Blog 16th Feb - Victoria, the Home straight.

I think for the most part we can let the picture do the talking…


We have covered approximately 5200 kilometres from Broome, WA, in less than 7 days to get to the town where my Dad (Rob’s) and his family arrived first after leaving Holland, way back in 1958.

The reason we left Broome in such a fashion will be unpacked on the blog in the coming days, but all I will say for now is that the road from Broome to Darwin was flooded and the humidity averaged 80%, temperatures at night were consistently above 28 degrees - bad combination. We were faced with a choice between a wet, muggy, flooded tour of the top end, or a shorter trip and ‘unfinished book’ which will be completed at a later date. I think for now I will leave the blog at that, and I will endeavour to update it again at the weekend- when conditions are more favourable.
Over and out
