So there's about 84 days till we leave!   ;D
Working on April 10 departure with a few days to get to Yulara then a week or so around Uluru/kings Canyon/Palm valley. A few more days to get to Darwin. A week or so around Darwin and kakadu before heading to Katherine. Aiming to get to Katherine a few days before the scheduled meet up.

The way home will be leaving a bit early  :'( probably around the 1st/2nd July. Heading home via Purnululu and the Tanami track. Have to start work on 16th and would prefer NOT to get home late on the 15th. That would suck!!

Kids are excited, well one at least because he misses the NAPLAN test and the other doesn't want to miss school!! You would think having a Primary Principal as a dad and speech Pathologist as a Mum would cover the schooling side but apparently not!
