After five weeks exploring the southern tip of our beautiful country (and now trying to convince everyone who hasn't been to Tasmania yet, to jump on a plane or boat and visit some time pronto!), Luke and I have jumped on a plane from Melbourne and come home for Christmas. A holiday from a holiday? I like the sounds of that. Poor Jefro the Kombi is being rewarded for not breaking down once so far, by spending the silly season alone, locked safely away in a factory in Melbourne (thanks, Sven!) and won't be back on the road until January 19.
So until then, thanks for visiting Two Tonkins In A Kombi and reading about our funny little adventure and we really hope you check back in mid-Jan, when the trip around Oz will continue. Merry Christmas! 
Yours lapping up good food, a soft bed and a real bathroom,

P.S. On returning to Luke's parents house last week, we were greeted with a suspicious looking envelope. It seems that Luke had done the impossible! No, he hadn't won the $21 million Lottery draw whilst we were away, he had been booked for speeding in Hobart... IN A KOMBI! What a proud moment for us both as we toyed with the idea of paying the extra $11 and getting a photo from the RTA sent to us to frame, as proof of this unlikely event. How unlucky that the one time that we had Jefro hooting along the highway at 180km per hour, there was a hidden speed camera. Unlucky indeed.

We have enjoyed reading of your travels (discivered from Google Alerts - you probbaly used the word bushwalking or wilderness in your blog)
Looking forward to reading more in 2008. PS we live in Tasmania
Thanks so much for your comment! We're glad you like the blog and are happy to say that it has helped convince a far few family and friends to head over and see the beautiful Tasmania for themselves!
Stay tuned as we will be back on the road from mid- January.
All the best,
Odette (Two Tonkins In a Kombi)
