We were awoken throughout the night to some nice heavy rain. Glad to say we didn’t have any leaks, but the roof was nice and full of water just above Kelley – lucky it held. We were up again at 7.30am and after brekkie we were on the road by 9am. We had to go via Whyalla today, to get new bearings for Steven’s car. It was only an extra couple hours all up out of the way, but was nice to see a town we wouldn’t have normally seen. From what we could see fro...

We were up with the sun again this morning, but it gets very confusing with daylight savings. The sun doesn’t go down until 8ish and isn’t up until 7ish. After brekkie we were ready to hit the road and were driving out by 8.30am. Our first stop was to be Cockburn where we had to get rid of all our fruit and vegies, except our carrots oddly enough. We drove through many small towns and had a very uneventful trip. We drove through Peterborough while William wa...

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...
