Our journey to the outback began with an early start at Coffs Harbour. We stocked up on own brand cookies and Werthers original before filling up and heading inland 5 hours. The roads soon became empty and before long it felt like we were the only ones around, well us and the road kill anyway. The nearest town to the farm was a place called Bingara, where we had booked a motel for the night. This was not a town as you or I would know it, this was a town where y...

Well welcome to our overdue blog! Times have been flying by and with two months gone already, it's pretty scary!

So the length of time we have spent in each place has been a reflection on how much we have enjoyed it or how practical it was. We decided to have an itinerary for the route down to Brisbane to spice things up a bit, but all that soon got thrown straight out the window.
