We are meeting up with Trish, Dick and kids from the Ulverstone 4WD Club and other people which I am sure we will know before the Easter Bunny bounces by. Although we had been at Mole Creek for sometime, we certainly saw plenty. [...]
A day out with our friends at the Ulverstone 4WD Club started early on Saturday morning. We left Mole Creek, travelling almost an hour and a half to Ridgley to meet with the club. From there we headed to the abandoned mining town of Luina for some fossicking and hopefully some 4WDing. Travelling down the [...]

Yesterday was just dragging out back at camp so with a spur of the moment decision was made to climb Cradle Mountain…again. This time I was on my own, which kind of suited me as firstly I wanted to see just how quick I could climb the mountain and secondly it would be good training [...]

Good news the afternoon got a lot better. We escaped camp and headed 5 minutes down the road to the Mole Creek Caravan Park for a more…relaxed…nights sleep. After dropping off the van (we had passed the Chudleigh Honey Farm so many times, promising ourselves and the kids an icecream) we finally headed to the [...]

G’day all, (Latest Video – Crossing the Leven River 4WD) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXKSvkVpLeA The real world has a hit a little with the return to school work for the girls. This has slowed us down a little as we get back into routine. Saying that 2 hours a day (during week days) is a small ask in [...]
