[Robb driving on the wrong side]
[kids in back of minivan]
* Robb saw a dead kangaroo on the side the road and said, "look, kids, a kangaroo!!!" -- thankfully they missed it.
[no picture-- you're welcome.]
* We got stuck in a huge traffic jam when a lorry carrying hay took a hairpin turn in the mountains a little too tight and crashed, spilling his hay and petrol all over the highway -- this was hilarious, mostly because all the drivers stuck got out of their cars and walked down to the site to see what had happened...we got out but didn't go down...the guy behind us got out of his olive VW bug, trekked down and back up -- I asked him if we were going to be okay -- "She's a real beaut down there , al'right"-said the toothless man, right before he showed me the video he took of the wreck on his mobile.
[picture of people out of their cars and our awesome mini-van.]
* We finally turned around and went the wrong way back up the two-lane highway like most of the other drivers around us and decided we should wait to visit Braidwood Australia until our way back from Melbourne.
* Merimbula is a small little town on the Sapphire Coast - we'll be here for two days before driving down the rest of the way to Melbourne.
Sam and Lu have finally crashed and we're close to being on the right time!
Thinking about the States with the big election tomorrow...
More to come from the adventure!

Loved the van with Sam & Lulu not only on different seats, but on different sides of the car. Just like Robb and Kirstie in Belgium when they were that age -- if they literally couldn't touch each other, peace and tranquility reigned in the vehicle!
