So we finally begin!
Nick and I left mum and dad’s place last night and crashed at Doug and Kirsten’s place – got up nice and early to head off. It’s been a pretty uneventful day, apart from the following:
- I have knitted 1/3 of my scarf. Considering we may reach Melbourne tomorrow, I really need to put more effort in here, people
- We chanced upon the World’s Largest Virtual Solar System Drive…. as evidenced by the photos of Uranus below.
- I almost died in an effort to retrieve my bag from under the bed while in a very contorted position. Yes, died of laughter, that is… claustrophobia, anyone?
- We realised we lacked chocolate and snacks early on in the journey – not good
- I discovered how FREAKING FAST my new wireless internet is… I’m never going back, I tell’s ye!
So, nothing much to report. Shall check in again when more excitement presents itself.
We are going through Parkes tomorrow, so I really want to see the observatory!

And so the adventure begins Jess. I can wait to see all the updates
That’s one long journey to start with…did you have a reason to race down to Melbourne, or have you just seen everything in between ? Do you have a limited time to see the country ?
Megg – we had to get to Melbourne to get some work done on our car… then once it’s fixed we can mosey around the countryside!!
