TravelerHi great to see you guys are now off on the travels. Very envious. Hope I'm mastering the blog ok- thought I'd use the home email as work seems to block these sites. Looking forward to following your adventures.
TravelerHi Neal. Yes we're on our way. It was good to have all of January to really organise everything. We also had a couple weeks in Sussex Inlet over the New Year which was really nice and it gave us a good opportunity to really work the van out - which is great by the way. The south coast is just beautiful. We will be free camping as much as possible. Wiki Camps is an awesome app. I'm on it all the time! Hope all is going well with you. It was great to hear from you.
