Still Moving Along, Alice and Leon

Hi Guys, it has been a little while since my last post regarding our travels.
We, Alice and myself are enjoying every minute of the trip, all is going well, the rig is in top shape and 4 weeks have passed so quickly, however we are not finished yet.

We will head back to Vic a couple of weeks before Christmas and spend so time with the kids and the little ones, and then move off to the west indefinitely, or where the breeze takes us.

We have just spent 10 days in Queensland and now we are camped up in Moree, we have also done quite a few free camps, in some wonderful bush areas.

While in QLD we did a few trips, here and there, spent some time with the rest of the family and also visited the Australian Zoo, now that is such a well organized affair, spotless and the animals are so well looked after, we loved it.

Tomorrow we intend to head to the North West of NSW, firstly to Walgett, and then follow on to Bourke, from there we haven't thought about it much, and if we like it there we will stay, till the travel bug bits again.

Will post about our experiences from the Back Of Bourke later.

Leon and Alice

PS, i have been shooting some sunsets and sunrises on our travels, maybe you would like a look, hope you like them. LG

Excellent pictures Leon.

Great to see the trip is going well, It's a great feeling knowing you don't have to rush to be somwhere.

Looking forward to some outback pictures.

Cheers

Good to hear it's all going well Leon (and Alice of course!!).
Those pics are excellent - I'm sure you'll find yourself under some very nice dark skies on your travels. Thought about sticking a 'barn door' mount on a tripod? Have you still got the modded 5D?
All the best
Doug

Thanks guys, yes I have to say we are very lucky to be able to do this, and I hope for some time to yet to come.

We have been relaxing in the Artesian heated pools of Moree today, now that is an experience in it's self.
No Doug I sold the 5D as well, but still have some fine lenses and another normal 5D
Talk to you soon.

Alice and Leon
