As you can probably tell I am a wild adventurous woman who can barely be tamed in her restless days of being a homeschooling Mum............NOT!!!  I am infact a stick in the mud and while my husband can come up with some wild ideas I am usually an anchor dragging him down  I confess though this was all my idea, well kind of, dh was going to outback Queensland to work but at the last minute and I mean the last minute for we waved the plane off with him standing beside us he could not leave us, what a good man. So in a mad moment I suggested we go with him. Now this is what we are doing, we are heading 2,385 km's away for my husband to drive a Roadtrain similiar to this one. So it is a working holiday for my husband, it is 4 days on 3 off so plenty of time to explore and we will be doing school.  We are staying in a unit at a caravan park in a town full of history for it was one of the first places in Australia where gold was discovered. We will be just over an hr from the coast and will be going to some wonderful places while up there, like here-

We are taking a laptop with us so I shall be sharing our journey if I survive the heat. We do things back to front for we are heading to the hottest part of Australia at the hottest time of year, most days are 40 degrees and over. We plan to be leaving on the 17th of October and staying for 3 months but could be even more wild and head somewhere else before heading home or the more likely scenario is we'll run home like scared little kittens . We have someone house sitting for us and it does not really matter how long we are gone for.

This is the area we are heading, we will be staying at Charters Towers and I think we will go up as far as Cairns. I look forward to sharing our trip with you.
