So today Rory and I set off (finally) on our trip across Australia in my parent’s Explorer.
Yes it’s Dora the Explorer or in Explorer Motorhome Owner’s parlance #321TV Quedjinup. I know.
We were supposed to leave a few days ago but Rory’s car had to go in for a service and Hugo was nearly back from Cairns so we waited.
It turned out to be a good thing really because after collecting Dora on the Wednesday we could potter about transferring our lives piece by piece into the artfully squirrel like storage units.
Of course that doesn’t mean we didn’t forget things.
Like a mug.
Or garlic.
We decided to make the station our first stop.
It’s about 5 and a half hours due east and gets us to a comfortable spot, off the bitumen for our first night. Yes I’m typing this on my laptop in front of a pot belly stove with a great wifi setup. Rory is watching the Eagles.
Tomorrow night we will be truly on our own.
Dora is a very comfortable ride.
