We drove through the rain the day we left Sydney, 3 months ago, until we got to Bateman's Bay. Since then all we've had was a small shower in Albany, the midnight storm in the Kimberley and a downpour in Carnarvon Gorge.
I lugged my knee high gumboots around the country and wore them once.
So it seems fitting that as we approach Sydney on our final day, it's raining.
I am looking forward to getting home, to seeing friends, off loading the kids to play with their friends, S going back to school (he can't wait!), having a roof over my head, being part of the neighborhood again, not having to sit in the car all day.
It's a bit sad that the adventure is coming to an end. I've had people say that we're doing the trip of a lifetime but I don't think of it like that at all. I think it's only the beginning. We've got the camper trailer and Evan won't sell the Prado so we can go again at a moments notice. I want to do The Red Centre one August and there's also the Queensland coast (because we ran out of time). Back to the Gold Coast to stay with Jo again.
The Gibb River Road would be fantastic with a few other families. And Kakadu and Arnhem Land, I'll have to find out when the cultural festivals are on.
Closer to home, there is Barrington Tops and Myall Lakes. After driving through central Queensland we want to take the kids to a country show or Rodeo, maybe Orange or Dubbo next year.
Let me know if you want to join is for our next adventure*
*Tyre shredding and fine weather guaranteed.
