I have a Map.

It's not an "Normal Map" - One of paper that never quite goes back into its creases.  
This One is Fabric and is actually an Embroidery Wall-hanging 
With the Awesome title of "MAP MY LAP" (That's my Lap around Australia!)

It has all the Major Roadhouses, Station Stays, Roads & Outback Tracks. 
As well as the  Indian Pacific and Ghan Train Lines. 
(They haven't caught up with The Overland or Great Southern - But I have added those routes in as well.)


It is getting a bit congested around Adelaide as the Great Trains are Based at  Adelaide's Keswick Station.

I have also added Our Great South Australian Adventure of 2008 (Teal with Gold Beads for where we stayed each night.)


Red for the Ghan runs through the Heart of the Country while the Blue of Indian Pacific goes Perth to Sydney

The Great Southern - Brisbane to Adelaide via Melbourne is Orange
And The Overland (also Blue) travels from Melbourne to Adelaide.

Our travels around Victoria are still to be done but I am thinking I will just add some Seed Beads in the places we have stayed, especially when you retrace your steps.

And we haven't forgotten Tasmania!
Our latest Adventure is already Mapped In.


I couldn't resist adding these Iron On Train Patches to my Order.

I just have to work our WHERE I want to put them 



And when it is time to take my Embroidery On the Road - 
It came with a very well thought out Organic Cotton Tote Bag with room for my Threads and Scissors


So Where To Next?  And do I pack it or enjoy reliving the trip when we get back?
