I Lied

Ok, I lied.  We did not leave today.  We are staying for a few more days because we did not get the house done in time.  We will now leave next Wednesday.

Therefore I will not start daily updates until then.  For now I will fill you in on what has been happening.

We are not getting a new car after all.  The car we were going to get was not quite right for us.  So we will stick with our 4wd :)  In case you did not know our 4wd is called Rocky Road.

We are STILL packing!  The house is slowly getting better.  The removalist comes on Tuesday to get rid of all the boxes and few pieces of furniture we are keeping.  That will empty the house a bit more :)
That is about all for now.  Update you some more later :)

Happy Travelling :)

Three More Days To Go!!!!!!

Right!  Well - the first and most important thing I should tell you - is that we leave in three days!  We are madly packing and moving everything into the caravan.  We have to go to the city on Thursday so really only have had today and tomorrow to finish up!

Our eReaders arrived - well one of them.  They forgot to send the other one so we have to share for two weeks while we wait the other one to arrive.  I love the eReader.  It is so easy to use and even has sudoku on it!!  It is about the size of a normal novel and is very easy to read with.

Last week we went to Victoria to stay with a close friend of ours.    We had a campfire and played in the creek he has on his 40 acre property.  He has an EPIC climbing tree - but unfortunately it had been raining so we were unable to climb it because it was too slippery.  His place has a nice outdoor kitchen with a wood oven.  Beside that is a couch - conveniently placed beside the large fire pit :)
While we were there mum got us some new welly boots called Bogs.  They are quite sturdy and not as heavy as wellies normally are.  I practically live in them now :)

The caravan is really starting to look like home now :)  It has cutlery and cups, beds and clocks, school books and pencils - the works!!  We have lots of quirky figurines and knick-knacks blue-tacked to the window sill.

I helped Dad fix the water pump under the caravan today.  He also taught me how to chop wood with an axe!!  I did quite well if I do say so myself :)  I was very proud having a piece of wood, to put in the campfire we had tonight, that I cut myself :)

So!  I think that is just about it!!  As of Friday you will start getting daily reports!!  Stay tuned!!

Happy travelling :) :) :)

Catching Up

Goodness me!  We have been so busy I had completely forgotten about writing in this blog!!!!

Well, We have sold our house!!!!  2 and 1/2 weeks it was on the market and it has been sold to a family of 3 and they move in next month.

We have extended our stay a couple of weeks so that we have enough time to get completely packed and move our stuff down to my big Sister's place.  We are doing quite well with our packing. only a bit more to do :)  

My sister and I have bought ourselves some e-Readers :)  We have bought them from the other side of the world though and are anxiously awaiting their arrival :)

Some more exiting news - we are buying a new car!!!   I can not wait!  It is bigger than the one we have got and is a lot more comfortable.  It is a big red van - we have officially named it Cherry Ripe :)

We have also bought a new camera.  It is a nice camera and has an awesome zoom.  I have been practising my photography skills with it :)

Practising my photography skills :)

My dad is coming down to visit next weekend!  That will be lots of fun - I can not wait to see him :) :)

Everything is moving along quite quickly and we will be off around Australia in not time!!!

A beautiful sunset that I accidentally captured last night :)
