We have a PLAN!



The last fortnight has been very exciting! We've decided to hit the road in 09 and travel around Australia. WOW! What an adventure:)

The time is right....feel a real sense of God-given peace, there are no kids as yet and a number of other factors have also contributed to the decision.
Here's a few:
  • J was sick earlier in the year and that time raised a few of life's BIG questions. Pointed him in a different direction in many ways.
  • We had an awesome touring holiday in Tasmania and Victoria. Life on the road treated us so well that we thought we'd like to do it again...for longer. Highlights included cruising on the Great Ocean Road; chasing wombats; climbing mountains; eating cheese and sitting in front of log fires.
  • It's in K's genes. Mum and Dad did a 6 year working holiday around Oz in the 70s and I was on the road with them for most of that time.
  • We visited 'Leisurefest' and were introduced to the Carry Me Camper (Google it!) which is our accommodation of choice for next year. Sleeping in a tent for a year. Hmmmmm.
So the plan began to formulate. 
So far we have:
  • Told our bosses we won't be around next year
  • Put a snorkel and lift kit on the Navara
  • Set up Skype
  • Starting piling up stuff for our November Garage Sale...please come
  • Sold J's motorbike and the Lancer
  • Ordered our camper
The wheels are in motion.

We're very excited to have you join us on this adventure....keep reading our blog for future adventure updates.

Hey Guys... this is sooooo exciting... but I am soooo jealous!
But thats because you are reviving memories of taking the whole fam in the 4WD and camper to the Cape, western Qld and criss-crossed Tasmania... so I guess I have some idea of how good its going to be!!! I can't wait for more long service leave!!!
