Uluru trip...12/06/14 - 05/09/14

Home after over 3 months and 17,750kms

After spending a couple of days in Melbourne and then catching the Spirit Of Tasmania to cross Bass Straight to Tassie, we are home!! . It has been a great trip but as usual always good to get home !!! We enjoyed catching up with Liz and Gary (Melbourne friends) at their place for dinner, and also Guy who spent a day driving us around many of the sights of Melbourne. A real travel guide !!! Wayne and Bonnie, our “shed” and house sitters have done a wonderful job of looking after our home and animals. As I write this, Mal is actually back on the mainland delivering our much loved and used caravan…. we have traded it in on a bigger one with more comfort which we fly over to pick up on about the 24th October. If the new van gives us as much pleasure as the old one, we are in for a few more years of fun !!!!

Molly was definitely very pleased to see us home

Not only did Wayne look after my garden and our animals soooo well, he even doubled the size of our chook pen. We are expecting baby chicks on the 27th of this month

Wayne even managed to cut down and clear at least another 20 to 30 gum trees..... we now have an even bigger view
