Two paragraphs from the last blog of our 2019 trip come under the heading of “famous last words”
We’re home for the Summer now – the car and caravan are snuggled into their storage warehouse in Adelaide. It’s lovely to be back where your friends and family live, where you don’t deal daily with worries of fires sweeping the land, or seven year droughts and dying cattle and dust storms, or a climate change denying Government.
But like the man said “We’ll be back”. In April next year [2020], we will reunite with the car and caravan and go west, assuming Australia hasn’t incinerated entirely.
If the world situation were not so tragic you would laugh at our optimism – it turns out there was far worse to come; it is now April 2021 and we’re a year behind in our plans. First world problems.
This is where we have been on the caravanning adventure so far.
We will leave New Zealand in five days time (God willing).
Anticipating a bureaucratic nightmare on arrival as the car rego has expired; it is registered in NSW but in storage in South Australia. Each state has its own vehicle registration system and for some reason we suspect re-registering will not be straightforward. We live in hope.
The plan is to spend a bit more time in South Australia while the weather is still warm, then head west across the Nullarbour, and north to the Coral Coast.
Stand by.
You will love the Nullabor and the Coral Coast…. at least we did.
Here’s to smooth sailing well in your case roading.
Cheers
Trish & Mike
