January 12, Day 263 Camper trailer to Caravan

Hi all
just a quick note to update you all. We took the plunge and bought a caravan. It is a GT Classic 23' Viscount with 2 single beds up front, kitchen and sitting area in the middle, double bed in the back and two concertina doors making it 3 rooms plus a full size annex. We bought it privately from a family that just returned from 9mths in Broome. It came with a washing machine, TV, rubber matting for the annex, huge fridge (can finally have icecream without scoffing it in the park), box of choccies and bottle of champers as well as a stuffed toy lion for Erin. One of our neighbours gave us an aerial so we could watch the TV so that was an added bonus. Erin hasn't stopped smiling, she is so happy to have her own space that she can make her own.
We still have the camper trailer, I have almost finished moving everything across and cleaning it up, just have to wait for Geoff to take his tools out then we can pack it up and put it in the paper.
Geoff changed jobs today, he didn't like the job he was at and Monadelphous offered him a position in the same area so he accepted it and is much happier now. I am still waiting to hear back on my applications but keeping busy with moving 'house' and sorting Erin's school work out before that gets back under way. Her report card last year was A's and B's so she's accepted Distance Ed as being a good school for her.
We hope that everyone is well and had a great New Year, may this year be better than the last for us all.
Cheers for now,
from the Happy Caravanners!
