Day 29 - Home

Today we said our goodbyes to Peter & Mandy and headed off early to go home to see and squish our Amber.

We have mixed emotions about heading home, a great part of us wants to keep going & I think if Amber was with us we probably could. But as they say, all good things must come to an end and we need to start saving for the next adventure.

So after over 8,000km of driving we have seen such a small part of the country. You really don't realise how big Australia is until you start getting out and seeing it. We are firm believers in seeing what's in our own backyard before we make the big step of overseas travel.

There is nothing we would have changed and certainly no places we visited that we didn't enjoy immensely or wouldn't go back to. Doing this trip with My Swag helped us get to places we probably would not have done on our own, places like Palm Springs and Ruby Gap, harder 4x4 roads which when in a group makes them so much easier & safer if something goes wrong.

The people we have met have been fantastic, some we now call friends and will definantly keep in touch with and the Victorians, Linda & Family & Jacko & Family, we will camp with again and probably just catch up for dinner & drinks. Everyone from ten My Swag community contributed in some way to making this a great experience.

Highlight of the trip for me was Kings Canyon - just Wow & how it made me get out of my comfort zone, I am quite a shy person so this trip has done me wonders & it's showed me I can do just about anything. Matts highlight is also Kings Canyon walking around it was quite an accomplishment & he loved the 4 wheel driving. Chloe's highlight is well everything....she has declared it the best trip ever!

Goodbye from us for now we are off to clean & wash red dirt from every crack & cranny of the car, trailer, clothes & ourselves.......
