3 blow outs one on each rig
1 smashed rim
A million gas stations we filled up at
Best catch of cars behind us goes to Mel with 28 out of Picton 😂😂🙈
Passed one vehicle hauling up Transmission Gully
No speeding tickets
Got yelled at from Siri 1000 times for failing to listen
Made it home intact so nailed it 👊🏽👊🏼

To all the amazing people we met along the way, new friends made and all the laughs, what an epic trip.

Freezing one’s nuts off at the pier for a quick fish but is was sub zero so we took the milk bottle kids for a walk to the end of the pier in support of diabetes awareness 💚

So an elderly couple parked near us are grovelling around in the grass, why? Well they had bought a metal detector and she hid her wedding ring for him too find except it didn’t work 🤣🙈 Iffered to help and the husband says no no she’s got all day 🤣😂🙈
