Our Last Day

Today we've off home, back to Yowie Bay. We're both not sure if it's the right thing to be doing, but them we also acknowledge that we have to go home sometime!

Our last night at Manildra was just perfect, we had the whole place to ourselves and Bailey was able to roam free without his collar or lead. He's going to struggle at home!

Some statistics on our trip. I have compared the three major trips which we’ve been on.

 This trip, which ended up being an around Australia Adventure, even though this wasn't what was planned nor what we expected when we set off in June.

Our 2013 Savannah Way to Broome with the Kedron and LandCruiser, with our tinny and bikes.

Our 2nd around Australia Trip in 2012, with our Kedron and Touareg, inflatable boat and bikes.

Our around Australia Trip in 2005, which we did with a Ford Falcon towing a 22' pop-top Jayco.

This isn't the full trip as silly Google Maps won't allow me to put enough stops in to get the whole trip.
