Two years had passed since our big caravan trip to the southern States of Australia. It was time to be on the road again. The travel bug was biting hard! Whilst we would cover old ground on our trip, new destinations beckoned to be explored. It would be a good opportunity to catch up with family and friends along the way. Our trusty Jayco Eagle caravan always meant comfortable accommodation at the day's end. The trip was planned for summer for hot weather conditions; so no winter clothing would be needed. T shirts, shorts and sandals would be the norm. Along the east coast of Australia good sea breezes would make the hot conditions bearable. The holiday season would be in full swing along the way. Our travel itinerary was ready, it was time to go!
