About this blog

G'day everyone! welcome to our travelogue for our trip to oz - from perth to sydney in 16 weeks! How hard can that be for a family who have never done this before! We are about to find out...having spent the last 17 years renovating our house in Normandy France its time for us to embark on our first airplane flight so Heathrow here we come...our dream trip is about to begin! All we know is our first few weeks are arranged to see the best bits of the west coast then 6 become 3 when we have to say goodbye to our two sons and Emma (jobs beckon back in Blighty)and myself (Bev) hubbie Jim and daughter Natalie are left to fend for ourselves! With family to see in Adelaide and Melbourne can we fulfill our dreams. Looking for words of advice -HELP!
