Hi Linda and all the family members, Yes, we did make it. No comment on the drive back to the UK though, except that there was a very enthusiastic person in the Hillman Club who wanted us to turn around and drive back to the UK from here. That, he said, really would be a first. Final blog now in print. See you when I get back. xx

Hi Annie, thanks for your wonderful support over the months preceeding the finish. Sadly, we didn't see the family in Sydney, but I hope they have enjoyed the adventure along with us. Look forward to seeing you once back in UK. Fond regards, Barry

Fuel pumps
Hi Simon, read my final blog - it says a lot for the work you put into the car, thank you, but we really still have an issue with the fuel pumps. We are carrying two spare back with us and the two fitted are sourced from India and working well! I still cannot understand why we should have to turn one tap off if using the other tank when we our two switches inside the car were supposed to allow us to just switch tanks when one had run out of fuel. John thinks one pump sucks it back into the other tank. I don't but we gotta sort it out when we return to the UK. Otherwise, a great feeling of achievement to have reached here. Barry

Hello John, thanks for the kind words. I can't believe it is here either but it is and the pictures are now published to prove that we really have crossed the bridge and drawn up close to the Opera House as we said we would. Barry

Many Congratulations!
I saw your car outside the Asda store in Andover and made a small donation to your cause. It hardly seems possible that that same car is now halfway round the world, and got there under it's own steam. Well done to you both! P.S. Where's the pictures?

Hi
This is Roger, friend of Dianne and Bryan. I hear you are arriving at Hornsby on sunday the 18th. I would like to be there but cannot make it. I wondered if we could meet you while you were in Sydney before you go back. Best regards, Roger

I never doubted for one moment you wouldn't do it you were so well prepared and determined. I have loved every moment of the blogs and photos it is going to be very sad not to have them to read. Well I hope my Son Michael and wife Christine can come to wave you in as they have lived in Sydney for the past 20 years and he works for Quantas. Well again many many Congraulations on this epic journey to you both. All my very best Annie

Nearly there!
Well guys, you are not doing much blogging but obviously for a civilised country Aus is not good with communications. You guys have done really well to achieve what you have achieved, you are on the last leg and it will all be over before you know it. Then what are you going to do? Bit of anti-climax! So why not drive it back to the UK???? Now that really would be an achievement! You seen any of the famous nasty creepy crawlies whilst camping? Met any interesting indigenous people? Tried to throw a boomerang or blow a didgeridoo? Get blogging, this is the last bit and we need to know it all, there will be no reading material for us after the grand entrance into Sydney...have a they arranged a firework display on the bridge for you????? Drive safely and give that little car a pat and polish, it really has done incredibly well and needs a little reward. E x

Hi Sandra, Hope all well with you and I am sure you are looking forward to returning to a 'warm' Oz again. Just a belated thank you for the loan of the suitcase and for your efforts in bringing some of our stuff back to the UK. I look back on the time with you both with great fondness as I thought that Perth was a lovely place to be. Take care and maybe our paths will cross again some day. Barry
