I feel bad I didn't update as soon as we had our dinner but after having spent the afternoon at a dance eisteddford (that was running 2 hours late), I was exhausted.
Dinner at our place this time and my wonderful husband did everything from the cleaning to all the cooking.
We are actually getting down to some serious planning now - Matt came with a day by day plan to work with which was great - every group needs a leader who knows what he is doing and Matt is ours. After a bit of discussion we have decided to meet in Mataranka (at the hot springs) on July 6th 2011.
I so wish I had taken a photo of us with all our travel books and maps spread all over the table interspersed with glasses of wine and beer bottles, not to mention a laptop and printouts or Matts itinerary - we looked terribly professional and serious!
Our homework is to look up everywhere we want to go from Mataranka, Kakadu, Darwin and Litchfield NP and get some idea of cost.
Paul and I need to sit down and work out how much time we want to spend to get there and then which way we want to go. I still like the idea of going through Alice but I am a bit concerned about time - am now thinking it might be better to do Uluru and Alice as a completely separate trip.
On another note I have finally listed the camper trailer on ebay. Paul said I wasn't allowed to seriously look at Jayco's until we had sold it and I have seen one in Nowra that I think is worth a look - it's a bit older than Paul wanted but it has heaps of extras like roof rack, solar panels and hot water.
Paul is a bit concerned about taking the Jayco some places (particularly river crossings) but was cheered a bit the other night when Maree said Matt was trying to convince her to get one too!
Next meeting is tentatively scheduled for 3rd July - depending on Maree's roster.
