I know I'm a sporadic blogger but this is ridiculous ...

I know I'm not a very regular blogger these days, but I just popped in to say that I'm going to be even more sporadic / not at all in the next month or two.

We are going on an extended driving trip.  Husband has taken 5 weeks long service leave and is keen to hit the road.
So..... at the moment the plan is to drive to Tasmania.  Yes, I know - long way from our little ponderosa in south east Queensland.

However as the current weather forecast is pretty miserable, and I'm not a particularly good sea traveller at the best of times, we may be changing this as we go.  The ferry is the only booking we have made, the rest will be spontaneous. As there currently seems to be a cold front including rain/snow/sleet it probably isn't the best time to head south.

So I'm not really sure where we will end up, as we are able to change the ferry booking if it all looks like it will be too much.  Our bags are packed and we are heading off tomorrow regardless!

We will be back approximately mid-September and I hope to catch up with everyone then.

cheers for now
Wendy

Thanks Maria, I love travelling but I have to admit I'm not really a good traveller. I do like it once we're there though! Hope to have fun anyway.

Oh I am a little jealous!! We love Tassie and I have done the drive from Qld to Ballarat and would love to do it again one day so Kaleb can see a bit more of Australia! Have fun!!

Thanks Shara! Husband more keen on driving than me, but he is in serious need of a break as his work has been pretty horrible for him lately. So I'm happy to go along with it - however I'm thinking of flying down to meet him - my bad. I'm keen on the Tassie part though! cheers Wendy

We found Strachsn to be lovely. Loved the whole east coast. Freycinet Bay, Bay of Fires, St Helens, all lovely. Some of the best wines along the way too! Enjoy!
