Ready to go!

At last we are fully packed, all shopping done (phew- the bank account will be relieved!) These last few days everything has gong wrong, and had to be sorted. I've made a friend in Paul, the guy at the auto shop, I have been back and forward many times a day. So he'll be glad we've gone.

Anyway we had a dry run putting up the gear, took us a while because it has to be in a certain sequence and we did it wrong a few times. However we got there and this is the result:  

We were exhausted by this time so we had to stop for a cuppa, or in Anne's case, a glass of red.....

 This is the kitchen in the rear of the car.....

And the bedroom upstairs.....
(the first time I've not lived in a bungalow for many years!)

And Anne purporting to carry a ladder?.....

And finally Betty raring to go- ( that,s what we've decided to call the car) and tomorrow at 7am we will be on the road- due north up the Great Northern Highway, a three day trek to the Pilbara, our first taste of off roading for a few days to see if we can handle it.

By the way we managed to pack it all up in 26 minutes, not bad for a first attempt. Our aim is to erect everything in the time it takes to boil the kettle- we'll keep you posted
