First stop over- The Grampians

The fellowship of the Germans!!











The view from Mt. Sturgeon, it was a bit chilly up there.












And yes we climbed it, apparently the A-Line...
found an easier way back down again.

Packing up the household and last preparations

BYE BYE and off we go!!! Finally
The recovery gear, a huge first aid kid & lots for car spare parts take up two compartments inside the car. You know why, in case you need it!
















And the rest of our household and clothes goes to our friends the 'Brotherhood', which provided us with the 'starter kid' at the beginning of our time in Melbourne in 2002.















At some stage in the middle of the night, one tired Andy...











What clothes to take....?? Very hard what not to take actually











One very last check over on the car. Most important!!

Garagesale and Going away Party

We had to sell pretty much our entire household...
It was a long day- the Garagesale was followed by coffee and german cakes with lots of screaming kids and finally 'Off we go' Party.

























The Party was great fun, although some of us had to pay for it the next day...
