2014 – The Plan

Published on by 8itchyfeet6 Comments

Since we returned from our 2011 Trip we have been planning the next one.

Some might say we have itchy feet….

The current plan for 2014 has us departing for Tasmania on the 9th of February (the ferry is booked!).  We will travel Tasmania until 13 April when we return to Melbourne and head across to the Great Ocean Road, then onto the Flinders Ranges, through Central Australia and on towards Darwin.  After that most likely a quick detour west to Purnululu National Park (Bungle Bungles) before heading East to Queensland.  We will spend a while in Queensland visiting both the inland and coastal areas, then home through NSW – details yet to be decided.

Our ideal trip will see us return to Canberra in mid December… though our plans could be curtailed by a requirement for Greg to return to his job after only three months (we have our fingers crossed this doesn’t happen!).
