The planning is underway for the long trip north, leaving a cold wet Gembrook behind and looking for some warmer climes.
Solar panels have been fitted to the trusty caravan (18.5 foot Royal Flair), suspension upgraded, and most importantly, the bike rack fitted.
The plan is to head north along the Kidman and Matilda Way, via Griffith, Cobar, Bourke, Charleville, Longreach, Winton, Mt. Isa, Normanton and then across to Townsville and return via the coastal route. It sounds a bloody long way, it is a bloody long way but who cares.
The beauty is not having a locked down return date, no real plan of how long we stay in one place, the expectation of being able to do much free camping as possible and meeting all the fun people along the way. Expected departure is the 13th August, all going well.
The van is just about packed though I was a little worried if the bikes were going to fit due to the gas bottles but all is good.
We really can't wait until we are on the road and looking at the weather for Melbourne over the next week it can't be soon enough.
