Day T-4 Monday 28 June 2010

Ok So…This is the first post!

We are planning to head off on a 3 month trek around Australia, with a month in the Kimberleys towing a Kimberley Karavan (hence the kk in Trekkin).

We have both had a few health issues leading up to our trip, me with a debilitating back problem that kept me flat on the floor & off work for 3 weeks & Tereza with a skin cancer scare & some surgery.  We’ve considered postponing a few times but made the GO decision last Tuesday.

We plan to leave Canberra on Friday July 2 & head to Grafton for my dads 86th birthday on July 3.  Next stop on Monday July 5 will be Ballina at the Kimberley factory where we will get solar panels fitted to the roof of the Karavan, a second LPG gas bottle fitted & a carrier container fitted above the front cargo box.  We will also get a general maintenance & battery check conducted.

Here are a few photos of our Karavan, opened at Broulee on a test run & closed for towing so that you get an idea of the size of the Karavan.
