And so the road trip begins!!!
After hitting a few snags in the road trip planning, Pixie and I have started out down the East Coast....
So PIxie has managed to master the sketchy driving on the wrong side of the road in a giant ass vehicle..Props to her for not killing us yet!! One question still remains.. The roundabouts... evil or good?!?!?! We'll let you know....
Night one ended in Townsville, where it was SOOOO humid, sleeping really was not an option! And as soon as it got dark, oh MAN, the bugs came out in swarms... I have never seen anything like it! We booked it out of there super early in the morning!
Since then days have been generally hot but the evening have cooled significantly!!
We have had many run in with birds at the sites..including crazy peacocks, and swarms of birds in tree above the van (causing us to have to hide from the shit storms)!!!
We have had truckers trying to pick us up, and lots of sketchy trailor parks boyz....... (sorry dave W, not interested)
We are now in NOosa, and tomorrow we embarck on our canoe trip through the everglades!!!
Stayed tunned (our internet time runs out in 2 mins, which is why this is rushed.....)

damn motha f'n peacocks. You try and get a good look at the peahen, and the peacock thinks you are trying to still his girls, and chases you around the island....ahhh.
Meegan, hopefully you learned from my mistake, and didnt try and pick up the peacock, and hence had a safe trip with peacocks
