June 2018...We are off in the caravan...'Around Australia' we plan to go
We had an amazing trip with our new Aussiewide caravan in 2014 and we are off again in 2018, this time travelling 'Around Australia'. In 2014 we travelled across Australia to Tamworth, down the east coast and then around the bottom. We took in the Great Ocean Road, then it was up the middle to Darwin, back and across into Queensland. We travelled the peninsula's of South Australia and then played 18 holes of golf on the 'Longest Golf Course in Australia', as we came back across the Nullarbor. We will be travelling with our friends John and Dorothy Stokes who have a small motor-home. We will start our holiday together by playing bowls at the carnivals in Carnarvon and Dampier.
