Now at Uluru (Ayers rock) arrived on monday afternoon and will have been here for three nights. We didn't tackle the climb up to the top of Ayers rock as we thought it would be a bit dangerous especially seeing Trent would have had to carry Lyla up there in the backpack and of course it can get quite windy, consequently this did not please Lachlan. Instead we took the easier option and walked the 10 km base walk, except we parked in the wrong car park and ended...

Currently At the Travellers Rest at Marla SA ( The Last town in SA before we cross into NT). Thought we should make a few miles since spending 3 days in Burra. Spent 1 night in Glendambo before reaching Coober Pedy The Opal Capital of the World. Spent a couple of nights there in the Stuart Range Caravan Park which was pretty well full both nights. Lachlan was desperate to go "Noodling" for opal in the many heaps of dirt and stones in the township, did n...

Just over a week to go before the journey begins. Recently spent 5 days at the Levi Caravan park testing out the new van and working out what we need to take ( and not take). Had quite cold weather for the 5 days so the heater and the annexe got a good test. Was hoping to get a bit done on the van and around home, however Lachlan was sick all week with tonsilitis so was not able to do a great deal until the end of our stay. Got to test out the bikes at Linear Par...
