Hey there,
It sounds hard to say goodbye to your home for five months, but it is surprisingly easy. Only I know I’m really gonna miss it about three months in. Anyway I got up at 9:30 this morning mainly because I wanted to get an extra-long last sleep in my own warm bed. I ate my breakfast in peace, by myself mainly because everyone was buzzing around the house like it was just an ordinary day. Except that it was a Wednesday and everyone was home.(Which is not normal.) So we spent most of the morning cleaning up and doing last minute preparations. We got some photos of us in front of the caravan, all loaded up and ready to go. We finally got on the road at about 3:30. First we went to school to give the keys to our house sitters. We dropped some books off at the library and set off for Yass. I felt really excited that we were finally off even if we had delayed it for a few days. We didn’t stop until about 7:00 when we got to Cowra (think size of Cooma) to stop for dinner. We got straight back to driving. I entertained myself by singing the “Song that never ends” for half an hour straight. We stopped at Molong for the night, so this is where I’m writing from. We set up camp pretty quickly, but our heater doesn’t work in such cold temperatures, so we just ran the gas stove and that did the trick. We hope to drive for most of tomorrow and hopefully get to Queensland. I’m pretty sure we started out on the right foot here.
