By Lou: Had a week in Melbourne catching up with family and friends. It was all work for Craig as he made more repairs, modifications and improvements to the trailer. Sam had a trip to the zoo with Grandma which he loved and I swanned around getting spoilt by having all my meals made for us by my beautiful mum.
By Craig: The stop over in Melbourne was simply an RM (routine maintenance) for me during the day. Night time was catching up with friends and telling stories over a few red wines about our adventures around Tasmania. Maintenance included installing a new tap to the sink so that when we are in caravan parks we can just connect to mains pressure and more importantly was installing additional tail and blinker lights on the trailer for higher visibility. My other activity was sitting on the phone sourcing an HF radio and doing some trip planning.
By Sam: I went to Melbourne Zoo with Grandma and we saw lots and lots and lots of animals like lions and seals. My favourite was the elephants and the orangutans. I saw the new baby elephant that is on all worldwide TV. There was a movie about the orangutans' habitat being destroyed, and how they don’t label how they’re knocking down the habitat to make the product and so they ask you to call a number and you say "we want people to label that they actually do knock down the habitat" so people will stop buying it if they know it and their products will get lower and lower until the company goes to zero dollars. It was a very long long long drive home and I fell asleep.
2010 is the year that Craig, Lou and Sam Newsome chose to explore their big back yard. Tune in for our travel tidbits.
