The Lap

From early April 24 my husband Mike and I are going on a one year adventure around Australia. We will be taking our small van and doing ‘the lap’ except, instead of anti-clockwise as most travellers do it, we will be going clockwise.

Unlike in 2021 (see image above) we will be travelling without our puppies as both have now passed sadly. That said, we will be able to go into National and State Parks where much of Australia’s beauty is available to enjoy.

We have family staying at the house for the year and currently we are working hard to make it family friendly and remove much of our personal gear. It’s a good excuse for that ‘spring’ clean we’ve been talking about for several years.

Mike has cleaned gutters, roof and replaced rusted screws etc. Hard work with all the wet weather we’ve had as the algae and mold has be in it’s element over the past few years. I’ve cleaned out long forgotten things from cupboards and had to choose what to keep and what to recycle or have it reloved elsewhere.

All in all we are looking forward to an interesting year ahead. I will be posting here to keep family and friends updated. I used to use FB but with changes over recent years, it’s become less friendly for that sort of thing. As we won’t be dealing with national secrets it’s not an issue for others to follow the blog as we go.

Stay tuned if you’re interested.
