Australia Road Trip!

I'm heading out tomorrow early morning for the start of my month long journey around Australia with Carlotta. We are both so excited and ready to explore. First off, we're heading towards Brisbane with our boss from the bp Robin who's giving us a ride. She was telling Carlotta that she needs to take a lot of breaks so this could be quite a long start to our trip tomorrow. It's free though so we can't really complain. We rented a camper van for two weeks, it's a super ugly one - don't worry I'll take some pictures of it to show you all. We start from Brisbane with the van and drop it off in Adelaide. We're going down the east coast stopping along the way at places like Gold Coast, Newcastle, Sydney, Canberra, then down to Melbourne. Going to drive the great ocean road from there up to Adelaide. We're staying in Adelaide for a couple of nights then taking the Indian pacific train all the way across the country to Perth. I'm so excited for that train ride!

We're spending a week in Perth before we split up for a week. Carlotta is going to Alice Springs (middle of the country) from there and I'm going to Cairns (north eastern tip). I want to see the Daintree rainforest while I'm there and go to the Great Barrier Reef!

Carlotta and I will then both meet up in Brisbane after that on February 22nd where we'll also meet up with Bob and Deli! We'll party with them for a night before they take us back home to cunnamulla for a week so we can hang out with them and do a bit of painting. The regulars are all excited for when we come back home to c'mulla so that we can be on their side of the bar and drink with them. Haha. Both Carlotta and I fly out of Australia on March 3rd.

That is my next month plan as of now. It should be full of adventures and crazy stories. I'm looking forward to it, getting out and wondering through Australia with my new buddy Carlotta. I'll try to post when I can but I'm not sure when I'll have Internet.

  1. I hope you had a very good trip, Julie! I do remember my road trip last spring on Brisbane. The place is oozing and fantastic! I would like to have a repeat this coming May if my schedule permits. I can’t wait to hear your adventures! Do update us!
