The Car

Sadly, our new car, The Red Rooster was pronounced "UN-road worthy" only 2 weeks after we purchased it. Apparently our "steal of a deal" turned out to be simply a steal. We have already gotten over the loss and have opted to hire a car instead.

The Next Step

We are entering our last week in Warrnambool and are planning on traveling around Australia for the next 4 weeks.
Our plan is to travel first to Sounthern Australia, taking the ferry across to Tasmania, and are planning to spend a week there. From there we will head back to the mainland, over to Adelaide, then through the central part up to Uluru and eventually Darwin. From there we will head down to Brisbane for Christmas and New Year's and eventually to Sydney. We have been told that if you break down in the central portion of Australia help could be literally miles away. Needless to say, a reliable car is not a luxury but a necessity. We will definitely proceed with caution. ::smile::



Typical Australian Food

Hopefully this gives a window into our everyday experiences in the Land of Oz. We have all agreed that we are definitely going to re-visit this country. How can you not love this place?
