Our new Australian home parked outside of a great wineryThe plan, buy a van and drive it up the East coast to Cairnes, then West to Darwin. Did I mention everything is backwards here - they drive on the wrong side of the road, we have to go north to get to warm weather, and we are on the east coast! Hmmm...
Anyhow, we found it, the little van that would - "Suzy". Soon to be renamed "Fuzy", as in our little fuzy van. It had right hand drive and a 4 speed manual shift on the column, it was funky. She could drink oil faster than Brian can drink beer, but we had big plans and she came with everything - tent, esky(cooler) complete with food, spices, games (smash ball, volleyball, boomerangs), chairs, cook stove, candle lanterns, oil lamp, pots/pans, cookery, folding table, maps, sleeping bag, etc. Some new tires and we would be golden. Oh yeah, and she was going from a punk paint job by the previous owners, to a new cat like, fuzy one.
After a thorough cleaning, & a few groceries, we were one our way. Car camping, caravan parks, and campsites oh my! Totering along at almost 100 kph (about 60mph), we headed north to the warmth.
Fuzy would soon get a face lift!
