You’ll never guess where we are this morning….
You’ll never guess where we are this morning…. WHat’s that you say? Cloncurry? ….well… err… yes. How did you guess? Dropped by the mechanics about 4:30 yesterday afternoon and at least this time Mark’s car was off the tow truck, but the problem was they had rolled it off the truck and that is where … Continue reading

We hadn’t gone more than 10 minutes down the road before we hit our first lot of roadworks. Probably wasted a good 45 minutes trying to navigate … Continue reading
Final Day in Arile Beach
Yesterday was our final day in Airlie Beach, and our final day on the coast. From here it is time to turn West and make our way in land. It is almost a shame really leaving the beautiful coast for the dry and dusty outback, but we want to be well off the coast before … Continue reading
