Leaving... again

Well, the last twenty six days have been a little hectic...

I managed to buy a car on the 1st of January, which was cutting it a little fine, even by my standards. Our designated leaving date was the twelth of January, leaving little time to service the car, fit dual batteries, a new stereo, move house (for both me and my girlfriend), have a fairwell bash, an engagement party (not mine!) and also manage to find a couple of days to finish up work in there somewhere...

But we've done it. We actually left on the 16th, a few days late... mostly due to finishing stuff off on the car. Let me tell you a little about it: Its a glorious 1985 Holden Jackaroo, finished in two tone white and grey, with some loverly 80's vintage decals. We've christened it Cindy Lauper, simply for the 80s connection. We've decieded to call her Cindy when she's bad, and Lauper when she's good. So far she's been Lauping all over the place, trecking through the Grampians and Blackwood without fault.

Back to leaving... so we left on the 16th, but had to return to Lethbridge on the 20th for some family stuff that Lauren needed to return for. We are now about to leave again... for good!Finally!

Today we head for the great ocean road. More to follow...
