We are very excited. David and Bec, are moving from Queensland to Perth and they are bringing our grandchildren, Sophie, and Alex with them. It’s a big move for them and we are thrilled. But first, we have to get them here. It has proved impossible for us to visit Queensland due the WA’s border restrictions despite our best efforts, however, for now, the borders are open and now is our chance.

The plan is for us to fly over and while Debbie helps Bec with the children and with the final farewells and formalities, Dave and I will drive their two fully laden vehicles the 4600 klms back to Perth. The girls and the kids will then fly back and meet us at home.

It’s a BIG drive, which we expect to take us at least six days. If you don’t live in Australia, you are likley to have little concept of distances. Lands End to John O’Groats is a long trip but you could do it in a day, this is a week’s travel and you are still in the same country.

We all just have to stay Covid free until then!
