Well, here we are, sitting on our comfy sofas for the last time in 9 weeks (watching a highlights of the Italy-Germany football match). Pretty exhausted after weeks of preparation for the trip, but excited about finally taking off on our big adventure tomorrow. The trailer is packed and sporting new upgraded wiring into the batteries (a DIY job so we are hoping we did it properly...)

Will we leave before 8am as planned? How long will it be before the kids start asking "are we there yet?". What time will we be there? Where exactly is "there"?

For tomorrow, "there" is Loxton, a small town on the Murray river just over the border in South Australia. The aim is to get there before dark so we can erect the camper trailer in the light. But we will see what happens.

It's almost time for us to turn into pumpkins so I will sign off now and write more in a day or two.

Hazel Western
Muppetsontour are Mark, Hazel, Anna and Luke. We are seizing the great Aussie opportunity of "long service leave" and travelling around the Western half of Australia for 9 weeks during July and August 2012. Anna (11) and Luke (turning 10 on the second day of the trip - won't that be a fun day in the car....) are looking forward to "wagging school" and Mark and Hazel can't wait to experience outback Australia, the Top End, Kimberley, Broome, the WA coast. Starting from Melbourne, we hitch up the camper trailer on June 30th for our big adventure. Very happy to have you guys tagging along!... full info
