It was very cold last night. William woke up at 6am and crawled up the ladder to us and declared he was ‘high in the sky!’. He was cold also so snuggled in with us for ½ hour. He was too restless so we were all up by 6.45am. As the sun was behind our tent and it was windy, it was very cold outside. We ate our brekkie in the tent and put William straight in the car where he was out of the wind while we packed up. We were driving out of the caravan park around...

William had us up nice and early this morning. It was pretty cold, but we had the sun behind the tent so at least we could sit in the sun to have our breakfast. We packed up and headed to ‘Steam town’, the local train museum. We got in a guided tour of the big shed and the roundhouse outside. William was overwhelmed by the trains at the start and wanted to be carried everywhere. Plus, they also had sound effects in some of the carriages and this must have sc...

We were all up with the sun this morning, getting ready to head off early to get to Broken Hill. During the night Steven & Tamara had to keep guard from the bogan family next door who thought it would be great to play with sparklers at 11pm. We all had our brekkie and were in the car at 8.30am. Steve took off first, next thing (I know, something else couldn’t possible go wrong, could it?) we hear a bang from the back of Steven’s car, followed by an even ...

Neil had set his alarm for 5am thinking he would pack up and come to the hospital at first light. However, with daylight savings this didn’t happen until 7am. William had woken up much better and was even asking for breakfast and water. He still had a temp, but looked much better in himself, although we were both dead tired. The doctor came around just as Neil arrived and we were to he most likely had a virus and we were right to go. So off we headed. We were...

After our first night on the road, we all had a bit of a sleep in (6.30!) and were up to have brekkie. We were all ready to leave Goondiwindi at 8.30am (Qld time). However, a quick push start of Steven’s car was required by Neil & Tamara while Kelley and William watched on. Laughing of course. Finally we were on our way heading to Moree. We had our first ever clean run through Moree and onto Narrabri. After a fuel stop in Narrabri we thought we’d head to...
