That's the end of Trip No1. I am back in Nelson Bay for about 3 weeks. I have bought a 200 watt Solar Panel that will be fitted to the Hiace roof next week, some minor additions will be made inside and it will have a full service. Then I'm off again this time to Far north Qld for an indefinite period. I loved every minute of this first sojourn and can't wait until I can get going again. please keep an eye on this blog for more posts. Before I leave I will add amongst other things a selection of my favourite Photos and maybe a bit more poetry if you are into that.
Below is a summary of the trip. I used "Nomad Notes" software which is really easy to use and kept a detailed account of all costs, fuel use etc. At $49.95 it is well worth the money and only takes about 5 mins per day to keep up to date.
