The ship (and hopefully the container !) is now well into the Mediterranean having passed Gibraltar last night/this morning.

Southampton
Been watching the tracking for the ship, it’s at in the channel at the moment, waiting to head into Southampton. Rather them than me in the current storms we’re having ! It seems the container will be loaded on the ship in Southampton as we’ve now got the location for the container as well as the ship.
Update
While searching for some info on the container ship (APL Qingdao) we happened on a YouTube clip showing the ship leaving Southampton with our container on board…
Hamburg err
Have had confirmation this morning of the ship and container details for the 90. The ship is currently in Hamburg and is due into Botany Bay a week before we arrive.
It’s gone !
The Land Rover is dwarfed by the transporter lorry.
The transport truck arrived this morning and the 90 is now on it’s way down under. Hopefully we’ll meet up again in Sydney 🙂
Still going over and over things in my head trying to think of anything we might have forgotten although anything we’re missing now will either have to be bought when we arrive or taken in our luggage… let’s hope if there is anything it’s not too big or too heavy !
Nifty Lift up body on the transporter
Although we don’t have a route or schedule planned for the trip, preferring to take things as they come, we’ll be compiling a list of places we’d like to visit, things we’d like to do etc… while we’re there and will post the list up here. Now the 90 has gone we might get some spare time to start some rough planning. So far the only fixed point in our trip will be the Melbourne GP as we have tickets booked for that already.
