campervan dreaming...

...became campervan realty a few years ago when I wandered the roads around Uluru, Kata Tjuta and Wattarka (Ayres Rock, The Olgas and Kings Canyon) for ten amazing days.
I felt like a snail...home on the back and all that...and the van was a tad snail like on the road but what a way to travel.
At one point we got well and truly bogged but of course with kettle, coffee, bed and book on hand it was a very comfortable wait until a BIG van arrived loaded with Irish backpackers. They bounded across the road like a pack of puppies and lifted (yes lifted!!) van and me back onto the road!

Still high on the bucket list and a BIG trip into the wild blue yonder...perhaps 'The Big Lap' circumnavigating Aus.
This reminds me daily it may well happen and fulfill a Tropical Queensland tarot card reader's ( no sniggers please!) prediction that it was time to 'release my inner nomad'... and inner hippy but that is another story.
