Well we have come to the end of another Red Elephant Tour.  It is both sad and happy.  Although for this one it has not gone smoothly and we have mostly had bad weather, we have still made the most of  where ever we are at the time.  The Red Elephants stuck it out as a family and have built some wonderful family memories.  We have visited places we have never been to before and seen some vast changes in the landscape through the car window as we travel along.

Although the weather has been bad I think to myself how lucky we are to see the country at its best after so much rain.  Last time  we took our extended trip through Queensland the country was gripped by drought.  The view  out the car  window was of baking earth, dry and dusty, bony starving cattle and sheep.  This time its so so green with  all the animals looking lovely and healthy.  The dams are so full they are bursting, some have fences running though them,that makes us think it maybe just be a flooded paddock.

As we travel and meet people and get chatting more often that not when they tell us where they are from we can say, oh yes we went there.  I remember.......  And if we haven't been then its a place to  add to the the must go see  list.

It was definitly time to be headed for  home, the Vegemite had run out, the jam  had run out and the space on the camera's memory card had run out.

This is the last Post of this Red Elephant Tour, I hope you have enjoyed the tour along with us and join us on the next one.
