Sorry about the blandness of some of the stuff on the blog! (See previous comment!)
Anyway we have arrived safely in Melbourne after a 1840k trip. It took about 20 hours driving, of which the last 90 minutes or so was in peak hour stop start Melbourne traffic! We struck (literally) several swarms of locusts on the trip down through southern New South Wales. I cleaned the car this morning and found dead bugs everywhere, across the front of the car, in the radiator core, in the windscreen wipers, in every conceivable nook and cranny in the engine bay, just everywhere! They took some steady brushing to get rid of some of them!
Interesting to encounter the cooler weather down here with a minimum temperature of around 12 degrees, much cooler than the 21 or 22 we were getting back home. It appears thunderstorms struck at home yesterday as a nearby weather station recorded 72 mls overnight!
Right now we are again packing ready to head to Ocean Grove where we have hired a house for two nights. Trish and I will take the kids down in Kate's Nissan X-Trail while Kate and Arj will follow after Arj finishes work later today in our (nice and clean) car!
It should be great fun with all the family being there together to celebrate Christmas!
