Departure will be Monday morning from Sorrento, Victoria. Have a coffee and breakfast at Stringer's cafe, then catch the ferry to Queenscliff.
We expect to take about a week to get over to Perth and up to Karatha. The object of the trip (every trip needs a goal) is to visit Ken's son Jordy and his family in Karatha.
In 1969 we traveled in a 1963 Ford Falcon station wagon. This time we are going in a 25 year old Toyota camper van that a friend of Ken's left him when he karked it last year. I'll get more details from Ken when we're on our way.
Ken is on a mission to WA to throw his mate's (Pommie Pete) ashes into the Indian ocean. At the same time he his visiting his family in Wickham, near Karratha. Dave has gone along to act as Ken's flunky. Ken & Dave last did this trip together 44 years ago in 1969 when they did the classic 'Around Oz' trip that many young blokes did back then.
