Travel Plans

Alright, I thought it was time to detail our travel plans so you all know what we're planning. In just a little over two short weeks Phil's parents (Maria and Neil) will be arriving for a visit! I can't wait to meet them, it is going to be very exciting. The four of us are going to travel around for the better part of a month, until the end of May.

From Bundy, we're going South to Fraser Island (where Phil and I went last Easter, but for a short time because Phil got tonsilitis). After Fraser we're going to Noosa which is this gorgeous, swanky town with lots of cool shops, nice restaurants and a bunch of cool things to do (rent boats, swim, dive, etc).

After that, we will essentially be driving from Brisbane into Alice Springs in central Australia. Along the way, we'll be checking out loads of little outback town. We'll visit the Stockman's museum in Longreach, the dinosaur tracks and the Waltzing Matilda museum in Winton (where you can also walk on the wing of a stationary airplane!), we'll go to Roma (home of the Big Rig) and a few other bits and pieces. We're planning on spending about 6 days in Alice Springs and Uluru (Ayer's Rock). Phil's cousin, Jude, who lives in Sydney is considering coming out to Alice as well, it would be great to see him again. It is going to be incredible!

That will take us until the end of May. The plan from there is very general. We are going to head North to Darwin where we will meet Heather if all goes to plan. We are going to check out Kakadu National Park and then head down Western Australia. We suspect Heather will travel for about a month, from Darwin to Broome. After that, Phil and I will travel on to Perth (and I will have to get to Sydney for my Dec. 18 flight back to Canada, so we'll see what we do between now and then).
