Departure delayed :-(



We‘re all ready to go and should have left today.  However, with the floods north, south and all around Brisbane, we’ve delayed our departure for a few days.  There’s no point in setting out until things have settled a little.  We’ll watch the news and make the decision when it seems sensible to do so.  However, we don’t want to leave it any longer than necessary.

It’s an exciting prospect to be taking a good look at Australia.  It’s a big country and although we have experience of driving for hours with no appreciable change to the scenery, we do anticipate that there will be changes, even if they occur slowly.  It seems likely that we’re going to see some of the devastation caused by high winds and floods on the way south, and very possibly some burned and blackened bush land as we work our way westward.  But that by necessity must remain on hold.  Hopefully for not too long.

    1. Thanks Carol. Will let you know when we get somewhere near Melbourne. After a few weeks in the rooftop tent, a proper bed is likely to be a real luxury.
