Prior to leaving

This trip has been about 12 years in the planning. We are both around 5 years overdue for our Long Service Leave. Initially I just wanted a 4x4 and tent (you know me), but Kim's minimum was a caravan (must be able to plug in her hair drier). 

We have bought the smallest van we could find, but are both very happy with this. See below right:

Part of the fun has been in the planning: buying the free camping guides, planning where to go, buying stuff!

We are now all packed and ready to go on Wed 19th am. On the first day we plan to drive from Warragul to Murray Bridge at least, then pretty much follow the coast all the way around to Brisbane, and then take a direct route home somewhere around 15th August.


Neither of us have ever take more than 3 weeks off work, so this is going to be a whole new experience. However, as I am a bit of a techno-geek, we are never far out of contact (I was known to get full 3G wireless in West Arnhem land, so I could check my emails - sad puppy).
