The Camper!!

This weekend we tried out our newly acquired camper. A 1982 Toyota Hiace Pop-top.

We were joined by Helen and Paul, and took a short trip up north.
Our first visit to Port Sorrel and the kids had a ball at the beach.
A scamper around Mersey bluff and then we made a hesitant retreat to find a campsite, due to the wind and threatening rain.
Day 2 saw us "grownups" tinkering in our mobile homes while the kids jumped their hearts out on the jumping pillow. Then a lovely trip through Latrobe: the Axeman's Hall of Fame, The Cherry Shed, Anver's chocolate factory and Ashgrove cheese tasting. It was a great little trip to get a bit of an idea of what we may need for our big roadtrip, which seems to be hastily appproaching.



I'm pretty sure everyone was as happy as these little faces show. :)
