Made it to Australia

Gosh!! Time just flys when you are having fun. We seem to have neglected the blog due to having to much fun with action packed days and not to many internet connections.

We have been in Australia 11 days and have been quite busy buying a van, getting it ready for the road, meeting folks and having fun.

We are just outside a small town called Manilla in New South Wales right now on our first camping expedition in our new van

staying at a “flight park” in hot muggy weather that is not flyable.
We sighted our first kangaroo this morning and have been running a/c in the van non stop. Quite a bit different from NZ.

We will be updating all the great adventures and stories that we had in January in NZ including all the great hang gliding and the incredible boat excursion on the Milford Sound.

So many of these adventures deserve there own picture galleries which means we have to have a good internet connection and get all the pictures organized which we can hopefully get to soon.

Wanted to get a quick update in as we had emails and calls from a certain concerned Canadian that we had maybe fallen in somewhere.

  1. Nothing will ever change, eh? I’ll always be Chewy and you’ll always be the Grand Fromage!
    Nice talking to you on FT. I guess I won’t get the stories in full until May when you return.
    Sounds like a great time, keep it up. Nice van by the way.
    Watch out for flying kangaroos. Hope you get some good flights.
    I can’t wait to see the Canadians beat the crap out of the Americans in ice hockey in Sochi.. Fair Dinkum mate. Have you had a schooner of New yet? Ask around if you don’t know what I mean.
    I see on the map that you are north and west of Sydney. Cool! You might ask about flying at Byron Bay, near the border of NSW and QSLD. Good coastal site with lots of hippies if I recall. You guys would fit right in!

  2. Aussie vehicles often have windscreen (read windshield) protective mesh screen. Not very esthetic but efficient.

    1. We have a vague plan to head to Lightning Ridge then Broken Hill then south to the Melbourne area and then wind our way back up the coast to Queensland most likely arriving in Queensland beginning of April. But things could change.
