Car problems delay leaving

Can you believe that after years of planning and months of getting everything ready for "the trip of a life time" (12 months around Australia fossicking and filming the treasures that are in our vast back yard,)
we have a  hiccup, in the breaks to the 4x4 are sounding more like the crunch of a hammer mill, not good when you have 2500 ton under tow. So we are in holding mode till a diagnosis is available from the mechanic in Dorrigo.
Its a case of all packed up and no were to go, we will keep you posted.

6 Days and counting

Well now reality is setting in no longer am I pinching myself to confirm reality, we are 6 days away from leaving on our biggest adventure. Today we packed all our worldly goods into a storage container not knowing when or were we will see our things again, it will be like christmas I should imagine?
But for now we are living like hermits swatting in an empty house wood fire burning, may have to bring out the candles to set the mood even more.
We will be picking up the van tomorrow its has been fitted with some extra gear to make ourselves more self suffient in the out back, we will post some footage soon on the van, which will be our home for the coming year at least.
Both Al and myself have since childhood dreamed of circumnavigating our way around Australia, now we get the opportunity to do that while filming our exciting new Gemstone Adventure series. How good does it get!
We will be bloging all the way so stay tuned we want to share the treasure hunt with you.

Warm regards
AL.B & Laurie C
