I saw your thread and had to reply. all I can say is 'be prepared' lol. DH and I have done it 2 and a half times...... from Townsville to Perth and back that is..... not just 1 way. To be really honest there are a lot of touristy stop off's along the way so it really makes life quite interesting. We have done it once by ourselves, once with DD1 when she was 2 or 3m and then again with DD1 when she was 18m. It was alot easier with a newborn then a toddler. We had a portable DVD player WHAT A LIFESAVER!!! We also had loads of coulouring in book, pencils etc, A small variety of new toys so she got excited about them right away rather then her being already bored with them.... (by new I really mean toys that I hid from her for about a month or so before hand plus a few new cheap toys). One thing that made a little bit of a difference as well..... we moved her carseat around a little, it maybe felt a little like you do when you move your lounge around lol.....


I wish you all the best. All in one breath I will say Ha Ha but I will also say.... it is an experience I think we all should get... I really enjoyed it.... the first time and the 2nd time (not the last though uh! lol) but I really hope you, DH and your little one enjoy the journey, take loads of pics for the memories too
