We've been staying in the Manta van at the Capital Country Holiday Park at Sutton on the northern outskirts of Canberra for the last couple of weeks, having a good taste of caravan living. It's been a bit of an adjustment - we are in a MUCH smaller space than we used to be, but even with Jayne going to work each day, its quite cosy and very manageable.
I have been leading more of a life of leisure, slipping easily into relaxing by the pool or messing around on my guitar, with the occasional frantic burst of housework. It's amazing how quickly you can clean and tidy a 16 foot caravan when you really put your mind to it.
Today was mostly about packing for the weekend - getting those last minute things ready. We took some stuff out to our storage lockup in Yass - some of Jaynie's work stuff and some things that we had thought we might need on our travels, but on reflection, are just extra stuff that we don't really need or want to cart around the countryside.
Dastardly Rabbit has been busy of late too - he came out to Yass to check on things. If you looked at our Cape York trip blog several years ago, you may remember Dastardly . . . he's our mischievous furry travelling companion.

Our next post should be a real one - the start of the trip proper. Jayne has one more day of work and we plan to head north early Saturday morning. 👍👍👍
