The important thing for this post is that they decided to tie the knot in QLD & there was no way we were missing it.
We made the somewhat ambitious choice to drive the 2100kms from Adelaide to Brisbane. So on Saturday 9th July we piled the kids & all our summer clothes into the car & were on the road by 9am. By 11am the DVD player was on & we were praising the brain that invented such a life saving device.
Our first stop was Pinaroo for lunch.
Our first night on the road was spent in West Wyalong which is about 900kms from Adelaide which was further than we had hoped to make it on the first day. We slept in the only accomodation that the caravan park had available.... an old railway cart. It was long, annoying to navagate but pretty cool.
Xander was kind enough to time a nappy stop with a drive through Parkes so we took the opportunity to stretch our legs at "The Dish" (made famous in The Dish).
Our second night on the road was spent in Warwick which was just 2 hours out from Brisbane,. Notice the t-shirt in the middle of winter, oh QLD how I love your winter weather.
We were originally planning to do the trip in 3 days but because the kids did SOOOO well we were able to do it in 2 with just an extra 2 hours on the third day. I love the adaptability of those kids, I must remember to commend their parents for a job well done in that respect!!!
Since the kids were such troopers on the drive we decided to head straight to Dreamworld but there are a whole lot more photos for that so I might save that for tomorrow.

you have reason to be proud of your bubs for being so good on such a long drive. i think this was the first year that we drove the 7 hours to and from california without any arguing. never mind that they're 20, 18, 16 and 12. it's true what they say...good things come to those who don't end up in a mental hospital first.
can't wait to hear more.
love you all.
