Anglesea Getaway Feb 2010

Well, we finally got away in the caravan.

What a trial that was. We decided on heading down to Anglesea again, and booked in the same area we stayed in last year in the camper trailer. Prior to heading down i booked the van into Jayco for some warranty work.

Lesson 1 - the turning circle of the caravan is larger than the camper trailer :) I took out our Mailbox and put a small hole into the rear of the caravan.

We went down on the Thursday afternoon and returned on the Sunday. Two full days at the beach did us all good, with the weather being great. The caravan performed flawlessly and our list of missing /needed items ended up being very small. We are ready for the next Big (bigger anyway) trip.

Our time at the beach was spent around the caravan, in the pool and in the surf. I took the girls for a walk down on the rocks a few times, and on Saturday we went for a drive up to the Anglesea powert station, a Coal fired station with the Coal mine on site. It was here that Bianca found the Echidna shown below.

Next Trip.... Coffs Harbor

Anglesea

It was a very hot weekend that saw us travel down to Anglesea for our second "Trial Run" of the camper trailer. Temperatures rose into the forties both in Anglesea and Melbourne, making setup of the camper tiresome. Staying at the Anglesea Beachfront Caravan Park we managed to cool down in the park swimming pool. In the evening, after some light rain, we took the kids down to the beach for a swim in the fading light.



Day 2 was much cooler and saw us spending most of the day at the beach, before a spot of fishing in the late afternoon. A power outage meant that Sara nearly went without tea as all the local shops closed their doors :) a last minute sausage sizzle saved the day.
