  • VISIT DOCKLANDS, MELBOURNE, BOATS, SAILING SHIPS & COW TREE

    Docklands, Melbourne Early Saturday morning solo drive of several hours for a 9am Portarlington ferry departure. Before dawn, avoided hopping kangaroo's on the empty Western Freeway in the vicinity of Beaufort. 160 km west of Melbourne. Over two hours of driving still to go to reach Portarlington. A small bayside town. To reach Portarlington meant driving through the large city of Geelong. Both are on Port Phillip Bay. Geelong to Portarlington is 30 km by road. On the Ferry Passage onboard Port Phillip Ferries across Port Phillip Bay to Docklands Melbourne. Melbourne city skyline skyscrapers clearly visible across the greater than forty km ferry route. Preferred the seating in the open air stern of the ferry. Experiencing the stiff sea breeze, sights and sounds of the bay. Eleven large freighter ships counted anchored in the bay. A ferry crew member explained ships have a one nautical mile separation awaiting a dock in port. Portarlington jetty to Docklands is seventy minutes by ferry. Docklands Waterfront The waterfront of Melbourne CBD offers a picturesque setting with a bustling café located conveniently next to the ferry dock. This café not only serves delicious food and drinks but also provides comfortable seating for those waiting to board or meet the ferry. Visitors can enjoy the serene views of the water and boats while relaxing in this inviting atmosphere. Adjacent to the ferry berth and main jetty stands a unique and intriguing piece of art known as "The cow in the tree." This art installation adds a touch of creativity and wonder to the surrounding area, sparking curiosity and conversation among passersby. During the visit to the waterfront, I had the opportunity to explore the Boat Show and learn about the Alma Doepel restoration project. I decided to support the cause by making a donation at the Alma Doepel dockside sausage sizzle and purchasing some merchandise items to contribute to the restoration efforts. Additionally, I was fortunate to receive a personal tour of the restoration site, gaining insights into the historical significance of the Alma Doepel and the meticulous work being done to preserve it for future generations. For those looking to embark on a scenic return journey, the morning ferry departs from either Geelong or Portarlington, offering a delightful way to experience the beauty of the Melbourne waterfront and its surroundings. The ferry return trip takes place in the early evening, providing a relaxing and enjoyable way to conclude a day of exploration and discovery along the waterfront of Melbourne CBD.

  • PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK CARS & CHARACTERS

    SHOW & SHINE PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK At the car show, the vast array of vehicles on display was truly impressive, with upwards of fifteen hundred cars spanning from vintage classics to the latest models. The inclusion of motorbikes added an extra dimension to the event, catering to a diverse audience of automotive enthusiasts. Aside from the vehicles themselves, the show offered a variety of food stalls and merchandise vendors, creating a bustling marketplace atmosphere. The presence of the iconic Mr Whippy Icecream van added a nostalgic touch, delighting attendees of all ages. For families, there was even a train available for kids' rides, although some found the enthusiastic train driver's frequent whistle-blowing a bit excessive. Tooting the very loud whistle. Nevertheless, it added to the overall charm of the event. Many visitors came prepared, bringing their own chairs to relax and soak in the outdoor picnic ambiance. The setting, with cars parked under the shade of trees on a warm day exceeding thirty degrees, created a perfect backdrop for socializing and admiring the vehicles. Engaging with the car owners provided fascinating insights into their passion and dedication. One proud owner sitting under shady trees shared the story of building his own oversized ute over a five-year period, showcasing a unique vehicle that stood out among the crowd. His parking strategy, limited to Bunning's carparks due to its size, highlighted the practical challenges of owning such a vehicle. Conversations also revolved around cutting-edge technology, with one driver enthusiastically discussing the high-performance electric Tesla on display. The silent yet powerful nature of the vehicle impressed many, challenging traditional notions of driving experience and performance. Despite differing preferences, all drivers at the show shared a common love for their cars, whether old or new, small or large. The camaraderie among enthusiasts was palpable, creating a sense of community and mutual appreciation for the diverse automotive landscape.

  • PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK DON'T DISAPPEAR

    Hanging Rock Famous or perhaps infamous in Australia as a place of intrigue and mystery. The backstory is of three schoolgirls and a teacher on an excursion to Hanging Rock and all seem to have disappeared into the rocky outcrop never to have been seen again. Despite many failed searchers for the missing people. Occurring on Valentines Day, 1900. Hanging Rock is about eighty km from Melbourne in the Victorian countryside. A large rock is wedged above the walkway to the summit and this is where the name originates. Hanging Rock rises to about one hundred metres above and behind the café and the adjacent information building. Open daily. Indoor and outdoor shaded dining is available. The reserve itself is in natural bushland and many area's are grassed and cleared for the public to have BBQs or an outdoor picnic. A racecourse is part of the reserve and horses race on the track twice per year. New Year's Day and Australia Day. INTRIGUE AND MYSTERY A famous novel was penned by Joan Lindsay on the girls disappearance and published in 1967. Peter Weir directed the 1975 film Picnic at Hanging Rock. The film tells the story of the missing girls. Their fate unknown. Miranda, Edith, Irma, Marion and their teacher Ms McCraw. Only Edith returns to raise the alarm. Hysterical and vague. It's said by a few the event was supernatural. While filming on the set location many of the crews watches stopped at the rock for no apparent reason. During the premiere of the film the cinema clock stopped on twelve o'clock to the second. Is the 1900 disappearance fiction or true? The truth is now somewhat lost to history. Also, two girls had gone missing at Hanging Rock about eighty years before in the early 1800s. The bushranger 'Mad Dog Morgan' (1830-1865) was thought by some to have used Hanging Rock as a hideout. In recent years a few rock and roll international artists have performed at Hanging Rock and attracted upwards of twenty thousand concert goers. Woodend is the nearest small town to Hanging Rock. The general area with its small towns, nearby forest and weekend markets are a popular tourist drawcard. PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK CAR SHOW The 37th Classic Hanging Rock Picnic, a highly anticipated event, took place on the 11th of February 2024, marking another successful year for Victoria's largest car show. This annual gathering has become a tradition for car enthusiasts and spectators alike, drawing crowds from near and far to marvel at the impressive display of vintage vehicles. Notably scheduled just four days before Valentine's Day, the picnic provided a unique opportunity for attendees to immerse themselves in a nostalgic atmosphere while celebrating their passion for classic cars. One of the highlights of the event was the prizes offered to vehicles aged 25 years and over, adding an exciting competitive element to the showcase. Owners proudly presented their meticulously maintained cars, hoping to secure a coveted award and earn recognition for their dedication to preserving automotive history. Moreover, the inclusive nature of the gathering allowed any vehicle to be displayed for public viewing, creating a diverse and vibrant exhibition that catered to a wide range of automotive interests. From vintage classics to modern marvels, the event showcased the evolution of automobile design and engineering over the years. Despite the large turnout and bustling atmosphere, organizers ensured a safe and enjoyable experience for all participants. Thankfully, as far as is known, there were no reports of anyone going missing during the event, unlike in the film, Picnic at Hanging Rock.

  • TOP OF THE RANGE MOUNT MACEDON

    Mount Macedon Tea Rooms & Lancefield A gathering of Mustang enthusiasts and a select group of Mustang GT owners convened on a delightful Sunday morning for an invigorating tour drive. Commencing at the BP Calder outbound service station in Melbourne, the day commenced with the roar of engines, resonating the palpable excitement in the atmosphere. The lineup of sleek Mustang GT cars stood poised, prepared to embark on the journey. Embarking on their route along the Calder Highway, the sun illuminated the path ahead, casting a radiant glow on the stylish exteriors of the Mustangs. The drive encompassed winding roads, providing an ideal opportunity for the driving aficionados to demonstrate the prowess and dexterity of their cherished vehicles. Upon completing the drive, the convoy arrived at the Top Of The Range Tea Rooms, situated atop Mount Macedon. Thick fog enveloped the top of the mountain. The idyllic backdrop offered a tranquil setting for the Mustangs to rest and rejuvenate. Participants took a moment to stretch, share anecdotes, and appreciate each other's cars. Reinvigorated, the group descended the mountain's back, maneuvering through challenging twists and turns that tested their driving abilities. Their journey led them to the quaint town of Lancefield, where they congregated for a well-deserved lunch at the Lost Watering Hole microbrewery. The rustic charm of the brewery provided an ideal ambiance for the Mustang enthusiasts to connect over their mutual passion for these iconic vehicles. The Tour The designated meeting place was Calder BP, strategically located adjacent to the Calder Park Raceway, Dragway, and Thunderdome oval track. This area holds a unique significance, as it was a hub for motorsport enthusiasts and racing aficionados. Calder Park Raceway, now known for its thrilling drag races has a rich history of hosting adrenaline-fueled events that attracted spectators from far and wide. The Thunderdome speedway, once a dominant force in the world of oval track racing, now stands as a monument to its glorious past. Its grandstands, though now quiet and empty, once reverberated with the roar of powerful engines and the cheers of passionate fans. The Thunderdome's legacy looms large over the landscape, a reminder of the excitement and drama that once unfolded on its hallowed grounds. Access to Calder Park and the Thunderdome is restricted on non-event days. The silence that now envelops these tracks is a stark contrast to the vibrant energy that filled the air during race days, a testament to the ebb and flow of activity in the world of motorsports. Calder Park Thunderdome The park was constructed in 1962. Bob Jane the king of the retail tyre franchise chain later taking over ownership. The Thunderdome is one mile of banked speedway. The first purpose built circuit outside of North America to host NASCAR events. Events were held from 1988 to 2001. Much of the 24,000 seating arena now in disrepair. Fond memories are often deeply rooted in our experiences, and one such memory that stands out is from the Thunderdome infield during a NASCAR event. The atmosphere in the infield is electric, filled with excitement and anticipation as the powerful engines rev up, creating a symphony of sounds that can be likened to giant bumble bees buzzing around you. The distinctive roar of the engines reverberates through the air, blending with the cheers of the crowd and the smell of burning rubber, creating a sensory overload that is both thrilling and unforgettable. Being in the midst of all this action, surrounded by fellow racing enthusiasts, adds to the sense of camaraderie and shared passion for the sport. The sight of sleek cars speeding by, the adrenaline rush as they navigate the turns, and the strategic pit stops all contribute to the immersive experience of being at the Thunderdome infield. Each race become a story unfolding right before your eyes, with its own twists and turns, victories and defeats. Now just memories. It's a moment frozen in time, a snapshot of pure exhilaration and joy that stays with you long after the race is over. These memories from the Thunderdome infield serve as a reminder of the passion and excitement that motorsports can bring into our lives, creating a lasting impression. Tour Start Leaving BP, once cars were underway soon overhead were road safety cameras along the Calder Highway before a left hand turn off the freeway and the scenic climb to Mount Macedon. V-eight engines purring like the rumoured Lancefield big cats underneath many a mustang bonnet. Fog, low cloud and engine rumblings enveloping the mountain and cars. Much of the Tea Rooms were obscured by fog. The Memorial Cross walkway unseen in the fog. One thousand and one metre's above sea level or 3,284 feet. All followed the lead mustang to a vacant car park past the busy Tea Rooms tourist area. Almost filling half the park with mustangs. Four manual six speed cars among the small group of eleven. Mustang drivers strolling about the parked mustangs. No time or room for a cup of tea or scones and cream among the many Tea Room tourists one hundred metres further back. Instead a brief stretch of the legs before settling in for a fun Sunday drive of mustangs down the mountain to the Lost Watering Hole. The morning drive breaking into warm sunshine and country roads. A few of the mustangs bolted for nearby Hanging Rock and were not seen again. At least for the remainder of the day.

  • FARINA 1878

    FARINA HISTORIC TOWN Farina, the abandoned town in Outback South Australia, holds a unique charm that beckons travelers to explore its history and remnants of a bygone era. Situated just a short detour off the bitumen road, this ghost town can be accessed by both 4WD and 2WD vehicles, making it a relatively accessible yet intriguing destination for adventurers. Located 55 kilometres south of Marree, Farina has remained uninhabited since 1967, leaving behind a hauntingly beautiful landscape of roofless buildings frozen in time. Despite its abandonment, Farina is not forgotten. The efforts of volunteers to maintain the remaining structures, complete with nameplates and clearly named street signs, ensure that the town's history is preserved for future generations. While no active building restorations take place, the dedication to preventing further deterioration is evident in the care taken to upkeep the site. One of the notable features of Farina is the presence of a large modern bakery, its exterior reminiscent of a grand homestead, which serves as a popular stop for travelers passing through. The juxtaposition of the bakery's modernity against the backdrop of the town's ruins adds a layer of intrigue to the overall experience. For those seeking a closer connection to the rugged beauty of the Outback, Farina offers a bush camping area away from the ruins. This secluded spot provides facilities for campers and has become a favored campsite for those looking to immerse themselves in the stark beauty of the desert landscape. Furthermore, the climate of Farina, classified as a hot desert, adds to the allure of this remote location. The arid conditions and vast expanse of the surrounding desert create a sense of isolation and timelessness, further enhancing the mystique of this abandoned town.

  • MARREE, LAST TOWNSHIP BEFORE THE BIRDSVILLE TRACK

    Marree Marree is the departure or endpoint for the Birdsville Track. It is also the starting point for the Oodnadatta Track. Flights over Lake Eyre and the region may be booked inside the booking office of the Marree Hotel. Lake Eyre is Australia's largest salt lake. The normally dry salt lake has been holding water in recent years. Accommodation in Marree was a few hundred metres from the Marree Hotel. The appearance of the multiple units were from the outside as of large windowless white cell blocks. None of the blocks had a window, not even the bathroom/shower. A phone alarm was set for a 6 am early rise to get on the road. However on waking, no power was available for lights or anything relying on electrical power. Dressing in complete darkness, with no windows and attempting a shower was a bit challenging. Power resumed after about twenty minutes, allowing for a more relaxed approach. Marree Outback Roadhouse The previous night Dinner was at the Marree Outback Roadhouse and General Store. Howard our tour operator highly recommended the Friday night dinner. Saying people come in from surrounding area's, in some cases driving quite long distances to eat at the Marree Outback Roadhouse on a Friday night for the roast. It did not disappoint. The hosts wheeled large meat platters out from the kitchen for all to indulge. A roast dinner choice of all you could eat and a selection from chicken, beef, lamb, turkey, and corned beef. Vegetables or salad. Followed by a dessert with fresh cream. Seconds were available to all. A great Outback meal enjoyed. Traveldriven OUTBACK TIDY TOWNS??

One could be mistaken as going to Bedrock as in the Fred Flintstone tv cartoon. Large and small granite rocks fill the landscape. Population hovering around one hundred and thirty. Natural rainfall is always scarce here and watered grass rarely seen. A statue of a camel and its Afghan handler is in the main street. Services are available for travellers. There is a small park dedicated to the expedition of Charles Sturt and includes a rowboat as was carried by Sturt's party in the hope that they would find an inland sea. Upturned to demonstrate futility and covered in copper sheeting, the boat is a must-see attraction. The town name is generally pronounced as Tib-oo-burra.

Covid-19 and Driving The movie "I Am Legend" featuring a Ford Mustang GT is a thrilling cinematic experience that captivates audiences with its high-speed action and intense storyline. The powerful performance of the Mustang GT in the movie adds an extra layer of excitement and adrenaline to the film, making it a memorable experience for car enthusiasts and moviegoers alike. Comparing driving in the COVID-19 world to the movie trailer raises interesting questions about the future of driving and transportation. While the trailer may depict a fast-paced and exhilarating driving experience, the reality of driving during a global pandemic is quite different. With social distancing measures in place and increased awareness of health and safety concerns, the way we drive and interact on the road has evolved to prioritize safety and well-being. Despite the differences between the movie trailer and real-world driving conditions, both scenarios share a sense of adventure and unpredictability. Just as the characters in "I Am Legend" navigate a post-apocalyptic world filled with challenges and obstacles, drivers in the COVID-19 era must adapt to new norms and regulations while still finding joy and excitement in the act of driving.

  • HORIZONTAL FALLS SAILING & HAT SNACK CRUISE KIMBERLEY ISLANDS

    DAY 19 Horizontal Falls Locals call them the (Horries) is as described by David Attenborough a great natural wonder of the world. Located on the coast of the Kimberley region in Western Australia. The falls form when seawater rushes through two short and narrow gorges which are about three hundred metres (1,000 ft) apart. The falls are located in the coastal Mclarty Ranges within Talbot Bay and within the Buccaneer Archipelago. The seaward gap is about twenty metres (70 ft) wide. The landward one is about ten metres wide (30 ft). The natural wonder is caused by the sea level change due to tides of up to ten metres (33 ft). Water builds up on one side or the other of the gaps faster than it can flow through. Creating a wall of water up to four metres (13 ft) high. With the change of the tide, the direction of the falls reverses from inflow to outflow and back again. Cruise Kimberley Islands Captain Steve, dropped anchor in Talbot Bay. Tendercraft took those who decided on a helicopter flight to the pontoon floating in the bay. Helicopter doors removed and flown by a barefoot pilot. Best for the heat or a water ditch I guess. Several passes over the falls and back along the ranges. Rising air thermals buffered the helicopter on banking. Just the secure seatbelt to hold you in place stopping a fall to the water far below. Headset commentary. A few seaplanes out of Broome doing sightseeing flights. These were landing and taking off from the bay. Allowing passenger's to go jet boating through the narrow gap. Myself and most of our ship mates did the jet boating as an excursion extra. Too dangerous for anything other than multi-engined jet boats to pass through the Horizontal Falls entrance. A high speed thrill similar to jet boating in river canyons. On steroids. Expect a wet ride. Our ship MV Oceanic safely anchored alone in Talbot Bay for the night surrounded by rugged mountain ranges. There is no land access to Horizontal Falls by road or track. Seaplane or ship only. There are calls for a complete ban on travel to Horizontal Falls by the traditional land owners for the reason given below and cultural obligations. Access through the narrowest gap by tourist jet boat are discontinued as of 2023. Talks are ongoing between Dambeemangarddee Aboriginal Corporation and the Western Australian state government. Traveldriven Tuesday, May 30, 2023 Media Release Charges were laid last Friday 26 May 2023, against the master and company that owns the high-speed vessel Falls Express, which collided with rocks at Horizontal Falls on 27 May 2022 while carrying 25 passengers and 2 crew on an eco-tour of Talbot Bay in Western Australia. Dozens of people onboard Falls Express were seriously injured as a result of the domestic commercial vessel’s operation at high-speed through the narrow 7.5m gap at Horizontal Falls. The response effort, by emergency services and other domestic commercial vessels operating in the area at the time, was rapid and commendable. The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) has meticulously investigated the incident, gathering, and analysing evidence over the past year. With support from the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions, charges have now been laid under the Marine Safety (Domestic Commercial Vessel) National Law Act 2012 (the “National Law”). The master, Edward James Whisson, has been charged with two safety-related offences— failing to take reasonable care, and not implementing and complying with the safety management system for the vessel and its operations. The owner, Journey Beyond Adventures Pty Ltd (trading as Horizontal Falls Seaplane Adventures), has been charged with two offences for failing to, so far as reasonably practicable, ensure the safety of the vessel, its equipment and the operation of the vessel; and failing to implement and maintain a safety management system that could ensure Falls Express, and its operations, were safe. As this matter will now proceed to the Magistrates Court of Western Australia, it would be inappropriate for AMSA to comment further.
