to radelaide, after long long days of driving and wet n more wetness....
But today I am so excited to have made it and the park its awesome, and sooooo many tourists which is even better.
Robetown was lovely had some awesome points and history, There were so many shipwrecks along the coastal shores that we never learn about at school. Theses shipwrecks are part of the creation these townships. I just loved the last couple of days, and if i planned better would have more time to get to radelaide, but now that I have made it, I am so glad that I can sleep in knowing that I don't have to get up and rush off anywhere or have to drive for that matter....
I have to say a few towns I stopped in and then past some ppl on the road I had my doubts of how many rednecks live in South Aust. As this town everyone had mullets with shaved heads and theses mad moushaces... and i was like omg please..... It was quite funny really
But must admit this t/a store had a Quote picture
1. CHALLENGE: Create the trail, don't follow the path
I thought it was rather meaningful,
then i read my daily Quote calender and it said 'He has achieved success, who has lived well, laughed often and loved much'
Which was another good one
I am going to potter at the beach, doing some washing, food shopping normal life chores, and even find my way to work, so I don't have a mishap like Hobart.... ahah too funny...
Best thing bout staying here is i paid for 10 stay for 11, whooooo thats a extra $32bucks savings.... yeah boi...
OMG - Just have to share as I type this, my fellow camper next door, is pumping the music out which makes me feel like I am in the streets of Byron bay and listen to the buskers... or maybe its Indian music... i am not sure..... but he did not say hello to me when I Said hello too him....

Fuel Game 2 round go to Hannah, 0 wins to Fuel Tank
Well it was another day of action packed driving and looking at spots along the coast, I have worked out on Thursday I drove 320km
Friday I drove 300km
Today Saturday I drove a massive leg of 424kms huge leg
But I have to say I have stopped and pottered around the place, after I left port Campbell i stopped along the way looking at all the natural landmarks our lovely country. Spoke to fellow travellers about their adventures. I must admits I am a little disgusted in toursit, the amount of rubbish and durry butts everywhere at each land mark is appalling, esp at the 12 apostles. how hard it is to respect our land, before u know they will be charging us to see the national parks just like they do in tassie. anywhoo I got into warrnambool and wow the foreshore is great, I can see. my self there in summer chillaxing, then I was off to port fairy which is another lovely spot. now mind u the weather was not the greatest it was wet raining, so my pottering was limited but great. The I went to Portland bay, AMAZING i could live there too, and they even have a lil tram ride for tourists to have a look around and it goes past peoples houses like a foot path... coolest thing, then I was like should I keep driving and i was like yeah there must be sun shine some where,.
Nelson is the last town in VIC before crossing over, to S.A which i took a pic... as I have never been to S.A
So off I went to to port McDonnell another] great coastal town, and some of the beaches and beach house would take gold a run for their money... But I was in the mind set to get going and make it to ROBE, which I will potter around before making my final leg to Adelaide and chillxing on Monday before work on Tuesday..
Now mind u I have to VENT... in tassie i cope road abuse due to NSW plates and tassie do not know how to merge over....
Well When I got into S.A if a car towing a caravan moves over the left more so, to allow the car behind u to pass, the car behind should not hesitate and not be afraid to cross onto the other side of the road, that's wat the broken dotted lines are for.... happened about 4times, and I put my lil blinker on twice then off so they know..... but must be a truck thing. and just like trucks if u sitt up on a caravan ass even with my wide mirrors I can't see u and If i stopped suddenly god knows wat would have happened....
Anyway as u can see I can only yell out into the car to myself.... so u have to read it after.... lol
Another actioned packed day tomz, and No more fuel games, as I am up 2 and fuel tank 0, but I don't want it to win....

The G.O.R is amazing
Wow what a great sleep I had on the Boat, so good to sleep in a room with controlled tempauture and not have to sleep with layers n layers of clothes...
Off the boat nice and early know checking for flamables this time pffttt, and waited for Clare. We had a lovely a breaky and caught up on the last 6weeks, So good, but time was running away and I had to get going along the great ocean road.
I was soo excited and I still am about this next chapter, for some reason I am so oo oo excited. I got to Torquay and went to the outlets to find a girl i used to work with or live well drink with in buller crystal... so random but good,
Then I was off to Bells beach, can't not stop, and it was pissing down rain, but i got out of the car when to the viewing spot to take some pics then I was off again....
This stage is was pissing down harder and the view was not great it was still amazing, Lorne is cute town, but just outside if lorne the slippery roads were true to their slipperness, as a couple on a motorcycle went round the bend and came off, the guy was fine but the lady was not in a good way, and it was only fresh as no ambos.
Once I got past there i was crusing along chilling and enjoying the road and views, coming into Apollo Bay (now thats a cute beach town) I was gonig to find somewhere to nap but I could not find, so I kept on going, i forgot to say do not have fish n chips n Lorne (YUCK YUCK YUCK) worst ever.....
As i was out on the west side of Apollo you head inland for a while which is amazing i stopped at a viewing point ran up the hill to get the legs going, then i was back in the car till i reached
THE 12 APOSTLES....................
OMG wat another magical place in Australia.... the height of the cliffs, colour of the rocks, the waves, the view omg go on get your lists out again and put that on the 2 do some lists, spent time there, and took pictures for the forgeiners, just the thing i do, happens everywhere, but these were sexy european guys studying on exchange her, so really I was more than to happy help... ;)
The I went to LORD ARD where a ship crashed and stuff, which is also amazing, then it was time to get to Port Campbell as it as 5.30 getting dark, i was tired and I needed to set up.
Now PORT CAMPBELL HOLIDAY PARK, so far is the best carvan park I have stayed at so far. The camp kitchen (great), have lounges with TV comfortable, and the amenities a great too, I think its a new block but very well looked after.
I was all set up and wanted to just get a good pub feed, but in no luck as the was expeno in each spot and the pub more so, but I found a nice place , publike but not really, had some garlic prawns (yummy) and chilled with a glass of wine....
Now until tomz when the adventures begins again to finish the G.O.R

Farewell Tasmaina Hello Great ocean rd
Well yesterday was a amazing day, Woke up to the crisp morning air, sunrise with no clouds in the sky, Ice covering Vinny but I was up and add it packing up the life of Hannah and Gearing up for a long drive up the centre.
As I was leaving Hobart, the cops were on rads of cars, and on the other side of the road there was a caravan getting searched, so glad sooo sooo glad that was not me.
But I was off and driving along day dreaming about life and my next adventure and those who know 'Roger' he may have came in my day dream too (those who don't know roger, he is just my mystery man in my day dream.) ahahahh
Then I passed a train park where I played when i was on hockey tour back when I was 16, and bought back some awesome memories. oh the good old days
Once I made it to Launcestion, I picked up Beth and OMG has to reverse Vinny out of the centrelink car park, omg didn't I shit my self girl ou because the call centre windows u can see out real good, but I made it, Sent Beth a msg saying ' i am the out the front thats everyone is staring at. lol But it was good to see her as its been like5 years, which was so nice to catch up and hear about each othes lives
The it was time to keep heading on to Devonport to catch the boat, which I stopped in a smll town called Westberry (i will have to confirm and get back to you on that) but had a great chat with the guy that owns the post office and Said his business if up for sale, so those who want to move to tassie and run a post office in a town of population 1000, go for it
,
I got onto the boat and checked into my room, sharing with another girl from Scotland but lives in the Flinders ranges, and to our lovely surprise we were greet with a used dommy wrapper and spare one, not sure what they were trying to imply, but good work house keepers. The difference in sleeping in the berth than the recliners omg 100% great nite sleep with some good pills to help with the rocking, and out like a light.
Now I am sitting in port Melbourne waiting on Clare bear so we can have breaky and its off onto the great ocean road whooooooooooooo

Challenge of the Cards
Well today was my last day in Hobart and wasn't it a fresh start to the day, which turned out to be a awesome day. Kirsty from work made some amazing fresh scones with jam and cream... oh my yummy... Then I was gifted with some beautiful pictures of hobart and snow capped mt wellington and my fave Wine Glass Bay.
I have to admitt my time here has in all honestly been Quite Plesant minor the gastro and home sickness the smll adventures I went on and work was lovely as it felt like I was there forever
But as time goes on so does this adventure, I spent the nite with Adam and Katy watching the footy and seening the blues tough it out, but just could not hang onto it..
I have also got a lovely card from work which I think is funny as I am getting a collecting of cards which happen to be the same but with different lovely messsages, so the challenge is out to see how many cards I can get the same lol
Got a early start to pack up vinny boy and load him onto big tez and mozie my way up to the top to start my leg of the spirit of tasmainia....
Now just so my fellow readers I am plugging myself, but I have entered into TOAST OF A NATION vegemite compeition which I need you all to help vote for me, I could get my face on vegemite and some other prizes, (which i really dont know)
