A Wicked Proposal

We picked up our Flintstones van in Melbourne and headed south along the Great Ocean Rd. We quickly discovered that having a Wicked Camper is a bit like being a celebrity as people (Particularly the Japanese) would stop, stare and take photos of us and the van. We spent a wonderful first night camping by a beach with no-one else apart from Andy, me, the stars and a stack of VB! Could life possibly get anymore wonderful? Yes it could!

The second night we had reached the 12 apostles and had decided to watch the sunset at this magnificent spectacle. We took a picnic basket + bottle of finest Australian sparkling wine and set up camp with a glorious sunset beginning. After stuffing ourselves full of oysters and prawns we began to feel like a couple of chubby campers who'd escaped from fat camp! It was at this point that Andy got down on one knee and asked if I would like to be the future Mrs Linham. I could not picture a more perfect setting for us to get engaged (I did say yes by the way). After much embracing and kissing, and very little sunset watching, we headed back to our Wicked vans to spend our first night as the future Mr and Mrs Linham. The rest of the trip has been a bit of a blur, but who cares as we are so happy and are already planning the honeymoon.. Maybe a Wicked Camper Tour in NZ!
