    And we're off! In true Deb and Ben style, we left Canberra in a frenzy, pulling out of the driveway at 3.02pm literally as the first Airbnb guests were due to arrive. Having completed 976 of the tasks on the to-do list, there were still some things left undone- but the time had come to go and they would have to wait for now.

    First stop Temora, to see Deb's folks.
    We arrived in the early evening in the dark and the rain, perfect conditions for our first real setup. Lucky we had some helpful and friendly hosts with a level backyard to help us out.
    This was our first night of everyone sleeping in the van, and the kids were excited to be in their bunks beds.

    We stayed here a few days to gather ourselves, get some help installing the diesel heater and becoming more acquainted with our set up while still having access to creature comforts. Deb also had her first days of working on the road, fortunately making use of a home office setup in Mardie and Pa's house.

    Had a chance to see the new house mum and dad are building, nice to see progress happening.

    We left Saturday lunch-ish, with a few false starts. We also had a tunnel boot door fly off on the highway due to some dodgy hinges breaking, only becoming aware when a ute pulled alongside us to let us know. Lucky they told us, and lucky no one was invited and nothing was damaged!

    After a drive of a few hours, we arrived at our freecamp for the night.
