Our first trip has commenced

[leon]

Hi guys, well at last Alice and I have started our first trip, and are now the second day into it.

Pulling this rig has it challenges but now I'm pretty used to it, and we are experiencing new things all the time.

This inaugural trip should see us gone for at least 7-8 weeks, we will then come home for Christmas and then shortly after that we will be heading off for as long as it takes. .

We a first heading West, but due to my mum being very un well in a residential home in Queensland we decided to go North first, on the chance that we may not see her at all if we we to head the other direction.

Anyway it doesn't matter really, has we have no time frame to follow.

We are presently on Phillip Island for a day or two after which we will be heading along the Coast, and slowly venture toward Queensland and from there we will take some weeks to come down South a bit further inland.

Below are 2 pics of the rig packed and ready to head toward Phillip Island today

I will ask the Landlord about the possibility of you using the free space we have all around our house to park while you are in mackay

Looks like a great way to spend your spare time.

It's never going to fit across my front yard!
Lucky there is a free council camping ground just down the road from me. Hot showers and everything.
Be safe and enjoy the drive.

Enjoy.
Cheers Kev.

Of all the years I spent in Katherine NT I think your wheels & motor home are the spiffy'ist of spiffy I have ever seen in the migration.

Enjoy your trip....I know you will.

Bon Voyage Leon & Alice, once you get to QLD you could always keep going and get to WA over the top.

Safe trip Leon

That rig sure looks spectacular.

Cheers

[leon]

Ah Ric it is some thing we have been planning for a couple of years, and yes it is spectacular indeed, however we did have to sacrifice some things to be able to purchase it.

No name as yet, but that is coming, and JJJ might take you up on that we just need a bit of space, the showers and other facilities are already built in, totally self sufficient, can go anywhere, no utilities needed.

Hi Leon,

I thought we had sorted out the name before?

Otherwise TOFOTR works for me.....Two Old Farts On The Road

Looks like you should apply for a POSTCODE for that monster!

Certainly looks comfy.

Enjoy...

Cheers
