Sometimes things don’t always go to plan or there are unforeseen circumstances that force a change. And so it is for us ten-months into our year long lap of Australia

Unexpected News

We had already changed our plans to avoid the heat in the north of South Australia and save the south coast of New South Wales for a later trip following the devastating fires. But today we received a message from my brother in the UK to say Mum was seriously ill. We had already planned to head over to the UK for six-weeks and had tickets booked for May followed by a week in Singapore. But now we needed to get back to Sydney, a 3-day drive, change our flight tickets, take the caravan back to secure storage and pack our bags. Now would not be a good time for our car to cause us more grief.

On Hold

So for now, our big plans are on hold, family comes first. We will continue with our Big Lap as soon as we are able but right now it’s goodbye from us for a little while. We will be back!
