Just 23 days to go and have one room that looks like a train wreck and many, many lists, got the new tires yesterday and suspension tweak next week, other than service and packing that is the car ready.
Itinerary just about as final as we are going to get, went and bought out the local camping store, Jack has road tested everything that might have a danger component - axes, saws, cookers and checked the torche can blind his sister. Have homework for one child and the other is keeping a low profile hoping his teacher just forgets.
Have a friend Anne travelling with us from Darwin to Alice Springs - she swears she can manage being in a 3 x 3 m space or cabin of the car for that long with all of us, is there that much red wine in Australia? My dad and his partner Julie are joining us in their own vehicle for pretty much the same leg.
People's reaction is either one of jealousy or consider us mad. My sister threatens her children with a 3 month round australia driving trip everytime they look sideways - says she has had perfect behaviour since she threatened this. Only time will tell what the outcome will be.
