Birdsville and Beyond - day 1

Today is the first day of our big 4WD tour through south-east Australia.

The past couple of weeks we have been preparing for the trip; getting the car serviced, buying additional camping gear and of course supplies.

We left Sydney around 2pm and set course for Dubbo, NSW via the Blue Mountains and Orange, arriving at 7:30pm. We're spending the night in a motel and will leave early tomorrow morning for the next stretch.

Not even half-packed.

I've just installed BlogPress on my iPhone. Hopefully I can update our blog on the go; for instance during our upcoming 4WD trip.

May we have your votes please?

No, no, no, we are not talking about the Eurovision Song Contest, but the elections for the Dutch parliament on June 9th .

As overseas Dutch citizens we are allowed to vote via mail. First of all you have to apply for mail-voting with the mayor of The Hague, who handles all overseas requests. After the ballots have been printed, they are sent overseas; together with instructions, forms and a return-envelope. Because it can be difficult to get the votes back on time in The Hague, we can send them to the Embassy in Canberra for processing and counting. 

Hmmm big piece of paper	Arjan's vote, but not for the Animal Party
Ready to go
