  Day 138 - Sunday - 4/10/2026 The final pack up of the trip was today. We got in the car at 8:40 and drove the remaining 476km home stopping at Cowra for lunch. With just 2 hours remaking towns were becoming more familiar. We crossed the border into the ACT at 3:30 and parked the van out the front of our house. We walked through the doors into our house which now felt huge unpacked and unminded. We had finally made it home after our amazing trip through the Northen Territory, Western Australia, Queensland, New South Wales and finally home.

I would like to thank everyone who made it this far and I look forward to seeing some of you later on. Thanks for reading! Us at home in front of the caravan
