Our plans


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!!!!!
