The long drive to Brisbane

It's time to drive to Brisbane for our April holiday.

On the way we stop at the Siding Springs Observatory - visited on the way home last time Aaron drove from Brisbane to Canberra with the boys. Since there a fire swept through devastating the area. Some months later it's still a moonscape

Some of the trees are growing leaves straight out of their trunks - weird!

Here's Luke in front of one of the planet signs that shows the sign of fire.

The stats in the trusty Citroen when we arrived.
