One week until trip

John and I are planning to leave home on 2nd July and head towards the Sunshine Coast first, with a stop in at the Gold Coast. We will pick the motor home up on 1st July and set off for Hawks Nest/ Tea Gardens for three nights on 2nd. John has done up an itinerary with us heading off to South Australia, but we are going to do the trip in reverse, heading towards warm weather first.
Sydney is in a rainy period this week, we hope it's nicer next week for the start of our winter trip. 
We are off to a Probus outing on Thursday, a train to Newcastle and lunch at Stockton, reached by a ferry.

Moved and settled.

June 12th

We have settled in our new place, We moved on the 16th May. John and I love our new home. The boxes are all unpacked and we are getting organised, slowly. We only have one neighbour and the bush is at our doorstep. John has been on a few bush walks already. Kay stayed one night and joined John on a bushwalk. John managed to bring back a couple of leeches and he seems to be collecting them as several more have found their way into his shoes. Bec also had a night here, Kath and the children have visited a couple of times.
There isn't any space to keep the motorhome in the yard, but we will leave it on the street the night before a trip so we can pack and then the night after a trip, before it is returned to Suncamper for storage.
The plan is to leave home around the first week of July and return in the middle to end of August. We hope to travel via Broken Hill to the Flinders Ranges then up the Red Centre to Darwin. We will return through Queensland and home.
