Happy Birthday to ...





The Battered Fish!

That's right, the Battered Fish has turned 400,000km.

After such a milestone it was only right to celebrate. Fortunately, we had caught up with our good friends, the Vanderkellen's, who joined in the celebrations.

After last nights celebrations, The Battered Fish is resting up today with his friends Bear & Rabbit - who seemed to have enjoyed themselves a bit too much.

In a week and as a present, we have arranged a day spa for the Battered Fish at one of Melbourne's finest mechanics where the Batttered Fish will receive a full service.

The photos are of the Battered Fish's odometer, the celebrations and the morning after.

Congratulations to the "Battered Fish" on such longevity; not that it is particularly unusual with these tough-as-nails vehicles.
My granddaughter asked why it's called "Battered Fish" when it still looks in such fine, undamaged condition and it spends most of it's time on dry land.

The ... most point of mainland Australia

We made it to the most Eastern, Northern, Western and Southern points of mainland Australia. The hardest point to get to was the Southern most point, a 40km hike through Wilsons Promontory National Park in Victoria!
