So, Christine (that’s me), true to form, has spent the last three months planning our trip. We are driving around Australia in our AWD Tucson. We are not towing a caravan! The first leg of our journey is from home (Artisans on the hill, Mondrook, NSW) to Perth. This leg is just the two of us! Once we arrive on the West Coast, we will leave our car with my brother and sister-in-law – Tim and Moira – and fly to Cocos Islands to spend two weeks with our daughter, Caitlin, son-in-law, Matthew and our gorgeous grandson, Lincoln, or Link as he is usually known. Returning to WA, we will have a few days of repacking and then we will start out on our return journey. Tim and Moira will be joining us for about half this journey. Peter and I are really looking forward to this time together.

Day 11 – 18 February – Benalla to Young
A much more relaxed day today! We decided to have a further wander around to try and discover some more of the Benalla street art. We found a few impressive pieces, before we had breakfast. Breakfast was in a café called The Press. I chose this because it came highly recommended amongst all the Benalla…
Day 10 – 17 February – Bendigo to Benalla – The Silo Trail
In all our travels, I will always research places that have either silo, water tower, street art or murals. This trip was no exception. Today, was spent finding, gazing, photographing and being in awe of the talented artists who cover such vast areas with amazing artworks. I am not going to explain each site, rather…
