Meltdown!!

It's inevitable that we would have melt downs on our trip around Australia, considering we are glued to each other, day in and day out... Its hard and beautiful at the same time.

We want to keep this blog honest and open at all times, and are happy for comments below to encourage us along this journey. Or you can share experiences that might inspire us through the tough times too.

We’ve had a few melt downs on this trip...starting in Hay NSW when Dom got himself a speeding fine, Oops, 68km in a 50km zone... not happy! That cost us a days work picking onions in 47 deg heat. Yikes!!! OK time to be positive and put that behind us! That was Melt-down 1.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next BIG melt-down happened in Orange only 4 days ago now, when we were offered 
4-6 weeks work on a vineyard and on day 4 we were told there wasn’t anymore work due to the grapes being harvested by us sooner than expected!!! 

And on top of that it’s been raining here in Orange for the past few days!! And we have been locked up in our van watching videos for 3 days.... 

Now all that really suck’s as we had turned down another job for this one in Orange (we're not even going to bother giving this vinyard a plug) that  done us over!

So I cracked, we both cracked...just a little bit....ok i’ll be honest a lot!!! 

I just wanted to get away from Orange and be by the Ocean!!! 3 months without the Ocean is now my quota, especially in this HOT summer we have been having this year.

Yes there were tears, and yes I wanted to pack it all in...almost :)

The shot below is us watching "The Pursuit of Happyness" and our last night in Orange. It was cold and rainy! But we had some wine and a great selection of cheese and crackers... We were feeling better already!

We looked at each other and thought lets just get out of here, Batemans bay is only 5hrs drive...Wooooo Hooooo, and we left Orange just like that! (The plus to travelling on the road, is we can pack up any time and move on with no obligations.

On the way! It's as simple as that, make a decision to change the moment and let it all unfold...

And here we are on the beautiful south coast of NSW and as you can see from the series of photos that follow we are feeling and looking so much different from 24 hrs before....

Above Leonie has the whole world in her hands....

and then some asana...

more asana...

Dom loving life...ready for a big hug too ;)

Freedom at last!!! Below Leonie expressing how she feels right now on the beautiful South Coast of NSW!!!

And to really put things into perspective lets just turn our sleves up side down, heheheheh.

Pebbly Beach is below!!! We got aquainted with the forever beautiful Eastern Grey Kangaroo's and the bright colours of the friendly Rosella's and Lorketts. This clearly is heaven on earth...where humans and animals can co exist.

Below is Leonie drying her clothes after the rain, just hanging them out the car window :)

Our feet planted in Moruya about 30 mins drive south of Batemans Bay, we took the photo of our feet as a symbol of being here now and we really loved the place. We would be happy to set up home here! But we must push on around Australia and see how many of these places we find.

And for all you footy fans out there.

Dom vs Michael Weyman

'Run at me', Dom says. 

Commentator: Front on! What a tackle! Driving him back around the hips, but he's too big and Dom has to come in hard from the right side to take him down a couple of metres short of the tryline!

So we bounced back from that melt down, just one of the many lessons of this trip...we are sure there will be heaps more...
