A Trial Run

Before heading off on our big Australian Adventure we thought a trial run to test out the camper, equipment and our patience.

We had a sensational 10 days away in Mallacoota, fishing, exploring the beaches, discovering a 13m beached whale, putting around the lakes system in a boat, making new friends in the caravan park (I think Abbey knew everyone in the park), Abbey learning to ride her bike with no training wheels and most importantly working out what we need to take away, where it can be stored and how we can make such a big trip work.

There were moments of frustration, especially when we arrived at 9pm, and had to set up camp and then cook tea establishing our first and foremost priority for the trip NEVER to arrive after 6pm.

Now with 26 days til we leave, our focus is on packing the house up and sorting what we need, catching up with friends and family and watching Josh play cricket for a representative team.
