5 Weeks out and really not ready at all

So it dawned on Blond and I that we have 5 weeks left till we depart, with Christmas and new year and family commitments, that is really like 3 weeks left to attend to any outstanding items.

One of the thing whcih keeps playing on my mind is that we have never actually fully packed the van yet, ever, so it will be a bit of trial and error, things might get interesting.

Some of the two do items are:

Wire in 12V socket for fridge - Done as of today. 
Get gas connector for BBQ to sure for Weber
Check wheel bearings Caravan
Check brakes Caravan
Check spare Tyre
Redo negative shunt
Reconfigure interior cupboards and the like
Leveling hitches or springs? Work out load and see how car sits. 
Sort out how to take bikes with us
Make shelves in caravan
Sort out TV bracket if possible. 

So Easy. LOL.

We set up shop quickly, practice makes perfect, with the need for the diesel heater becoming apparent on sunset as the temperature dropped into almost single digits. Tonight we settle down to sleep knowing that in a few days we will be on the boat back home. It seems like only yesterday we left Tasma...

Day 29. Such is Life

With the overnight temperatures being nice and cool we all got a decent night sleep and the morning things just went well, brekky done, washing down, it all just kind of worked. We haven't really planned much for Melbourne, so we are just playing it by ear. First stop the DFO to purchase much needed back to school shoes for the small ones.I tell you what, if kids feet go by the same mantra like dogs and grow into them, then my kids are going to be like 7 foot tall!!  Dollars spent and bored boys; we headed back into town to visit the Melbourne Gaol. We have never been here but have heard good things about it and we were not disappointed. Firstly, we were all locked up in the watch house, role play of course,  and shown around the old Remand Centre which was in operation well into the mid 90s. From there on, we headed out into the main old Melbourne Gaol. WOW what a site, we had completely...
