Matt's taken two days off work to play chauffeur for
us. Today we checked out the 4x4 van
that we will be picking up on Wednesday to see what it needs to be kitted out
with to our satisfaction. It looks good
but a few basic modifications and it will be great. After all, it will be our
home for the next 6 weeks.
The hire company provides all the necessary items for
touring but we thought that the bed would need a few additions: foam underlay,
sheep skin underlay, comforter rather than sleeping bags and big fluffy
pillows. There's camping and there's
Glamping ... guess which one is us?
When Nic's father's family settled in Western Australia
after emigrating from Italy in the 40s, they had landed not far from where Matt
and Jo live. As a recognition of the
Italian immigrants, the local council has named streets after the families, so
today, we visited Yacopetti Crt. More of a track really, but a new area with
some nice homes already built.
