man, you guys are soooo going to enjoy your trip................
@bigcol , we have been planning it for so long it is hard to believe we are finally going to do it, 9 weeks to go!
just remember to have as much fun on the trip, as you did when planning the trip (?)
And keep a diary.....and get the kids to do the same. Great memories to be built.
And it's even better if you've got the chance to earn it...in both time and $$$.
Keep digging, bluey!
Spend the lead up time planning....its at least half the fun.
(Which reminds me, I must replace some of our maps as, for some reason, they've been written on ....some good memories but difficult to read in places)

Our first big trip has been in the planning stages for quite some time...leaving 18 July from Perth and will be back a week or so before Christmas. With a 3.5yr and 1.5 year old, shouldn't be a dull moment. The bottom of WA is just going to be stop overs and to see family (as we head down there annually). Looking to spend most the time across the top and through the middle.
Hi @benmat . Your trip is a lot like ours, except we leave on July 2nd and will be doing the gibb, and leaving off Melbourne as we did that 2 Christmases ago. Just unsure of our return journey. Have planned up until Brisbane and then stopped, so I guess we will play it by ear then.
It will be a great trip.
Just counting down the days now. Might bump in to you at some point @Smirke . We are looking to play it by ear most of the way and have most of it roughly planned for places...not time though. We have booked Broome, Kununurra and Lake Argyle only. We will be in the Cairns area around school holidays and family are going to fly in to visit so will book there as well. I did a mail merge of the email addresses of the places we are going and emailed them all to gauge busyness roughly when we would be in the area. There are a few that we will check on when on the road to see how they are fairing.
Agree @Bluey, have to leave something for my next lot of long service.
