A new chapter

We made it...

3,500 kilometres,

One week of driving,

Three horrible motel rooms,

Three surprisingly lovely motel rooms,

More fast food meals than any person should really consume, 

Two mostly happy, occasionally cranky, toddlers

Countless memories,

And a fantastic new chapter in our life.

Moving house is never really fun, but moving to a new house 3,500 kilometres away is both stressful and exciting...

Being without internet or mobile phone for days on end was surprisingly refreshing.  

I did enjoy being out of touch with the world...just for a little while.

Our trek across the country was an adventure...

We saw plenty of red, red dirt...

Seas of buttercup-yellow canola flowers...

And blue sky that seemed to stretch on forever...

We saw where the outback meets the sea...

We crossed the seemingly endless, treeless plains called the Nullabor...

We saw how fertile the outback can be...

We saw funny signs...

And yes, there really are stray camels in the outback...we saw a whole herd of them *eep*

We drove in a straight line for 146kms...really...

We had a few 'Are we there yet?'s...

But we also had lots and lots and lots of fun...

Isn't life good when you can have an adventure like this!

So the newest chapter in our book of life starts in Melbourne now.

And I'm itching to create!
