Following our 7-week asthma and pox-inducing tenure in Denman we hit the road. Sensationalism you might say. Perhaps a little. In any case, following one last hurdle, being the increasingly washed out driveway track, we made our way north-west, with...

Ah, Cessnock—a city overflowing with potential.

30 Oct 2023 3 minute read 0 comments Brittany_Aus Explorers

Located 150km’s or so north of Sydney, Cessnock lies at the southern end of the Hunter Valley wine region, and as such, is a town with a great deal of potential. Despite its conceivable prospects, and being named after a Scotland castle, Cessnock’s l...

Mylestom—Muttonbird Island—Our first travelling casualty.

15 Oct 2023 3 minute read 0 comments Brittany_Aus Explorers

With Alicia being over 20 weeks pregnant, our plan for travelling down the New South Wales coast has been to make short trips, keeping travel time around one and a half to 2 hours or so. It has also been good to reduce the time Alina is strapped into...

Leaving Queensland behind—first stop, Byron Bay.

8 Oct 2023 3 minute read 1 comment Brittany_Aus Explorers

We’ve now left Queensland behind us, and as much as we can’t wait to be back, we’re not likely to cross back over its borders for quite a while. There’s so much of this beautiful Country to explore, so it’s a bit early to be getting too sentimental o...

Our first nights in the new van, and an ultrasound of our newest family member.

Having spent our first few nights in the van, we’re now ever-so-slightly more experienced caravanners than we were 3 days ago and, if nothing else, our short tenure at the Lawnton showgrounds has showed us that…we’re near in over our heads. But, it w...

New car—hopefully, a sensible choice.

12 Aug 2023 4 minute read 0 comments Brittany_Aus Explorers

No cryptic messages here, or surprises for that matter—we have been quite busy and as the title suggests we have found ourselves a new car. It’s a used car, and it may not be the perfect choice, but it’s best, and most sensible option we could get fo...

House-sits and Airbnb all organised.

30 Jul 2023 3 minute read 0 comments Brittany_Aus Explorers

What can I say, the momentum has continued and things are starting to take shape—the adventure is so close now it’s difficult to contain the excitement. We have not one, but 4 house-sits confirmed, some Airbnb’s booked, and the house sale has gone un...

Timing selling and travelling.

15 Jul 2023 4 minute read 0 comments Brittany_Aus Explorers

So, we are in somewhat of a predicament—or at least, we will be. Sure, it’s not an unprecedented situation, but our circumstances are a little unique in that we are selling our home with the intention of hitting the road the moment our caravan is ava...

Searching for our next home.

10 Jun 2023 4 minute read 0 comments Brittany_Aus Explorers

We’ve been trolling the used market for a van that ticks as many boxes as possible—a search that’s made more difficult by the fact that we had our hearts and minds set on something very particular and, I suppose, a little unique. But with that said,...

Closing in on a decision.

21 May 2023 3 minute read 0 comments Brittany_Aus Explorers

When life is going perfect, there’s no place you’d rather be, and you probably wouldn’t change a thing. I don’t mean perfect in the literal sense—we all have ups and downs and challenges. But if you have a great relationship, or are single and truly...
