I guess you are home now, safe and sound.  Like everyone else, I thoroughly enjoyed your trip; the photos and commentary were really fun.  Glad you had a great time and met lots of lovely forumites.

I have a theory about the nullabor crossing - I think they just put a couple of corners on the road every now and again just to see if you are still awake!

Thanks so much for sharing your travels with us all.

Judy, my DH would love to go to Europe and do a historical tour of the different battlefields   :-)) :-)) :-)) and the war museums there.

Me - I can think of plenty of other things I would rather do in Europe!!  You can be sure that I wouldnt be doing the battlefields with him

I hope to get over the GC in the next couple of weeks Hally. Will pm you when I know.

We got home about 10 this morning. We have unpacked the van and put stuff away. I have a loaf of bread in the oven, done 2 loads of washing and part of the van is washed. It was a good run home. Here are the last photos. . The Ettamogah Pub in Cunderdin.
. Coming down Greenmount hill into Perth.
. Our roses looking lovely to welcome us home.

Thanks again everyone. Hopefully the Birdsville track next year in a camper trailer ,not the van.

Welcome home Cookie & DH, the roses have put on a lovely display for you.  Thanks for sharing the holiday with us and for coming all the way to Adelaide to allow some forum members to meet you for the first time.

Yes Cookie and DH - welcome home!!  There is nothing like sleeping in your own bed, is there  ;D

Thanks so much for your wonderful photos and commentary of your trip, and especially for taking the time to stay a bit in Adelaide and catch up with some of us here.  We all loved meeting you both!

Glad you made it home safely Cookie. It didn't take you long to get a loaf of home-made bread baking!

It was lovely to meet you & your DH here in Adelaide.
