Entry 1 - Commencing our 2016 Travels

Our relaxing nomadic lifestyle travelling throughout Australia over the last 3 years seemed to come to an abrupt holt near the end of 2015 with the caravan being parked at home for a few months where we attended to other life things.

There was the wedding of Mary’s brother, Steve’s family get together for his parents’ 60^th wedding anniversary, Christmas functions, son Timothy’s wedding with Penny when our daughter spent 3 weeks with us before flying back out to Scotland, house and caravan maintenance requirements seemed to go on and on.

It was a busy period and we longed for the return to a nomadic lifestyle exploring new places with our caravan.

1^st April we recommenced our travels with our first stop over on York Peninsula South Australia a drive of about 250 kilometres to a gathering of Bushtracker caravan owners (a mini muster of about 11 caravans) hosted by Rob & Glenda in a scrub setting in one of their farm paddocks.

We thoroughly enjoyed the bush setting, with plenty of conversations and the magnetism of sharing a fire with other fellow travellers. It was an exceptionally relaxed environment enticing a calm sense of wellbeing placing us in a sound mind to commence our 2016 travels.
