Back in the van

We are on the road again!!!!

We have spent the past week, since arriving back from our month in Bali (Part 1 of our trip), catching up and saying goodbye to family and friends, and packing and organising the van to go away.

It’s been a busy time, finishing packing boxes that were left unfinished before Bali, and packing the caravan. We’ve also had the van serviced, bought new tyres and bought lots of warm clothes to cope with the cold nights in central Australia.

Yesterday we were finally ready to begin part 2 of our trip – and our second lap of Australia!! After spending all morning doing last minute packing, we travelled north nearly 500km to spend our first night with friends in Elliott Heads.

This time will be a little different to the last…

Our last Aussie lap we had 6 months. We travelled north up the East coast as far as Cairns, then across outback Qld into the NT. We did the north of NT, including Katherine, Kakadu, Litchfield NP and Darwin. We travelled in Western Australia for 3 1/2 months – the Kimberley, Pilbara and the entire coastline south from there. We did the southern coast from WA across the Nullarbor and a few weeks into SA, before it was time to head home.

This time we have 4 months. We are going to head across Central Qld into the NT. We will explore the centre before heading south to SA. After exploring SA we plan to follow the Victorian coastline into NSW until the end of November. We need to be home then to drop off the van to start part 3 of our trip – South Africa and Canada.

So happy to be back on the road and in the van.

Can’t wait for the adventures that lie ahead!!!
