Our caravan towing course was on 13th December at METEC (http://www.metec.com.au/safe-driving-training/caravan-and-trailer-towing-course/)
We found it really valuable, especially for reverse parking.
The photo below is of Louise reversing in circles.
I love that the tyre marks on the ground make it look like she's been doing donuts with a caravan attached!
We had our 'shakedown' trip in the caravan on 11th December and it was a chaotic rush to get there, we were setting up the van in the dark.
We decided to stay at Wantirna caravan park. No, it's not the most picturesque park in Victoria, but it was close to Kilsyth where we were booked in for our caravan towing course on Sunday.
We didn't have time to prepare anything for dinner. Thank goodness for my colleague Rachel who made me take home some leftover party pies and sausage rolls from my farewell party at work. Dinner of champions!
We did our outback first aid course on 26th November 2015.
One of the handouts was this ultimate guide to the uses of duct tape.
Our favourite is definitely number 36.
