Middle of this week we leave Sydney for almost a week, starting with a flying visit to Melbourne.
Thursday morning we jump into a hybrid and begin a 5 - 6 day road trip through parts of rural Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland, finishing up back in Sydney.
Despite taking as many sealed roads as we can along the way, there will be a few unsealed bits. It'll be a good test for a hybrid car otherwise used to being a city vehicle... and for this reason we'll be taking an EPIRB, and our 24/7 NRMA come-to-you-anywhere-in-Australia membership with us. Just in case.
I'll be keeping a journal each day of this journey... it's been a trip we've been planning for awhile. Originally we were going to leave from Sydney, but on the news we'd managed to get into the studio audience of the Hey Hey Reunion down in Melbourne the day before we were due to leave, we decided rather than spend extra money flying back, we'd just move the starting point from Sydney to Melbourne instead.
We'll try and make little mobile updates each day on Facebook at least, prior to the full blogging on LJ... not sure how much wifi we will get in some of the places we'll be heading to!
That will be followed up with photos of course.
So... until next week!
