SUMMARY 2018
2018 was another year devoted to
travelling, exploring some magnificent locations in Australia with our caravan
in tow providing our accommodation needs.
Previous years we had travelled
to a faraway location enjoying the scenery provided by the journey along our
chosen routes. 2018 we chose not to travel to that far away location, due to a
family clan gathering for a wedding and the arrival of a granddaughter over a
period of about two months around the middle of the year.
We chose to stay closer to home
(within a couple of thousand kilometres or so) exploring some of the south
eastern regions of Australia over the year. We still managed to clock up about
23,500 kilometres on our tow tug signifying how big Australia is!

2018 was another special year for us. The pleasure, tranquillity
provided being out and about in the awesome Australian bush removed from the
hustle and bustle of modern life and the excitement with the arrival of our 2nd
granddaughter. We also added some upgrades to our caravan and tow tug refining their
provided modern day comforts, enhancing the equipment for many more years of happy
travels.
