Getting ready for the big trip...

This is our first ever blog in preparation of our momentous trip around half of Australia. The idea was spawned by Bill Joycey mentioning plans with the Harveys to take a big outback trip towards Broom. It has been 12 months since that conversation and in 2 weeks we will be off for our adventure of a life time.

It has been a relativley inexpensive exercise in that we have only had to purchase a new car (Nissan Patrol) a Jayco Outback Hawk Camper, oodles of other equipment and a few borrowed bits.

The scene is a little remniscent of something out of Mad Max. A camper loaded to the hilt with every possible nook and cranny filled with something that might be needed in the middle of B%M F&^K NOWWHERE (BFN for short). If the map has worked then you will see exactly where BFN exists... mostly between Mount Eliza and Broome and perhaps on the way home between Broome and Mount Eliza.

There are tales of horror and despair but with our trusty photographer "James" at least we will have evidence of our traumatic events.

So stay tuned for the upcoming adventure.
