The kids almost begged me to decorate the car so I gave in the end. The tinsel only lasted 21 kms on the freeway then fell apart so it's all gone now.
Day 1 done. Only got as far as coolgardie but we didn't get away until 10 am so that's not too bad. Kids went ok in the car today, I think I might start a website or a book or something about each towns playgrounds with a rating system and reviews cause I think we will be stopping at a bloody lot of them in the next few weeks.

Many who do travel do document something. Not as silly as it sounds..

I thoroughly recommend keeping some sort of account, whether a blog (plenty of freebies), a web site or even just a few notes scribbled in a notebook. It's amazing how much stuff you forget if you don't. I still often remind myself of stuff by looking at my travel blog, which of course always jogs further memories. It can be a bit of a chore at times, but the effort is repaid many times over in the years following. Your kids will love reading it some day.
Safe travels

The last time I crossed the nullarbor I was on my own driving my XB GT falcon this time in the patrol with the family and one kid with gastro. Which time do you reckon was more enjoyable?
Anyway after shit loads of spew stops and cleaning of car seat stops we have made it to port Augusta safe and sound and the spewing has finally stopped.

She did such a good job hardly any complaints except while she was spewing. If it was her sister we never would've gotten anywhere. God I hope she doesn't get it now.
