G'Day Mate

A cold Friday morning in the Aussie's we jumped in the spaceship van & set the navigators (Emma & Betty) towards a town called Etchuca and our friends Aaron & Hendrika witch we met in the jungle in Lao :) :) U just got to love how u meet people here. Anyway, Etchuca we found quite easy and after about 3 hours driving we found ourselves in the middle of the city. Yeahy :) After some guiding we found Aaron's house. :)

The house looked amazing with a huge backyard where we could play with Koby (Their dog), have a Aussie style BBQ and a place where u could sit down and enjoy life & the beautiful sunset.The sunset view they have is like a picture. It's beautiful and probably add value to the property :) They also have this little billabong in their backyard witch makes it perfect.

The billabong is also a place for Koby to cool down after playing nonstop for 12 hours with the ball. Amazing ball enthusiast :). Aaron & Hendrika are a friendly & nice couple that enjoy living in the beautiful city Etchuca. Aaron owns a 2 hectare property where they grow some fruits such as bananas, apples, herbs, and some others that we can't remember. Sorry guy's :) hehe The property is perfectly located just 10 min from the city center and far out enough so that u have the green surroundings around u.
Etchuca is a small town with it's 14 000 inhabitants, but a nice one it is. Spes since we had two locals to hang with that could show us around and tell us everything that we needed to know about the town :). And also took us places where we would have had to pay 100 euro p.p to see.

Like the river cruising in Aaron's dad's boat, out to the outback looking for kangaroos and an Aussie style BBQ. :) They all where awesome & for us priceless since we probably wouldn't have experienced that. So cheers guys :) The river cruise was nice, since the sun was shining. Hendrika had packed a pick nick bag with food & beer that we could enjoy while sighseeing :) How cool is that........ Amazing day on the river in Australia. :) Thanks again guy's for showing us the real Aussie.

Etchuca is known for their paddle steamers and the Port of Echuca. But also for tourism. Those two is a mayor attraction along with the weather,the friendly people and the atmosphere the town give u. :) If u are headed to Australia u have to visit Etchuca. :) Was that good enough marketing for Etchuca Aaron ????? We did so much in Etchuca and one of the best where the Aussie style BBQ. We had Australian Dampa as a starter, Australian Sausages and baked potatoes with cream fresh & cheese on as a main course and ice cream & some apple thing that was soo good..... And all the food was made on the fire in the backyard watching the sunset. :) :) Hope one day that we could do the same for u guys in Norway or Finland course u are more then welcome to visit us.... :)

From Etchuca our journey went towards the great ocean road. The road's are fine and sometimes u feel like u re the only one driving on the roads. Just u and the outback :) Witch is nice but a bit boring and spec if the road are 10 km straight on without a curve at all. I mean at all, just strait forward as long as u can see. :( Fucking boring I say..... But anyway, we desided to spend one night in a place close to the beach and not far away from the great ocean road. The place we found was awesome, on the beach with amazing view and landscape. The place was called something like Johannas beach camping and had a endless beach with huge ass waves.

We have left about 1600 km behind us as u might be able to see on the map to the right and now we find our self down in south east Australia. In a small tourist town called Port Campbell. Here we might stay for the night since the weather isn't that great, but anyway have to run. So thanx for now and I am sorry that the post where a bit long. Take care guys. Cheers

Btw. Today it's my and Jenny' birthday :) Cheers Jenny, happy b'day to u.. We are getting old aren't we..... The girls made me breakfast and I got some presents this morning. Thanx guys, u are the best. :)
