Left Lagoons Beach early and made Bicheno the first stop, water was needed and groceries from IGA. Had a look at the blowhole but the sea was calm and had only small blows. Lovely area around the blowhole with rocks similar to the Bay of Fires with their red tones. All up a short trip of no more than 70kms. H...

We left Rivers & Rocks and drove to St Helens and I have to say the trip between Bicheno and St Helens on the Tasman Highway has the most beautiful beach scenery.

We have done the Christmas trek - 9 hours north and 9 hours back again and then we were invaded by the family who all love being together 'at our h...

Gday... A few of the great places I have been lucky enough to visit during 2012. Hopefully 2013 will provide even more opportunities. Cheers - John

Can you refill the containers unleaded and diesel with fuel again? and what to do about generators. Maybe easier to buy new containers...
