19 days to go!!!


In 2006, David decided our family needed something to look forward to, SO .....


Here we are in 2011, about to embark on our biggest adventure ever - 14 weeks around Australia which will involve us driving through Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia, the Northern Territory and Western Australia!!! 


After a very hectic year in so many ways - not the least of which was moving house only one month ago - we are finally starting to get organised!  Marj and Barry's beautiful 18ft caravan is now parked outside awaiting packing.  With six people to provide for, this is going to be a tricky business.  Mum and Dad will sleep in the van, with the kids all in a tent together!!  Our 'new' Prado has had its final service and I am busy cleaning the house for our friends, Jemma, Thomas, Elsa, Clara, Johanna and Sophia, who will be living here in our absence.


We wish we could take everyone with us, but know that this will be such a special time for our little family, creating beautiful memories together. 


Stayed tuned for further countdown information!
