Journey

"You miss 100% of the shots you dont take" I think the great Michael Jordan may have said that at some point.

Its a great way to look at life also. I think we tend to get cought up in the regimented 'day to day' and sometimes forget about taking on new challenges and exploring life. When the time is right in our lives as a family unit we want to get out there and explore not only this wonderful country but other countries around the world. It can seem a bit daunting to take a large family on an extended holiday with lots of travel, dealing with lack of sleep, tired grumpy boys and uncomfortable conditions. Its actually something that we deal with pretty well and ultimately through the hardships it brings us closer together. If you think about the best holiday's you had as a kid, you wouldnt remember so much about where is was but what you did together as a family.

Em, Rich, Jack and Jo are deep into an amazing adventure across the country where they have left everything familiar behind in Perth to tackle a new challenge over east. I admire and respect what they are doing and think its a brave and bold move, and one that I'm sure will be so benificial for them as a family. Good luck guys! Be safe, enjoy it and we will see you over east soon.
