The forecast says it will be -5 degrees in Canberra tonight. So our departure tomorrow may not be at daybreak……..

Day 1 destination is not fixed – somewhere beyond Wagga Wagga, but short of Hay. After that, its the journey rather than the destination. Our outline plan will take us via Mildura, Burra, the Oddnadatta Track, Alice Springs, the West and East McDonnell ranges, then, at the end, a few days in Shellharbour to catch up with some of our fellow travellers from the Alaska/Canada trip last year.

This might be a more intermittent blog than North America, but perhaps with the NBN rollout we’ll have connection Australia wide? (First Dad joke of the trip)
