Massive first day yesterday. From "Tony's Budget Caravan Storage and Art World Warehouse", to Sal and Jacko's front lawn in Barwon Heads. Tom, Emily, Jacko, Sally, Sally's mum and dad (Jane and Bill), sister Penny and brother-in-law Phil, nieces and nephew all gazed in wonder as Kimmy rounded the corner. First reverse parking completed with Bill's able support (and the caravan brake on).
The van then got a thorough going over, with Bill and Jacko giving an electrics 101 tutorial, although it must be said, Tony had already got the ball rolling in that respect. Best news of the day, was Bill's pronouncement that our battery was not stuffed.
On to beer, wine and BBQ. Slow start after that this morning with all the kids sleeping in. Phil and Tom took me for my first surf of the trip, and I broke in the new board, or "The Brick"as I think I will be calling it from now on.
At the end of day 2, I'm so happy to be finally on the road. Bring on the rest of Australia.
