Two More Sleeps!! by Camilla


Today is Friday, and the plan is that we leave Sunday afternoon. We aren't sure how far we'll get on the first day, but our aim is to get to Broken Hill on day three, and spend a few days there.
Greg and I have been pretty busy this week getting organised. Greg has been sorting out the mechanical side of things, while I've been deciding how many teaspoons, socks, CDs etc we can fit. Not enough, it seems!
Isaac, Darcy and Archie went to my parents' property for a few days and had a fabulous time. Mum and Dad are off to Tonga for a month to do some voluntary teaching work. Tonight Isaac is having a sleepover at his Uncle Ado and Aunty Shelly's house- lots of PS3 no doubt.
We've only been in our new house for three months, and it's hard to imagine living in a 'house' the size of our living room floor rug for the next three months. Our backyard will be huge though!
We are all really excited about going to places that none of us have been to before. After Greg calculated the distances, and considering we all don't particularly like being in the car for too long, we've decided to spend 4-5 weeks in both the NT and Queensland, with a few weeks getting there and home. That way, hopefully, we'll gain a better appreciation of the outback, coast and rainforests.
