Hi
John & Val,
As you have suggested, taking extra memory cards is the option I think I will go for on this trip. Easiest and most economical!
The reason this is a short trip is because my friend, Annie, has a house-sitting/B&B sitting job in
Mount Warning for 6 months+ and she was planning to make the drive on her own from
Tom Price across The Nullarbor and up to
Mount Warning in a few days. However, when I offered to fly over to
Perth >
Tom Price (I am in Bowral, NSW) to accompany her on the journey, she was thrilled and suggested we make it a bit of an adventure by going through the middle of Oz, taking it easy over about 2-3 weeks. With a job to go to, she can't afford to dawdle too much!!!
The planned route at the moment is loosely something like this -
Tom Price >
Leonora >
Yulara > Ghan >
Coober Pedy >
Port Augusta >
Broken Hill > Moree (maybe also
Lightning Ridge) >
Mount Warning - but that could change, of course!
I am also looking forward to seeing a little of the beautiful
Kimberley's before we leave - I haven't been there since I was a teenager, travelling in a panel van with my (then) boyfriend in 1974!!!!! :)
It might be a shortish trek, but I'm sure it will be a wonderful adventure and a lot of fun for two old school friends who have just 're-connected' after 14 years of no contact since a school re-union in 1995 in
Albany, WA!!
Cheers,
Anne-Marie
