8 more sleeps to go

The excitement is building and we are slowly completing our ToDo list or more precisely, we are now adding less items than what we are completing so by the end of next weekend I'm hoping to have everything done. During the week we had a UHF radio fitted to the car and acquired an important tool called Tyrepliers.
This weekend saw the installation of a roof platform which required modification of the brackets as they don't make any to fit this platform to our car. We also fitted an additional battery charger to the Caravan so it'll recharge whilst travelling.
All the main components for our trip are now fitted and installed but there is still a little bit of wiring and some testing required before we can take off.
The trip preparation is now happening in earnest with some last minute travel tips from neighbours who went to Broome last year. We have booked our first night in Lockington with friends who are kind enough to provide us with a caravan site on their property. A few more spots along the Nularbor have been earmarked as overnight stops but ultimately we'll be guided by weather and temperature, if it's nice we stay otherwise we keep moving. But before we get to the warmer climes we have to endure this cold for little while longer so we have equipped our Caravan with a small electric heater and ourselves with thermals.
Coming week is shaping up very busy with lots of tasks still to be completed at work, so we'll be rolling up our sleeves to get it all done within the next 5 business days.
