Our Adventure

A Troop Carrier and Caravan.
12 months around Australia.
Mum, Dad and four kids.
Sounded like a good idea at the time!
Follow us around Australia as we attempt to School 3 kids and a preschooler, continue working by giving remote desktop support a whole new meaning and enjoy the whole experience...

Tweed Heads

Ok...so as we've travelled around this great country of ours, we've come to realise that crossing from one state to another makes you feel like a Mexican. Rules are different, costs are different, terminology is different. What you can & can't take across the border is different.  Well, car rego is no different. We decided that, to save the hassle, we'd just drive down the road, into NSW & get a roadworthy, pick up rego papers & done. Queensland do not need an annual inspections, and therefore do not have an e-check system...grrrr!
Michael dropped us at Kirra Beach for a swim, while he dropped the car off. Of course, in troopy style, nothing is ever that easy. E-check turned into five hours. There were a few repairs needed to the shocks. Let's just say we are all a little sun kissed. 
Tough spot for a picnic!
Remember, before children, when we could have had an afternoon nap...instead a tower (lol). 

A quick trip to the RMS to get a copy of the rego papers & I should be able to pay online tomorrow. Job well done!
