Timeout! Click go the shears..

A pause in our our wiggly travel path.
Our original plan was to travel from Kalgoorlie on the Great Central Road through The Great Victorian and The Gibson Desert up to Uluṟu.
Short detour Required.
Regina’s Parents Reg and Pat need a visit and Zoe needed her Daddy to be at her 30th Birthday party. We made this decision while working in the Motel at Dynamite Bay, which with detours was about 4,100 kilometres away. It needed to be done so off we went. Because we intended to surprise Zoe, we had to go dark on our comms, so if you thought we had fallen into the Southern Ocean we’ll apologise for that. From Esperance in WA we sneaked our way through SA, briefly into Victoria, and then onto the rough roads of NSW.
The surprise for Zoe was successful and complete in Wagga Wagga. Regina parachuted into Griffith, Ian did a flying visit to a very wet Central Coast and returns to Griffith with the rain in tow, before we reunite with our Van in Wagga Wagga.
We are now a travelling trio. Ian’s mum Mary joined our circus and will be part of the troupe until Broken Hill. We all have our fingers crossed that the rain doesn’t follow us into the desert where we will free camp and see the sights.
Out of Griffith on Ellis Park station (near Bunyan) we stopped in to watch Regina’s brother Lance do a spot of shearing.Läs mer
