Hullo everyone,
Winter is close at hand in Canberra. The temperature is dropping steadily. The nights are frosty and the days bright and sunny. Already, the snow is starting to fall on the mountains. It is time to head north. Our departure date is May 20 and our first stop will be Holbrook in southern New South Wales.
This year, we intend to travel north through the centre of Australia. This means that we must first travel south to the Murray River. We will then travel west and north along the river to Mildura in Victoria. From there, we will go through Burra to Port Augusta in South Australia and from there head north to Darwin. Of course, we will be making a few side trips along the way. After spending 3 weeks in Darwin, we will head south again until we reach Three Ways Road House where we will turn left and drive through Western Queensland, stopping at places such as Barkly Downs, and Mount Isa. Once we reach Emerald we turn south and begin the long trek home with a little side trip to Mudgee in New South Wales.
So, stay tuned.
