Tomorrows the Big Day...
« on: February 11, 2013, 08:50:47 PM »
Hey all Swaggers.
Tommorrow is the big day... Our around Australia adventure will start. On the boat, Melbourne, and turn right. First stop is going to be about Wilsons Prom for a night or two. Then who knows where.
So will be looking out for those MySwag stickers and if you see me in the Pig with the Camper and Missus in tow say hi on Ch40 or come say hi if we are stopped.
Looking forward to meeting a few of you.
Keep up with where we are at www.thelifeofrileys.aussieblogs.com.au
Cheers
James

Well done!  We are just in the getting ready stage for our little trip.  Depart at Easter for either 6 or 9 months, straight to Perth and then up the west coast.  Life is just way too short and as they say, you can't go back and do it different, so do what you want now! 
And I love your plan.... :cup:

We were thinking about trying to join the MySwag across the gulf trip, but might be leaving a bit early, plus would mean going across the Gulf, Back, up the Cape, then back across the Gulf... Wait and see.
