We leave for our trip tomorrow and I’m itching to get going! I’ve said all my goodbyes and I have nothing but a great, big adventure ahead of me! What’s more exciting than that?

This morning at breakfast, mum gave each of the kids a folder which contained a map of Australia, demonstrating our route, and several home-made booklets, one for each state or territory, giving a detailed description of each place we will be visiting. After reading Queensland alone, I was bouncing off the walls with excitement!

We have been very busy today, trying to get everything finished. I have been doing washing all day, cleaning all the sheets, towels and the final lot of clothes. Sam is feeling a bit sick so he is lying down and we hope he will be feeling better tomorrow. It’s not enjoyable, traveling for hours in the car while sick.

I hope you guys enjoy my blog and I am glad to receive comments. If you want to email me, my email address is and I hope to hear all about what you are doing to!!

I also have Skype and my family’s account name is ozbranches.

I will post again tomorrow with a full account of the first day!!
