Out first stop was to get some famous meat pies at place called Fredos.
This meat pie bakery is famous for crocodile, kangaroo and camel pies. They have it all! Naturally we wanted to eat some camel but they were out so we settled for crocodile pie. It kinda taste like chicken...go figure.
Our next stop was a random beach that was too beautiful to ignore. The water was turquoise and the sand was white. We stopped there to make some breakfast and enjoy the random beaches of Australia!
This beach even had blow holes that were just weak enough for us to stand over and get blasted!
Upon leaving the beach our trailer suddenly broke in a very major way! We had noticed some squeaking but were to distracted by the gorgeous scenery to pay much attention! We were so lucky it broke in a parking lot by a beautiful beach and not the freeway.
Jamie quickly called the tow trunk company but with it being December 23 there was no way to get anything fixed. Thinking quickly, Jamie offered to sell the trailer to the tow truck guy for a deal he could not refuse! We then piled everything from the trailer into the main compartment of the camper van. Luckily everything fit and away we went!
We spent the rest of the day driving before hitting one more beach for sunset dinner! Another epic beach, another epic dinner and another epic sunset!!!
Christmas Eve was a driving day but we blasted carols and sang along until we were horse! Our goal was to log some serious miles and find a beach to have our Christmas Eve feast. We found our beach, we pumped up the Christmas tunes, we cranked out some delicious food and sat back to enjoy our life!
The next day was Christmas so naturally we had to find a spot to feast and open presents!.
Diva the (Jack Russel )was first to open here presents because Smee thinks that damn dog is a human!
Then we all exchanged presents before jumping back into the RV and heading straight to Melbourne!
On our way back into Melbourne we saw a rainbow and we knew that it was good omen for our new adventures in Melbourne!
