We have our Dream Road trip planned for this year. We hope we’re not being too ambitious in light of the current fuel situation. Our son and daughter-in-law live in Darwin, and have just moved into their newly built home. We hope to get up there to visit them.

The plan is to travel slowly, and stay a little longer than usual at destinations as we move slowly north. We will remain flexible as we travel, as the future fuel situation remains uncertain thanks to Mr Trump. Our plans may have to change at a minutes notice, but that’s the beauty of travelling with your accomodation being towed along behind us, home can be wherever we stop and for as long as we stay there.

We’ll leave home with initial plans of getting to the Carnarvon area, around 1200 kms north. Then we’ll reassess, and if all is looking good to continue we’ll move towards Broome. If things aren’t looking to promising at any stage of the trip, then we’ll just stay put in the nicest place that’s within our reach until things settle down enough to allow us either to continue on, or to return home. It is currently looking promising though.

If luck is on our side, we’ll complete the full journey over approximately four months. We’ll travel over 11,000 kms and we’ll see some of the country that we haven’t seen before. The Red Centre, coming down to SA from Darwin will be new territory for us. As will both the Yorke, and the Eyre Peninsulas in SA.

We leave in three days time. I’ll try to bit more consistent with my posts for any of you who are following along…..
