Monday, 29 June 2026 Today it is the final push home after 79 days on the road, our longest road trip to date. It has been a long time living out of the truck. Mind you the truck has been stuffed to the gills with A LOT of gear. We didn’t forget much, but we […]

Sunday, 28 June 2026 A day of two halves today. We slept in, before enjoying a leisurely breakfast. Then, because we were a day behind with our travel blog, we spent the rest of the morning catching up on processing photos and writing the travel diary. We eventually headed out at about 3.00pm to walk

Saturday, 27 June 2026 This morning we were relieved by the certainty of being able to go to bed last night on Australian Central Standard Time and waking up in the same time zone. It makes life so much easier than it is between Caiguna and Border Village! We will have one more time zone

Friday, 26 June 2026 The alarm went off at 6.00am this morning so that we could get on the road early. After breakfast, we re-packed the car to be on our way at ten to eight at what we thought was Australian Western Central Standard Time i.e. 45 minutes behind South Australia and 45 minutes
Thursday, 25 June 2026 We enjoyed the space in our HUGE two bedroom apartment overnight, but we were bemused by the very small vanity mirror in the bathroom, a single mirror tile! We didn’t have high expectations for this room secured at the last minute, but it was OK. Certainly not the worst room that
Wednesday, 24 June 2026 We set out just before 9.00am figuring that leaving any earlier would see us caught up in the worst of the peak hour traffic. Even so, the traffic was quite heavy. The SatNav was programmed to take us to Norseman. There seemed little difference between the three different routes suggested but

Tuesday, 23 June 2026 Since Broome we have travelled (mostly) southwards for 4,499 kilometres. We have now added a total of 16,186 kilometres to the truck’s odometer, since we set out on the 12th of April on our epic road trip. We have quite a few Ks still to go before we reach home, so
Monday, 22 June 2026 We were packed up and ready to head out of Port Denison by 9.30am. Possibly not as early as we might have planned, but we were underway on our final push south. We drove out on Kailis Drive and past the cement works before rejoining the Brand Highway. Around 30 Ks

Sunday, 21 June 2026 This morning, the Big 4 Holiday Park put on free pancakes for breakfast. We ate a healthy serve of fruit in our cabin, before we went over to the BBQ area to eat pancakes. The caravan park team had quite a system going to feed all their guests big, fluffy pancakes.
Saturday, 20 June 2026 We had a lazy start to today. With no alarm set, it was nearly 8.00am before we made any effort to get underway. After breakfast we walked down to Seaz Denison Seafood to buy prawns for dinner. While we are by the ocean, we are taking advantage of the opportunity to
