Update

Last thursday we finaly got our car and (cara)van. Quite an exiting experience for a dutchman who is only used to drive a Renault Twingo. This rig is a lot heavier, wider, longer, slower, but..........we managed and got to Bribie-Island to spend our first night in the new home.
On saturday we went back to the Coromal-dealer to have some minor things fixed and from there we headed north.
An overnight stay in Gympie on a restarea along the Bruce Highway, and next day we went to Hervey Bay. Beautiful beachside spot in the caravanpark, where we stayed till monday. On monday we travelled via Bundaberg (shopping) to Mt.Perry.
We will stay here several days to set up the caravan the way we want. The advantage: we have a broadband-internetconnection.
See the photobook for some pictures.

Het vervolg............




OK folks, the story continues..........
Finally got my retirement settled, sold my stuff, ended the rent of my appartment, said my goodbyes, and hopped together with Pam on the plane. Thursday 15 November we left the Netherlands and landed the next day in Brisbane, QLD, Australia.
Its now monday and we had a very succesful weekend: We are now the proud owners of a Toyota Landcruiser 4WD (6 cyl, turbo diesel, automatic) and a Coromal Capri Caravan.
