Well we got one last look at the ocean after all. Little brother of the Birthday Boy was unwell, so the Zoo excursion had to be postponed. Nevertheless a movie and then birthday cake at home, seemed to please Master Four. We are now fully packed and ready to go! Early start tomorrow.

D-day minus 2! Had a long, last look at the ocean this morning....until we get to Darwin that is! (And what a beautiful morning it is). Packing is almost done....just doing those last minute things....oh and going to the Zoo tomorrow for a small person's 4th birthday! The outback is calling!

We are busy, busy, busy....sorting.....what to take.....what to leave behind; packing, cooking and making lists! Have to 'tick off' as we go, otherwise things could get forgotten! It will be 6 months before our vehicle and camper will return 'home' again! Getting excited now, but also a bit stressed....so much still to do! Better get to it!
