Not much longer for the big car as josh will have his license in less than 2 years (watch out!!!!)
Definitely less to pack when you only have a max of 4.
Had some good and bad news today. The license plate got moved this afternoon, a bit to the left. After seeing it I told them it wasn't legal still. You cannot see the last digit and you can't see the whole thing if you are 2 degrees off centre. The guys took pictures and sent them thru to the manufacturer, who said it was legal. Took car straight to a licensing centre (had a police car following me the whole way....was panicking big time.......luckily someone ran a red light so they took off after them), where they told me that it wasn't legal by any means, not even close to being legal.
Call the company myself and got the 'we've been doing it this way since 2004' speel until I mentioned where I took it. I am now taking it to them to hopefully sort out.

Certainly am.
Picking up a spare for the van tomorrow from Medina! New tyre on a seconds rim, just got to take the spare too as he needs to make sure the offset is right ( I googled it, but as I'm officially finished work....my brain will not comprehend what I read about that tyre kind of stuff!!!)
Going up the GNH all the way as I can't be bothered doing 20-40km/hr in roadworks up in minilya. (Apparently it goes from minilya to nanutarra)
Thanks @bigcol ! There were 2 hospital trips this week. Matt got his cast off and a splint put on, with the added bonus of : no climbing, swimming, walking anywhere wher he may slip, trip, fall, etc, no sports, etc........yeah right!!!! unfortunately one bone still has a 2mm gap, so we have to be careful. Then hubby broke a rib.
Time to go I say.
Well, you know....in this house it's 'pull your weight, or suffer the consequences.' He's suffering. Ha ha ha.
Really, I was no where near him . Not sure what he did. All good though.
you have a great trip @Smirke
dont forget the write up and the pictures

So where did you fit the Flying Doctor Medical Kit box ?????, saw one at a station and they are pretty big.............and how much did your sat phone and emergency airfield set up set you back ??????
Nothing like going prepared.

Have a great and a safe trip @Smirke, I'm sure you will enjoy yourselves. Look forward to the reports and piccies.
Hey @Smirke as above have a great trip, I am sure we will cross paths somewhere probably Cairns/Port Douglas 
All under control @Drover . My mum gave me the number for the rfds so I don't need to carry the kit! (Kept broken arm son home from school today....just in case)
But, I reckon it would come out cheaper than this car and its accessories .
