Post by: PC on May 12, 2025, 03:34:12 PM
Hi everyone
Just a little note to let everyone know that I have passed the Shop onto Wild Rose to take care of
As Navgirl and I leave the Sunshine Coast in the morning to head to WA via the NT
We are intending to be away for 12 months or more
I am sure I have left the shop in good hands and look forward to catching up with you all when we return or during our trip
So HAVE  A GREAT TIME while we are away  :hatwave :hatwave

Nice trip, envy here.  How many RTE's will you be able to fit in?  Remember, plenty of pics or it didn't happen.

Hey gday just thought I would give you an update we are currently at Hann river 300od ks into the Gibb river road we crossed into WA on the 26th of June after tripping from the Sunshine Coast up through QLD and the NT and stayed in Kununurra From ther we did a flight over the bungle bungles & lake Argyle (holy fox trot tango is that big)a boat cruise on lake Kununurra  and yes did the drive across Ivanhoe crossing
We then headed out onto the Gibb and stayed at Penty cross river where we were able to check out a big water lizard From there we also went to Emma Gorge and El Questro Station we then spent 2 knights at Elenbrea station before moving to here
Tomorrow we head to Manning gorge for a couple of days
Had a few screws come lose and fridge door popped open from the corrugations but no breakages
Have a great day everyone

Hi again, there have been a few k’s covered since the last post. We’ve been to Karratha, Onslow, Tom Price, Exmouth, Carnarvon, Geraldton then down through the beautiful wheat belt and wildflowers to Kalgoorlie and are now in Esperance.  While in Onslow there was a fishing competition being held and we were lucky enough to score some Spanish Mackerel steaks.  The winning fish was just over 34kg.  We did some gold detecting in the gold fields area north of Kalgoorlie ( no joy there). The DMax has just clicked over 20000kms since leaving home with an average cost of 30c per km.  In 2017 when we started to travel it was 19c.  Have a great day everyone.
