A Single Step...Day 1..May 1st
The Macca-Myers finally hit the road, after a delayed start, on 1st May. We are sad and excited to leave all at once, but buoyed by all the support and well wishes for our trip. Julian has been the chief organizer, personal carer in the last week so big thanks to him for getting the family on the road.
Day one, after a few last minute jobs, left at lunchtime, drove five hours NW and ended up at the Dimboola cravan park for the night. Heavy rain and some rumbling stomachs in the back seat meant we didn't quite make it to our original destination of Little Desert National Park. Still we enjoyed eating Oreos in the camp kitchen and a shower the next morning. Tomorrow we cross the border into S.A. towards the town of Loxton and inching towards our first major stop-Flinders Ranges.
Kids are enthusiastic about doing their schoolwork in the back seat so far. Kylie has seat up a 1m x 1m home office in the front seat, mags, snacks, IPad and of course enjoying the scenery! Over and out...

Congrats on your good start, happy campers. Have a nice day in the office Kylie! When you climb St Mary's Peak in the Flinders, Kylie, take some photos for me - I've never made it up there. And Jules, a few nice snaps of the ancient art on the rocks deep in Chambers Gorge would be nice. You do have six months to fit in these little side trips don't you? Lots of love and envy,
