On the Road – Day 1 – Airlie Beach – Townsville (Tue April 24th)


We’re now officially ‘on the road’ for the next 6 months or so!  We left Airlie Beach on Tue April 24th. After saying goodbye to our house and pooch Loki L, we headed into town for a lovely farewell breaky with Tilly and Grandad.  It was a bit emotional for all, especially when we surprised Grandad with booked flights to Perth to see us in Sept for his 70th birthday!  After the kids had a quick play in the park we said our good byes. The kids were over the moon with their special sacks full of treasures from Tilly and Grandad to keep them entertained in the car.  Mummy and Daddy were happy with their bag full of goodies too, that we got last night. Thanks Tilly J

We headed straight to Proserpine to go over the weigh bridge, our fully loaded camper and truck weighs  4.1 Tonne.  Wowee! 
It was a good trip up to Ayr for lunch at the Plantation Park rest stop, where Sienna enjoyed a climb on the Aboriginal Dreamtime Serpent.

We continued onto Townsville, where we spent  2 nights catching up with our friends, the Jacksons.  We set up our camper on their lush green front lawn, it was a great spot to spend our first two nights on the road.  Sienna and Cameron had heaps of fun playing with their 2 children, Lydia and Billy.
