Day 2 - bound for Wagga Wagga

We said farewell to Grandma and Grandad and headed towards Wagga Wagga.

First stop was Murrumbateman for morning tea, and time for Lewis to cover his face with chocolate (it's a gift that he can get so dirty from one biscuit!).

Next stop was Gundegai where we had some lunch and the obligatory photo with the dog on the tuckerbox.

Final stop for the day was Wagga Wagga which as many of you would know is the place of many crows. We went for a stroll along the Murrumbidgee River in search of platypus, we didn't find any but we did find Wagga beach and some great sculptures.

Peacocks for Miss Bianca

A trip to the information centre set us off with a heap of activities to do (time would be our enemy!).

We ended up going to the Botanic Gardens and had a visit to the Wagga zoo, (within the gardens, free entry, aviaries, native animals, a great little offering from a lovely little town).

Kids had a ball and had a chance to run off the been in a car crazies. We headed back to our accomodation and had a delicious dinner, and managed a wine or two for $4 thanks to Happy Hour!
A great day all round, we will be very happy if things continue like this!
We saw horses, cows, sheep and goats in our travels today and travelled another 300 ish km

Safe travels today, arriving in Canberra to stay a night with family, kids were happy to see Grandma and Grandad and to play with cousins.
We are all pretty excited!

On the road!

First sunset of our journey

Off we go

See ya later everyone

Are we ready?
I guess we will know soon enough, pretty much packed, just need to load the car.
And this is what 3pairs of shoes per person looks like

Not 100% sure where they will all fit!
Work is finished one more sleep to go

Two more sleeps

One more day at work!
And I think I've worked out how to add pictures!
Now I'm getting excited😄

Big road trip -post 2, getting geared up!

Not that we really need an excuse to go shopping but today we ventured into the city for a family funday. Let's just pop into Kathmandu he says!!!! We all came out with new pants although I'm not convinced about mine! Lewis scored shorts as well and I picked up a hat too! That cost a little bit $$$$$ but at least the kids gear is going to last for ages.
It's starting to get very exciting 😃😃😃😃😃
We also planned on visiting the NT tourism kiosk at Darling Harbour, the one I can still clearly see in my mind which clearly is no longer there!

It appears that I need to up skill myself pretty quick smart!
My plan of being all over this blog thing before we leave has not yet happened!
We head off next Wednesday, I still have to activate the comments and fix up loading photos. Looks like Easter will be busy tech wise.
Things continue to get exciting, kids are super keen althoughLewis announced today that he thinks he may get bored in the car! Too late now buddy!!
Packing is on track.
Accomodation is sorted up to and including Gold Coast.
Brett is super relaxed as he is now on holidays and the rest of us have one more day to go.

Getting started

Here we go getting ready to head off on our biggest road trip yet! With three weeks until we leave we are still finalising details and making plans but it is starting to get exciting. We are hoping to document our travels via this blog to keep family and friends up to date to our whereabouts and adventures.
As I become more competent I will be able to add photos and share more 'on the blog' but for now I have started and that is a good place to be...for now.
