Two dogs bossing around two guys.
Avid readers, psychological science student, actor, writers (especially pantomime), proof readers, copy editors - these are the two guys, not the dogs!
I've rather random viewing habits; #CoronationStreet, #PrisonerCellBlockH, #MadAboutYou, #MurderSheWrote to name a few.

I've no idea what algorithms came together to 'Recommend' this for me...

small print-I have to admit that we actually watched this many years ago🤫

A Cassowary.
I felt slightly #jurassicpark when I was up close and personal with this big #bird.

Sitting at our campsite and a family (complete with screaming child) decide it's appropriate to come and sit next to us.
Why?

Traffic jams, open roads, bridges, and tunnels.

We're another 485km down with 2,505km to go out of a total of 4,196.

Due to a traffic accident (a lorry overturned) today's scheduled 5 hours and 3 minutes drive took nearly 10 hours!

Only 259km tomorrow...

452km down, 3,744 to go. 1st snag... The key snapped in the ignition. Luckily I was able to get the car started and get to an auto locksmith (the photo is the alley behind the workshop) so we can start today's drive.

Oh no! I've broken my key for the van!
I don't know where it happened, hopefully it's not in the ignition. I can't check while we're on the ferry until we dock tomorrow morning (12 hours away).

Our 4,196km journey starts tonight, with a ferry across the Bass Strait to Geelong.

We're off to help family with medical support.

The photo is from a few days ago, it's a dull and rainy day here today.
