Lucky travellers I can see you are very happy to be on the road again. It certainly is a good life,and heading north for the warmth is always a good idea . Enjoy and safe travelling.
Hi from NZ Hi guys, It all sounds wonderful. Good for you. Are you going to Streaky Bay near Ceduna. ( Sth Aust end of Nullabor plain) Its where Jane & I grew up. If you do look up my brother John Haycraft, 6 Speed Ave. We are in Takaka at present traveling in our camper. Gorgeous & we love this life too. Off to Bali soon for my birthday & Kaen & Dave coming too as well as Sandy & Graeme & Jan & Wayne. 23 of us including Jane & Neil from Darwin.Sandy & Graeme got the camper van bug too. Anyway, keep having fun & enjoy gorgeous Darwin. Go to a terrible movie!! We took Sandy & Graeme to a terrible NZ movie the other night & told them I'll be getting a reputation. Of course thats despite the fact that most of my choices are wonderful!!!
Streaky Bay Hi Liz and Mike
Lovely to hear from you! We are camped just before the SA/WA border town of Eucla so quite a few kms from Streaky Bay yet. We will try and call and say hi to your brother when passing though and hope we find him home.
So, there are 23 of you going to Bali. I bet you have a wonderful time if it is anything like some of those Lake Tarawera parties Pete and I have had the pleasure of attending ie. Fireworks on the lake and Sandie and Graham's sixties theme night. I would consider it an ideal place for Pete and I to put down roots but honestly would like somewhere a tad warmer in the winter as all this Aussie sunshine has made me soft!
Hope to catch up with Jane in Darwin as I am keen to commence line dancing again. Think I still have her email somewhere.
Have fun in Takaka. Glad to here that Sandie and Graham have the campervan bug too. (Far more comfortable than a motorbike!)
Darwin Hello Suzanne and Pete, See you are on the road to Darwin, leaving the lovely blue Indian Ocean and heading back to Darwin. Nice place to be in the Winter!!!!!
Keep the photos coming. and keep well. Don't work too hard up there at the Top End! Love Kyra
Top end. Hi Kyra,
Great to hear from you. Hope you are well. Yes, we are looking forward to settling for a while in Darwin once more. Not long now.
Hope you had a good time in Rotorua and you were able to catch up with Jacquie and Ernie although I am sure the place isn't the same anymore without Betty to call on.
Maybe when we are in Darwin we can connect via Skype so that we can chat occasionaly.
Regards
Suzanne

can't wait Can't wait to see this part of the world. Those tingle trees look fabulous. I've never heard of them. Regarding the weather, we've only had about 3-4 decent days since we have been home.
4 August, 2012 - Peter and Suzanne, being of the Baby Boomers generation, are now setting forth on the next travel phase of our lives. We met many years ago in Cape Town, South Africa, Suzanne from Oldham in England and Peter from Cambridge in New Zealand, on an overland expedition taking six months to get to London. A year later we then journeyed from London to Australia overland taking 10 months. We settled in Rotorua, New Zealand, had 3 great kids who are now doing their own thing and it is now, excitingly, time for us to recommence where we left off. We have, with much trepidation on my... full info
