Potential Darwin Trip

Another quick update, In the new year, April to be exact, i may have the opportunity to revisit Katherine. My parents are planning a road trip from Melbourne to Katherine and at this stage i am planning on traveling with them. Unfortunately due to timing and the impact some of these trips are having on the kids schooling, Sara and the girls wont be traveling with us.

What this means is that we will be traveling lighter than normal in that we will only have one car, a Holden Colorado and more than likely our Jayco Expanda. This will prove to be a very different experience to 2009 when we did this in the camper trailer. Mum and Dad did the last trip in their Toyota Kluger, sleeping in the back, so it should also be a more comfortable trip for them :)



Many of the planned stops will be familiar however we will be planning on doing some of the things we missed the first time around. We are also going to attempt some free stay stops to help reduce costs and experience something different.

More to come on this however as always, if you have any suggestions, especially for free stay camp spots, please leave a comment.

Upcoming Trip to look forward to

Hi All,

Well, Christmas is nearly upon us and this year we have planned a Christmas Getaway. We are planning to spend a week in Canberra. As a family we are actually looking forward to this as the kids have never really been to Canberra beyond a simple stop over on our way to Sydney.

We are planning on visiting many of the major sites including the War Memorial, The Parliment House, both new and old, as well as the Mint. As we only have 5 days there this should be easy to fill up. During our stay in Canberra we are staying at the Canberra Motor Village so feedback to follow.
