We're in Townsville
Hi everyone,
we're in Townsville now, arrived here last night around 530pm.
We're both absolutley knackered! We've been driving for around 6-7 hours a day but it takes acouple of hours to set-up and pack-up again so there hasn't been much to time to relax! Until now anyway, we're here until tomorrow and then a 3 day stop in Cairns before we head to Cape York.
The tent has held up well with the rain and wind that we've had but the mattress is getting an upgrade when we get to Cairns! Clark rubber is first in the agenda :).
We're off to watch the grand final today in the city so will sign off for now and will update again soon.

Day 1-5
Hey everyone,
well we're in Alice Springs at the moment gathering a few last minute supplies before we head off into the bush again. We've travelled around 3,000kms so far.
Day 1 saw us get about 280kms before we got pulled over by the police and slugged with a $50.00 fine for our dodgy license plate!!! Aparently they couldn't read it properly. Luckily the cop was into 4wd's and liked Nathan so he gave us the minimum. We camped off the side of the road just outside Kambalda that night and headed towards Eucla the next day. We managed to find a pub and got to watch Collingwood FLOG Geelong!!!!!!
Saturday we bush camped again off the side of the road again and had a fire, it's been bloody freezing.
Sunday, Nathan found a short cut going from Ceduna to Coober pedy, saving 4 hours. Saw some wild flowers - stuart pea, emus and heaps off bob tails.
Well gotta go now, we're gonna find a camp outside of tennant creek for a couple of nights then on to Mt Isa.
Bye for now

We're off !
Only a few more hours and we will finally be on our way. Although it's not looking like a very good start. The Great Central Road is closed! It's been raining pretty hard and the forecast is for more to come.
So, for now it looks like it's the nullabor... We're going to check again when we get to Kalgoorlie but it's not looking good. Either way we should be around Alice springs by Monday and then Cairns by next Sunday(26th).
