I am taking all the kids on a road trip. We're driving from Brisbane to Yass, which is just outside of Canberra, then up to Jindabine (probably), then possibly back through the Blue Mountains, then definitely up to the Dubbo Zoo, then through Tenterfield to visit an elderly relative, then home to Brisbane again. I hope to do all this in 11 days and not die trying. In fact, I hope to have lots of fun times with the kids.

Aden has his learners permit, so there'll be two of us driving, so we're contemplating driving through the night and making the trip down to my cousin and her family in Yass in one trip, then taking it slow coming home. Just drive a few hours each day, probably in the evenings or early morning.

So, the total distance is likely to be almost 3000km's, which I suppose is about 2000 miles for you metrically challenged people.

I think I am crazy, but I have great memories of road trip holidays with my family from when I was a kid, so my plan is to create those in my kids.
