Where to next?

It is amazing how quickly life has returned to normal since our amazing adventure in 2014.  It has been wonderful to reconnect with friends and contribute again to our great little community.  Our lives have become full of the cycle or work, school, sport, cubs, and trying to implement some of the ideas we learnt in 2014 on our patch of dirt.  

And as happy as we are to be home, our big lap last year has left a mark on our souls.  

Could it be that we still have itchy feet?  There are still so many parts of this country that we want to explore in greater depth?  Or could it be that it is just so cold here in winter!

Either way, the other night we pulled the maps out from under Rocky's seat, and started dreaming again.

Whilst I would love to say we have the time to do it all again, sadly our next adventure will be constrained to just a few weeks.  This limits our range considerably, but it does allow us enough time to explore a few places we missed last time and revisit a couple of old favourites.  

The best part is that the boy's will be doing the lions share of the planning.  We basically have two and a half weeks to get from Mackay back home, and they have been given the role of tour planners.  

The hardest part is getting hold of them - as I think they love being at home too.

But when I do finally get hold of them, you can be assured that they will be planning our couple of weeks road trip.  

In the mean time, I can get back to the little jobs back at home... like towing the mighty Mitsubishi Mirage back to the shed to be fixed again...

or collecting some more firewood...

or making new friends

or keeping an eye on old ones...


Ahhh - it is good to be home.
