And we're off . . . .

Saturday has been and gone . . . and we're gone too !

We got underway reasonably on Saturday morning after Jayne finished work for the year on Friday afternoon.

The timing was pretty good - Sutton was fogbound and the night was "extra-blanket" chilly.

We haven't really got all that far, but we figure we've got plenty of time.

We are initially heading to Brisbane, to see Joshie for the second week of the Queensland school holidays. We have been keeping a bit of an eye on the news to see what's going on in the aftermath of cyclone Debbie and what roads may be affected. We are staying well clear of the flooded coastal areas.

The weather for us has been beaut so far - but we are only at Canowindra in mid-western NSW.
A walk around town reveals plenty of photo ops
Lots of our Southern Tablelands 4WD Club friends know this place well because of the hot-air ballooning activities that go on here.

We stayed for a couple of nights in a brilliant little council operated caravan park on the edge of town.

Its small, well maintained & cheap as chips. Being from Canberra, we're not really used to HOT showers cause of the building code stuff, but the ones here are TOTALLY AWESOME ! Hot, good pressure and plentiful.

The demise of fossil fuels ? There are still 3 servos in town

Love these old signs. In a laneway off the main street.


















As well as this blog, Mickey has a longstanding account on the photo sharing site flickr.com. 

We will make sure that we upload photos to his flickr account as we travel round the countryside, hopefully in named albums as part of the "Our Big Trip" collection.

Over the next few posts on here, we will also try to sort out Instagram etc to give you a link or two.
