Leaving Tuesday Morning

Hi guys, we, Alice and I leave for our second trip Tuesday morning, a couple of days late due to an uncle of Alice passing away at aged 91, we decided to stay for the funeral which will be on Monday.

I expect it will be a exciting and adventurous at the last, and we will enjoy many lovely places as we pass through some of the country side.

We are heading North to Queensland first to see my mum who is pushing 94 this year, and staying a few weeks around the Brisbane area, from there we go as far North as possible, we do want to go to the top of the Cape, but would have to hire another vehicle to do that as our rig is to big for the conditions past Cooktown.

From there across to Mt Isa, and then eventually into NT again, from there who knows.

If all goes well we expect to be gone for about year.

We will keep in touch on IIS from time to time when reception permits.

Leon and Alice
