After a couple of pretty stressful weeks, it was time to get out of the house and go on a weekender and the West Coast was calling. After seeing a few posts on Facebook of some of the Hydro dams spilling we thought this would be a prime opportunity to go and check them out... Continue Reading →
Campbell Rivulet Falls. After working on vehicles for the past 3 days I was sick of it and needed a break so we decided to head in a south-easterly direction and see where the road took us. We had 3 options today and we couldn't make up our mind on which place to check out... Continue Reading →

Until Friday I hadn't even heard of this place and was planning a relatively quite weekend as Jacinta was working and I thought I better catch up on a few Jobs but late on Friday night I receive a text message asking whether I was keen to...
