Hi all, we did a trip last year from SA to WA then had to cut it short due to our son in law passing suddenly. We have been planning another trip and planned to leave couple weeks ago, when my Brother Eddy Holland, a
well known truck driver who drove all over Australia but mainly SA to NT, died, it has shaken us to the core and just want to leave for our trip, so we are now nearly ready and will be off on Monday heading to Queensland, good therapy, for a broken heart. Hope to meet some members along the way.

Sorry to hear about your loss.
I know how it can effect you, turns your world upside down, and you start hesitate wether you should go or not,or just stay
home, but I believe you need to do this and I hope that you will find the trip just the therapy you need right now.
Safe travels and best wishes.
