Update Since March...
March seems like a distant memory now and we are really on the final count down. Its been a marathon to prepare and D day is so close now! We have an off road camper trailer, it's a Wandering Star locally made in WA. We have fridges, recovery gear, 2 way radios, snorkals, suspensions lifts, extra spots, extra batteries, extra power points and an extraordinarily empty bank account! We're as prepared as anyone whose never travelled for this long could be!

| Decisions decisions...what to pack! |
 |
| The kitchen cupboard: everything I can fit and the kitchen sink! |
Everything but the kitchen sink..?
...er no, the kitchen sink is coming aswell! The very long receipt on the fridge is all that remains of a joyous 3 hours spent at the local supermarket stocking up on dry, tinned and long life products. All around Woolworths custonmers heard hushed whispers of 'No way am I drinking long life milk' followed by 'Ok get one then' and finally 'I'll just get six to be on the safe side'!! Yes Simon, don't forget the old adage ' happy wife = happy life' and this time it hinged on longlife milk!

| Our new mantra - we are not packing to the roof |

| Careful consideration of the most important details! |
Goodbye Sweet X Box
Today is day 3 of the school holidays and the boys are relishing lazy mornings and x-box induced stupors in the afternoons. Well they'd better make the most of it as it aint gonna last! 4am Saturday they will be saying a sad farewell to the x-box and in its place they will be making damper, playing cards, geocaching, listening to audio books and writing a travel journal! I can't wait to liberate my kids from the world of electronic media, but I don't know how enthusiastic they feel about the prospect!
Where to from here?
We travel to Newman on Saturday for a cold first night in the camper, temperatures are predicted to be 2 degrees C so the onesies will be out in force! Another long day of driving to follow before we reach Broome on Sunday evening. We will be in Broome for about four days before heading onwards into the Kimberly and beyond.
