Here we are getting ready for the next adventure, and my blogs from last year have only got us as far as King Canyon. With Uluru and surrounds yet to come, as well as the journey home via the Great Central Road, Giles Weather Station, and places such as Sandstone and Yalgoo, it will be quite a while before these are finalised.

Hi Motherhen,

It must be a nice feeling to actually be in a position wher your blog writing is being overtaken by travelling. Hope you have a great trip this time.

Kind regards

Theo

Thanks Theo

If i get the time to pack, we should be able to leave in a day or three.

I am just a bit slow about doing them! Too much else gets in the way of a good time. I did the 2006 ones in 2007, then decided it was so much fun re-living the trip, that i did the 2005 ones. Maybe I'll finish 2008 in 2010?

Now there's a thought MH,

You keep that blog a year behind the travels and you've got a reason to live forever!

Enjoy your travels,

Geoff

Good point Geoff. With so much of Australia yet to tour, I'll need forever.

Hi Motherhen, I recognise that, I only finished writing up my July 2007 trip,9300 Km's a few weeks ago. Couple of the highlights of that trip were taking photos at Devils Marbles and Tinaroo Dam putting my cruiser in (almost same spot) as Dad had the Austin A70 ute in 1961 when we went around Aust. I am about half way through writing my 2008 trip to Cape York and back, probably wont finish it before I go on this years trip. I probably should keep a diary but I would forget to write it up each day.
Anyway you have a good trip I am going to the Wyndham races in Aug this year, may see you if you are up that way at that time.
Cheers
Rob Mac

Hi Rob

I write my diary up every night, and even make notes in the photo notebook during the day if it is a fact or figure likely to be overlooked.

Least year was the Kimberley (plus some of central NT). This year we'll head north of Alice Springs, then go where the road takes us.

Have a good trip
