Beautiful Central Australia

Dear Reader

 

We decided to just do it via Qantas and a road trip and thought you might like to see a summary here. Password CA2015.  Hope life is good for you!

And we're here

Sydney calls ...

Dear Reader,

Cobar? Tibooburra? How about Sydney for our first post on this adventure?  Yes indeed!  Yesterday while doing our checks we found a faulty part in Jabi. We'll have to wait for the part to be flown in from our Bundaberg friends and then be fitted over the next week. Which makes things a bit tight for our pending U.S. adventure.

So what to do? We know!  Tomorrow we'll take the Flying Kangaroo to Uluru for a few days, hire a car and drive to Kings Canyon and Alice Springs and then have the Flying Kangaroo bring us home on Friday 7 August.

We'll pick up the rest of our planned adventure when Jabi is feeling fit and healthy.That's how it goes on a Jabi adventure!

Thanks for the many good wishes we continue to receive. It's all about the journey.

Uluru calls ...

Greetings dear reader, it's time to take to the skies again. This time to Uluru with a drop in to Flinders Ranges on the way home.  Journey to the centre with us....
