Opening to the public for the first time today is one mans incredible collection of nearly four thousand model vehicles. No ordinary collection, it has been thoughtfully curated at tge Gippsland Vehicle Collection in Maffra. The collection itself was worth the entrance fee. How do you choose to show the collection in one Instagram photo, because truly its impossible to do it justice. This model is of Jack Murray's Silver ghost, used in the Redex trials. Ten thousand miles of searing heat, dirt roads, breakdowns and calamity around Australia. We're currently listening to Evan Green's book on Audible of how the next Redex might have happened if they'd run it another year. Set in the '50s its a gripping yarn. So we were tickled when Mr S noticed a replica of Jack Murrays car in the collection. #eidlewise #travelnzopenspaces #kiwigreyomads #freedomcamping #adventureprestige #author #evangreen #redex #carmuseum (at Gippsland Vehicle Collection Inc.) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpYN_yJF4ba/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1badxnr9i5qr2

Visit to the Gippsland Motor vehicle collection has been an absolute delight. We've booked our Melbourne Accommodation in preparation for sailing to Tassie so couldn't stay for Maffras Show. They're celebrating 130 years so it'll be a beauty. Rv's can stay at the museum. As you can see in the photo, its not just about the blokes, fashion of the era on display is shown too. The collection is changed every 3 or 4 months so full attention can be given to the vehicles on display. The museum is a real credit to the volunteers and the community. #eidlewise #travelnzopenspaces #kiwigreyomads #freedomcamping #adventureprestige #carmuseum (at Gippsland Vehicle Collection Inc.) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpYHzymFTjl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=izskmuh90ne6

Freedom camping just outside of Rosedale. Underneath the bridge, the original area was beautifully designed with arches. When the bridge was widened, they replicated the arches. Impressive for something unseen by the many travelers who cross the bridge. #eidlewise #travelnzopenspaces #kiwigreyomads #freedomcamping #adventureprestige #bridge (at Rosedale, Victoria) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpUODl-Fc_C/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xp1qyu6qo4au

Good misty Momday morning! From the banks of the Snow River. We've crossed the border into Victoria again and freedom camped in one of seven camps along the river. Our neighbor caught himself a healthy brown trout and lost two more. The river is flowing after the mouth opened yesterday. We presume that was from the big spill we saw at Jindabyne a few days ago. Also in camp are one big black snake, two frill lizards and I dont want to think any further! #eidlewise #travelnzopenspaces #kiwigreyomads #freedomcamping #adventureprestige (at Orbost, Victoria) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpNOYhDFvSA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vch66uf9zl4z

From south to north, west and finally we've arrived back to the east coast near The Pinnacles. We've nearly ticked over forty-four thousand kilometers in eighteen months. A sliw journey and we've just about loved every bit. But stick around because we arent done yet! #eidlewise #travelnzopenspaces #kiwigreyomads #freedomcamping #adventureprestige #pinnacles (at Pinnacles Lookout) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpGbhGxF_-K/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14fok22apmrlw

One way of increasing milk production! A visit to the Bega Cheese factory today. This dairy company is quite impressive. They've even diversified and bought KRAFT so the production of Vegemite remains in Australia. Our camp for tonight is at the Bega Showgrounds $10pn unpowered with CMCA Discount. #eidlewise #travelnzopenspaces #kiwigreyomads #freedomcamping #adventureprestige #cow #vegemite #cmca (at Bega, New South Wales) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpEI76bFd-r/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13aahs39zw74u
