The medical stuff I had to sort out before we could head off accross Australia is all ironed out and done. Yay! So that means our time, is once again our own. We are free to leave whenever we want to leave. We have decided to spend two weeks on the Central coast before we leave, so we will be leaving on Monday 20th of June 2011.
I am so so excited! We are heading accross to Dubbo first, were going to take our little boy Zac to the Western Plains Zoo, once we get there and will probrably spend two nights there. We will most likely spend one night in the free camp, the first night we arrive in Dubbo. This way we can just either tow our van and park with it at the zoo or we can book into the caravan park the next morning, then go to the zoo without the van. This will save us a little money! I love free camps they make me feel so thrifty.
We managed to get alot done yesterday. We bought so much of the stuff we need for the ute and to add to Brents tool kit for the trip. We bought Jerry cans and the holders to attach them to our ute or van (havnt figured that out yet). We bought a bunch of oil, coolant, transmission fluid etc. We are hoping that we can type up a reasonable price list and do a bit of work for people along the way, just simple jobs like caravan bearings, car services etc.
We have alot to do today. We are going to get spare oil and fuel filters for the car,too and a spare fan belt (just incase!) Were also going to attach those jerry can holders, try and attach our air compressor, fill up our gas bottle (we have two but we will fill the second one right before we go because its still got a little in it). Try and find a bike rack for the rear of the van and much more. I cant believe how much you have to do to prepare for a trip like this (if you're as "anal" as I am and want absolutely every base covered).
