Hello again! Howdy folks,
Another great adventure! You must have friends EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!
I admire your ability to keep your spirits high in the face of adversity.
You didn't by chance keep one of those gold bars for little me?
Keep having fun, Yours Ian.
Wow trudy, what adventures?. Did you go back and yell at the petrol station and demand they fix it?? Was there an Earthquake..? Didn't even hear about it! That piece of gold could have slipped very nicely into a pocket! Love the blog and enjoying hearing about your journey. See you again soon hopefully.
Travel On. Hi Gang, have just had a read of your progress. It is amazing how God answers Prayers. Who are we to doubt his word when he says, "Call on me and I will answer." Just a little faith can move mountains.
We are enjoying the week taking care of the grand children, like old times. Life is one long taxi service with teenagers.
Hope all is going well now for you, it will be lovely traveling North up the west coast from now on as the wild flowers will soon be out. How did you get on about the camp forms? Let me know if you need us to help.
Your story will be told in our Sabbath School to morrow as Des has the welcome and prayer.
Cheers for now Love Sharon and Des
A long overdue update! Hello all, Just a quick note to let you know I have a new mobile phone ... and somehow deleted my contact list when I installed my SIM card! But number is the same as old phone. We have a new email account now (minibugs is now defunct!). So I will send you an email with my new email address (unless you can read the details here from your computer?!).
Sounds like you are having the adventure of a lifetime ; ) Lily is still missing you, but she is also having a pussycat version of 'adventure of a lifetime' with Riley and Woody. They play non-stop! And I hate to say it ... but Lily is putting on weight and looking VERY cuddly now!
Big cuddles for the kids from all of us (well, just me really!!) and tell Shay-Lee that Abbie may be rideable (without being led!) by the time she returns home.

Good on yer Am wrapped you're having such a great time and meeting alot of good people along the way. It will be great for the kids later in life to able to retell what they have seen, encountered and experienced.
Your trip is giving my a great hunger to do the same.
Enjoy and stay safe.
delighted Trudy, following your record with delight. Thanks for taking the time to share this with us. This has to be the experience of a lifetime, and I am drooling!
stamina I love your news, Trudy and family. The pics are great. And I found myself gripping the edge with the mice story, and then with the mechanical failure!!! And you are sticking to it!! - mind you, what else would you do? Well done. And what an adventure. Thanks for sharing it. Imagine the stories. Regards - Tim
ps - did you know that I am now, and officially, a grandfather! I haven't communicated with you for a while. But, yes, it is true - Ezra Jethro Carvill, born to Anita and Bren, about 2 months ago. Mind you - I think you picked it up on facebook!
WOW wow Truds, you guys look like your having such a great trip!!! I love the blog and pics, miss the babies and you but are so happy for you all in that you are having such a great adventure, take care and have loads more fun,
love the Macks xx
Good on yer Hey Trudi and family.
Glad to hear you are having such a great time. I'm envious and reckon you've done the right thing.
Keep gathering the knowledge along the way and more importantly enjoy the time you have with
your kids whilst you can. They grow up too quick. Take care. Paul
Still Here! Hello all! Still enjoying the story of your travels.
Such a shame about the Coorong situation.
Enjoy the Pandas in Adelaide. I know some people who've seen them.
Fishy! Hello Trudy and all,
Enjoyed your next installment. I remember seeing a doco on Eden and the whaling and thinking it would be a great place
to visit. Well, there YOU are! That fishing phenomenon you described is also something I'd heard about but never from
someone who ACTUALLY experienced it. It sounded so amazing. Can't wait to hear what happens next. Keep having fun!
Yours, Ian.
Hello Again! Enjoyed this latest installment. I didn't know there was a big potato (turd) or big merino. You are educating me.
Great to see all your pics too. Thanks Trudi and Crew.
See Ya, Ian.
someone has to do it! hallo Trudy and 3. Sounds like hard word - having all that fun - at least on the sunny days. What did you do during the rainy days? Just came back from a pastors camp -good. Though came back to a blocked water tank! Anita is still in one piece - just! Glad you are in Canberra before winter. See you next time.
have a ball... Have just read what you have been up to and that you have only recently left Shellharbour. I will keep reading your entries and follow your travels - have fun!
Happy Birthday Kal Wow guys, looks amazing you last few weeks... Wish I could be with you guys!! I am envious! To my beautiful Trudy - I hope that exam went well - I didn't read about if it was :-) Happy Birthday Little Man - I cannot believe that you are already six. I can remember cuddling you (in the sack!) at Conferences with The Body Shop Days! Now your SIX!!! It certainly looked like you had a ball!!! As for all of you - 11am school finished!! ARE YOU KIDDING! I really wish I was there! School days finishing at 11... Travel safe!! Dry out - Lol! I love reading your travelling! Luv Luv Melody xxx
Lilly is missing you all! Especially when she saw the photos of you guys at Kal's 6th birthday party at Jamberoo! I gave her an extra cuddle and told her you'd be back in a matter of months! No need to say 'hope you're having a great time' as it's obvious : ) Can't wait for the Canberra pics!
Wonderful Hi Trudy
OMG your journey so far sounds fantastic! Continue to enjoy the rest of your road trip, safe driving.
The photos on display so far are BRILLIANT! Keep up the good work
Love Heather xxx
For as long as I can remember, the idea of traveling around Australia in a caravan has appealed to me. I think the inspiration must stem from meeting a family in Port Macquarie as a young teen, who just lived and traveled in their caravan I was enthralled. How does it work, how do they school, where do they stay I wondered. Apparently they just fished their way from place to place. It must have been a great big prolonged adventure! Incidentally that family eventually settled in my home town and we are still very good friends.
The notion of traveling this great land of ours has not left ... full info
