only 6 more more sleeps to go, then we are off accross the nullabor to Queensland, Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne and Adelaide.

MY highlight on this trip will be a trip to Stockton beach, as its all virgin territory to me, if anyone is going there between the 1st and 4th of Jan, we wouldnt mind tagging along

Adapi. Have a great trip. I'll be in Newcastle about that time, and may get to Stockton for a day. However you certainly wont be lonely there at that time of year. Enjoy.

Look out for a Silver Pathfinder, towing a windsor rapid and white Patrol towing a Jayco Freedom, with a boat on top.

We leave on Saturday at 5am from Armadale, hoping to get to Balladonia that night.....have to be in Melbourne on 20th to get on ferry, to Tasmania...we will be in Tasmania till 13 Jan, taking the long way home along the Great Ocean Road....have to back for the kids to start school.....

We are traveling with three kids, so the Balladonia stop maybe way too long, depends on if they run out DVDs....

Good on ya. you'll have a blast.
Port Augusta is an hour up the road from me, we're leaving on the 19th going the other way, hope to be in perth for christmas with my niece & nephews, then head south along the coast and back through esperance. Virgin territory for me, never been west of ceduna. Kids wont know what hit them, they've never been in the car for more than 3 hours!!!!

We're at Smoky Bay in SA and heading back to Perth on Monday - just had 9 fantastic months travelling the same route - got as far as Karumba and across to King Ash Bay near Borroloola in NT. Will have covered over 35Ks by time we arrive home!

We might pass you on the Nullabore - we're a white and blue Compass caravan towed by a white GU Patrol with white Quintrex 3.85m Explorer on the roof - can't miss us.

You'll have a ball - see wonderful country and meet heaps of fabulous people.
