Living the dream in our kombi camper!

Just spent a couple days refurbishing Shirley! After years of talking about it we finally ripped out the old fridge and stove to make more room for band equipment and clothes, so we will have some more breathing space in our camper van! So when we need to pull over for a nap we don't have to play tetrus for half an hour just so we can put the bed out!! AND its amazing how much lighter she is - so hopefully this will save a little fuel too! Tomorrow we continue on the open road.... its 9 hours drive to Adelaide, then 17 hours to Sydney and another 12 hours down the beautiful east coast back to Melbourne...  We plan to take our time and not drive more than 4 hours a day and make some video blogs of our life on the road, writing songs by camp fire and so on as a potential practice run for a much bigger journey up the West coast of Australia next year!  I will put some photos up now! xoxox Todd
