100 days- Narrabeen Beach, Sydney
Waiting for the storm- Hunter Valley
We left home on September 21st so today is the hundredth of our trip.
Lots has happened to us all- and we have laughed and learn’t at everything.
There have also been the negatives: lu’s 80 mossie bites in one night; the extremely challenging stresses of pre-pubescent daughters; the van break in and several other motorhome crisis’, to name a few, but we deal with it all and are taking an increasingly Aussie ‘no worries, no drama’s’ approach.
We set a pretty difficult task for ourselves today- pick the 5 best moments or places and your worst bit. I assure you picking the top 5 was hardest.
Here it is.
Olivia-
1- turtle rescue at Mapoon.
2- Aarukun speedboats.
3- Christmas day at Byron Bay
4- Dreamworld- ‘The Claw.
5- Meeting my new Aussie mates- misha, tashi and elyssa

Happy New Year. Love to all
