Resurrection

27 April, 2018

I hope to resurrect this blog. It has taken more than three days, more like seven years.

This blog commenced life in conjunction with my/our 4 Corners travels whereby I set out to visit the 4 corners of the mainland of Australia. In order from south, west, north and east - Wilsons Promontory, Steep Point, Cape York and Cape Byron.

In 2011 I/we did visit both Wilsons Promontory in Victoria and Steep Point in Western Australia but then returned home for reasons that defy explanation.
In 2012 on a separate expedition I visited Cape York in Queensland.
We had already visited Cape Byron in NSW many times.

So, "mission accomplished" - but the initial intention of circumnavigating the nation was not achieved.

Now we hope to drive right around the country over a three months period. Initially we will travel clockwise quickly back to the point where the 2011 trip ended, a mere 4,600 kms, to a point near Denham, Western Australia. From there we will be revisiting territory first travelled 45 years ago and we hope to do it in more comfort than we could afford at that time.

Much has happened in seven years, but most importantly, grandsons Toby, Eli & Crusoe have joined us on this Earth.

Toby is seven years old. He is a very clever young man. He can do everything that he tries to do. Now, he is developing a love of reading and this is a wonderful thing.

Eli is five years old and he is a genial smiling little boy. He always wants to know "why?". He will be a scientist one day.

Crusoe is two years old. He is a blue eyed blond haired Viking. He knows what he wants and how to get it.

I hope that the blog of this trip may help the boys learn a little of the geography of this land of theirs.
