Hello everyone,
Hoping that you are all safe from the flooding and that none
of you have had any damage to your homes.
We are ok here – only had a little rain on the south side of
Brissy but friends on the north side have had lots of rain today.
Darryl and I are preparing for our BIG trip. We have
to get the van serviced this week and then we need to get new tyres for it as
one is terribly worn.
We have slowly been adding food and belongings to the van
and then we will leave on the 14th March with our dog Buster.
We will visit a lovely friend at Grafton for 2 nights, We
will then head to Port Macquarie to spend three nights with Uncle Max and Aunty
Kath.
From Port we will go to Taree for three nights with Darryl’s
family.
We will then head to Lithgow. Not sure if we will stop
along the way or travel all day to get there J
Depends on the weather and also the fatigue levels.
From Taree we hope to visit Darryl’s cousin Warren at
Bathurst and then head out to Condobolin to visit with Ian and Family.
We will also be doing a side trip to Wagga to see Mum, Lyn
and Jenny. Call into Wagga Wagga High to check on the preparations for
the 100 year celebrations.
Hope to see Aunty Nancy and family and Uncle Jack and family
whilst there.
We are planning on doing a trip to the ‘Corner country’ for
Easter with Ian, Wendy, Holly and Rosey – so are hoping that the weather
settles and the roads have a chance to dry out in the next month .
We will then make our way to Broken Hill by the 21st
April. From there we will be joining up with quite a few other Grey
Nomads and we will make our way across through the Flinders and then up through
to Alice Springs and Katherine and on to Darwin.
We also hope to head down the west coast and then across the
Nullarbor so that we can meet up with our campertrailer group friends at
Wellington in Late September and then down to Mallacoota in VIC in
mid-October. We have to be home in November for specialist appointments.
We will then restock the van and head to Wagga to celebrate
Mum’s 80th with the family.
Keep safe everyone.
Love Barb and Darryl

P.S. yes Buster is a cute doggie.... he is nearly 12 years old and supposedly a cross between a Cavalier King Charles (his mum - and I saw her and she was a cavalier) and a border collie.... Yep and he stands about 30cm tall!!!!!
Glad to see that Buster is accompanying you on your travels.
