The situation with the West Australia border and the conditions being imposed on travellers has just left us bewildered and disappointed. Combined with the damage we sustained in the hail storm and concerns we have over the construction of our new home it just felt right to start heading back.
We hope to catch up with Amanda & Leon on the road somewhere before returning.

We're on our way home
We're going homeRead more
