It was a great feeling crossing the border and driving into Queensland for the last leg of our trip. There were still quite a few things on our list to see and do but we did struggle a bit with our route having been lucky enough to see a lot of the Queensland coast and several of the inland routes already. So, if you’re wondering why we took “the road less travelled” it was simply because we... Read Full Entry

The end of the epic adventure of a lifetime.
Hi, Richard, Hayley and Woody. Yet more wonderful photos, Indarri Falls, straight from a Tarzan movie. Ta Ta lizard, cool, very aboriginal as you said, bat in a bird's nest. It was good to hear what goes on at Mount Isa, that is definitely a familiar spot on the tv tracker when flying between Brisbane and Singapore, perhaps there is a radio beacon there for the aircraft? I thought Winnie looked lovely, poor little lady as you said her reluctance to move showed she was probably terrified of the electric storm. 'Micky' the first of our dogs was afraid of nothing apart from thunder. He would just freeze solid. I thought the frogs looked like they were in a (toilet), queue! Good that you caught up again with Woody's lady friend at Nindigully Pub, 'Foxy Roxie', going strong and happy with the same ball nine months on. I hope yopu see her again one day. With a view like Mount Maroon at Mt Flanagan first thing in the morning, you just know it is going to be a good day! I love a start like that, inspiring! The loop is now completed, it is a tremendous achievement for the three of you and the green machine. I have really enjoyed the photos and the blogs, they are so well written, I have actually been 'with you' for most of the journey through the very special unique, real Australia, (love the little bits of Britain too, usually lumps of old machinery). I knew it was there somewhere! seems so far away from the big Australian cities. I feel a little sad that it has all come to an end having looked forward to the next log throughout the 9 months in anticipation of the tales, adventures, sights, photos etc. Each worth waiting for, brilliant! Above all though it is good to see the three of you back home in one piece, having looked after eachother so well as I would expect. All good things come to an end and all our favourite stories have a happy ending, this has certainly got one! I suspect that as well as the wonderful memories to treasure the best is yet to come for the three of you! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us, a treasured privilege indeed. Lots of love, Roy and Linda xxx
