Join us - Mark, Penny, Fleur and Ellie - as we plan to take some time in the slow lane and circumnavigate Australia in our Larry the Landcruiser and Carrie the Caravan. This blog will hopefully serve as a diary of our trip as well as a means of keeping our family and friends up to date with our travels. We hope you enjoy the ride with us!

    Can't believe it's been 100 days already! You've travelled the same distance we did from Qatar to Scotland a few years ago. Good luck for the next 100 days and try to be more careful with those thongs.
