My contribution would be a determination to RELAX, SLOW DOWN AND ENJOY THE WHOLE TRIP. You don't have to fight the traffic like at
home, you don't have to keep up with the truckies (they are still working but you are on holidays, so let the poor devils pass you) you don't have to go the maximum distance every day, you don't even have to be first out of the
camp site every morning.
Hard to do after all the hassles of geting on the road, but becomes infectious very quickly if you work at it.
And have a great trip!
Max

Hi Greg,
You dont mention how old your kids are--when we did similar some years ago I made sure the kids had a walkman each & later trips a gamebot.These days ipod,gameboy or dvd player I guess & your trip will be so much easier. Also depending on their age our kids took a folder as a diary where they wrote each day.To this we addedbrochures etc we picked up--shells,rocks,pebbles etc etc which was not only educational but was gr8 news when they got back & we still often refer to it.If u haven't an offroader take a tent so u can maybe take off for a few days to the
places u may not be ableto go.Make sure u go o as many
places as u can even if some people u talk to say dont go--we found its all very personal & what u like may be different--what u see in one u might miss in another.Try to make time to mix with the locals--will make your trip so much more value.
if u have any questins u would like to ask feel free gavyssatoptusnetdotcomdotau
