The Outback Rover Returns!

WOW what an adventure! Heat, Dust, Flies, flies, flies and lots more flies!! but oh so worth it, just for the 'outback' experience! Flying, would have been faster (and yes, next time i'm flying!) BUT, in the boys words.... This is the BEST holiday EVER! They were so well behaved on the drive to Mt Isa, we were gobsmacked! lol..it must have been the investment of the incar dvd player, with 2 screens and inbuilt games player! (we had a problem with the games LOL, Aaryn, can't play the PS2, without, moving, jumping and mouth action, which simply doesn't work when you are strapped in a car! HILARIOUS wasn't the word! he managed ok though LOL and yes, got photo's). It's the first time, we've ever gone on a trip without getting lost (just keep going north, then head west! LOL) and made it in record time! We had a night in Rockhampton, (complete with train loading station right behind our cabin, which the lady on phone forgot to tell me about!), a night in Longreach (directly opposite the airport and on the highway, which the lady forgot to tell us about LOL) and 3 nights at Argylla in Mt Isa (which was perfect!! no noise at all). All went very smoothly, no faults with the car (a first!) except for perhaps one speed freak husband who when told by the 'speedo and talking clock on the back seat aka Cameron' that if he didn't slow down, he would get into trouble, kept telling Cam that we were in the outback and there wasn't a cop for miles!!! oh is that so??? so what's this then??? chopped liver?? LOL.. looks very much like a COP to me!! He wouldn't let me take the photo (the cop that is oh and gary too LOL) so i hid, much to Cameron's disgust, behind my seat and took it through the back window!! as if it wasn't bad enough having a speed freak, law breaking father, Cameron was mortified to have his mother 'break the law'too, by taking the photo! Hayley was absolutely dumbstruck when we rocked up at her place a day early!! (after ringing her 5 minutes before landing at her place to tell her we were in Longreach LOL). Well worth the secret, just to see her burst into tears!!

Will update with more details after dinner! so much to tell, so little time (and only 345 photo's taken tut tut tut!!)
