    The Container Arrives

    October 16, 2023 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    And so it begins...

    What started as a cunning plan 6 months ago is now becoming a reality with the arrival of our storage container this morning. We were successful in renting the house furnished, so there should be plenty of room for all our personal items.

    Only 5 weeks to go before we leave, so guess we better get packing...

  • Goodbye Wurtulla

    November 20, 2023 in Australia ⋅ 🌧 23 °C

    Well boys and girls, this is it.

    All our worldly possessions are either in storage or on our backs. Given the weight of my pack, I think I know where most of it ended up.

    The family home is cleaned out and ready for the new tenants when they arrive tomorrow. I guess this means we no longer have a home for the next year...

    Anyway, heading off to Brisbane now where we'll stay overnight to catch up with Brendan and friends one last time before flying out tomorrow night.

    I guess this is where it would be appropriate to say something inspirational like... how the longest journey begins with the first step. Mmmm... nah... too corny!

    Arrivederci Wurtulla, ci vediamo l'anno prossimo... forse...

  • Goodbye Australia

    November 21, 2023 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

    We'll, it's all getting real now. Bags are checked in, border security has let us leave and we're having a nice quiet drink in departure.

    Next post should (hopefully) be from Europe... Thanks to everyone for their kind words and warm goodbyes. See you next year... maybe... 😉Read more

  • Restructuring the Blog

    Nov 24–28, 2023 in Germany ⋅ 🌬 6 °C

    Rather than have one giant blog for the entire trip, I am breaking it up into smaller mini-trips.

    If you're following us, that shouldn't change anything as the new entries will come up as normal.

    Send me a messenger if you have any problems seeing new posts.

    Cheers
