Melbourne – Yes Home!

We can’t believe 4 months has passed and we are now finally home. After a 700km drive from Murray Bridge we arrived home safely this afternoon. The red fire truck (Prado) has got us around trouble free (with only some minor hiccups to the car) and I am so glad we had the diff repaired before the last leg of our trip.

On the ‘Woody’s Great Aussie Trek’ we stayed at 34 different locations and covered approximately 20,000km up to Darwin, across to Broome, down to Perth and across the Nullarbor.

Without a doubt it was a trip of a lifetime and one we will never forget. Sure it was not without a few challenges along the way, not forgetting 3 children in a small space for so long. The memories and life experiences certainly out way any problems we had. If anyone is dreaming about such a trip, make sure you do it as life is too short. We have a fantastic country and if you have not seen much of it, you would be missing so much. See it while you can!

Well this is my final blog entry before I get it compiled into a small book. Thanks to everyone for your support with reading the blog, signing up as followers and adding comments. I hope you enjoyed reading it just as much as I have enjoyed sharing our experiences with you.
A special thanks to the following:

- Nan & Pa for looking after our house and paying our bills
- Anthony for collecting our mail and mowing our front lawn
- Gavin for loaning us your house whilst in Perth
- And to all those people we met along the way and helping us to make our trip an enjoyable one (the list is long - you know who you are)

We are sorry Nan & Pop could not make it to Perth and so glad to hear Pop is recovering after his fall from the ladder.

Live your dream!

Time to unpack - only part of the mess from our caravan

And a bit more spread through the house - how did we get
it all in the caravan? You should see the garage!
