We can't quite believe it. The time has finally come and we are frantically packing with only 4 sleeps to go. Glen and I are getting very excited, after having had some fantastic rain, it has made everything seem so much more enjoyable. But, what to pack, winter for the first couple of days then "bring on the sun", a bit hard to think sunscreen and insect repellent at present but that will be a reality in 2 short weeks.
So when we started planning this trip about 10 years ago our initial thoughts were to take a camper trailer, but with the addition of each child and after each trip to the Dowerin Field Day, our ideas have gradually gone from a camper trailer with a boat and motorbike, to a pop top, to a 3/4 pop top and then eventually to the triple bunk, toilet/shower and 2 Tv option, 24 ft "Big Bertha" that we now find ourselves proud owners of. We do love the luxury of not having to build our home at every stop, however, the downside is, "She .....UGE", but, hey, we're in no hurry, which is just as well!!!!
So , we head off on Wednesday, first stop Lake Nallan, 20km north of Cue for a night of free camping. With a max of only 16 forecast we hope to get away relatively early as we are looking at 470km, which is a long haul with "Big Bertha" on the back. We plan to arrive with enough time to collect some wood and build a fire before frost bites kicks in.
