We’re home!!

It seems like yesterday that we just started on our trip  on the road,..but at the same time, it seems like forever.  But we’re HOME!

With only a few hiccups here and there, we made it.  We ended up bringing the Scout back with us from our stopover in Townsville.  We’ve picked the dogs up and both are very well behaved in this neighbourhood filled with dogs and kids.

We had a gas cylinder go missing, but it’s now been returned.  And the caravan is now empty and ready for detailing with a fair bit of Pilbara dust and Oodnadatta dust left in the wheel wells.  Chris has washed both cars, pulled all the drawers, fridge, and racks off the Cruiser.  I’ve managed to find a home for most things.

Our furniture arrives on Monday and the Telstra phone tech arrives to give us our new phone number.

Yes, we’re at home.  In the ‘Burbs”.  We’ve been  living rurally for quite a few years now and having neighbours so close will take some getting used to.  I just reflect back to Mom and Dad’s house, and our houses in Toowoomba.  This will be interesting.  New etiquette rules apply.  No loud music, no yelling from room to room, keep the dog’s barking down, clean up after your dog, no loud cars, the bins have to be used properly with garbage in one and recycle in the other. ….hmmm,..yes, this could prove interesting considering I like to be able to hear the music from all points of the house, we like to start our conversations when the other person LEAVES the room, and the Scout has such a sweet purr when the engine is revved up, …and don’t the dogs have a paddock to do their business?  Oh yes,..I think the training begins for everyone involved.

In the meantime, it’s Sunday morning, a day of rest and that’s just what i plan to do.
