Well it's been two years since we started our trip. Although we are not quite home yet, our trip is done. Geoff is enjoying his job, the town is nice, the park is quiet and friendly. Although we are all a little homesick it is important that we do this for Geoff to get experience to be able to work anywhere, especially closer to home.
We've done over 51 000km, spent $9 780 on diesel, $11 264 on accommodation or roughly $15.40 per night. If I exclude the weeks where we were staying in a caravan park for work and only include travelling stays, this figure drops to an average of $3 per night for accommodation, shows how much you can save on accommodation alone if you're planning a holiday. Of the 104 weeks since we left home, Geoff has worked 36 weeks and I have worked about 22, not bad for an extended holiday. We have only needed the credit card once and that was while we were looking for work near Perth. In retrospect, we probably could have found work much faster if we'd used a postal address closer to work prospects instead of closer to our location.
Thankyou for following us and we hope to be reading about your own adventures in the near future.
Bye for now
Shelley, Geoff and Erin
