Our first day - On our way

Sooooo, we are finally on our way, and what a great start we had. The cat totally FREAKED out and disgraced himself in his carry tray. So, before we even made it to Tannum, there we were, on the side of the road, clean up the mess (Hint: anyone thinking of travel further than around the corner with an old cat that has rarely travelled, sedation is your friend). So, we were soon back on our way, with a much calmer cat once we let him out of the cage to roam freely around the car - well, sort of. Of course, then we had the fact that the car decided to get stuck in 2nd gear - TWICE - to deal with, and aren't roadworks in sunny Queensland just a joy!? Dom did a great job towing the van and, if it wasn't for the copious amount of fuel that we consumed, I wouldn't have even know we were towing it. But we finally made it to our destination. The people are great, really nice and extra helpful - the guy running the place will even park the van for you if you want him to. Dom did it himself - good practice  - but I thought that was pretty cool. We've had a chat with our neighbours and met the regulars - I think us newbies made their day, with all the advice they were giving us! lol. Anyways, off to be lazy! Keep you posted!

Love Dom and Fiona
