Well after a teary farewell we finally set off mid morning of the Monday as planned. Cant believe i finally got there to be honest!! Made it through the city and over the Westgate Bridge which was my first challenge and a couple of hours in we had our very first 'truck stop'! Thank goodness for truck/caravan parking spaces -no reversing required! We arrived at the Grampians after a 4 1/2 hour journey. The van i'm pleased to report towed beautifully. Managed to snag the only drive thru site at the caravan park and that did wonders for my anxiety levels after an emotionally draining day and couple of weeks for that matter!
What a stunning place and amazing caravan park. Within minutes of pulling up the boys were off exploring on their bikes only to discover an open space with goal posts so it was back for the football. We were set up in no time -the boys set up the bed ends by themselves which was a great help. As you can see above we settled in to dinner, writing in journals and a movie as a first night treat! Home away from home!
Off to a great start. You should be so proud of yourselves.
