27-28 January 2024
And now time to head all the way back home. Six hours driving. The girls keep on singing in the campervan with opa and meter. And Tristan enjoys alone time with his parents :-) We cross eachother a couple of times on the road.

We are pleasantly surprised upon arrival at Yass by the warm temperatures (30*C ?) and enjoy a dive in the local swimming pool and a beautiful barbecue to celebrate our last evening on the road.
Next day another 4 hours of driving. But luckily Aiko entertains us with her 'Aussi Jingle Bells' (we have heard it a hundreds times now :-)
Dashing Through the bush
In a rusty Holden Ute
Kicking up the dust
Esky (A food cooler) in the boot (the Trunk)
Kelpie (cattle dog) by my side
Singing Christmas songs
It's summer time and I am in my singlet,
Shorts and thongs!
Oh, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells
Jingle all the way
Christmas in Australia
On a Scorching summer's day
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells
Christmas time is beaut
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a rusty Holden Ute!
Engine's getting hot
Dodge the Kangaroos
Swaggie climbs aboard
He is welcome too
All the fam-I-Iy is there
Sitting by the pool
Christmas day, the Aussie way
By the barbeque!
Oh, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells
Jingle all the way
Christmas in Australia
On a Scorching summer's day
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells
Christmas time is beaut
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a rusty Holden Ute!
Come the afternoon
Grandpa has a doze
The kids and Uncle Bruce
Are swimming in their clothes
The time comes round to go
We take a family snap (photo)
Then pack the car and all shoot through (go home)
Before the washing up.
