The Van Purchase...

THE PROLOGUE           DARWIN    TO    ALICE SPRINGS

12-11-2005        DAY 1

After purchasing the Coromal van in Darwin and spending a week at our daughter's home visiting the family we drove down the Stuart Highway  to Tennant Creek for our first night on the road.    We  booked in to the Tennant Creek CP for the night.  For dinner we bought some takeaway pizza.

13-11-2005        DAY 2

Leaving early today we stopped at the Devil's Marbles briefly before continuing south to Alice Springs where we arrived in the late afternoon.  We had no problems towing the van and made good time , but then, we had few stopovers along the way.   This will be the quickest trip we will make with the van.   Looking forward to retirement and travelling throughout this vast country of ours.

My plan is to make some modifications and additions to the van before we begin our travels, such as add a battery, sat TV, 12v lights and power outlets, additional storage on 'A' frame, generator and a few other little things.
