So, what’s all this about then? We decided to throw together a bit of a hiking blog because, well, that’s about all we get up to when we’re not trapped to the confines of our van. We’re a couple of exercise physiologists who, with our 2 young girls,...

Well it’s been a while. I think this whole travel thing is wearing me down—wearing us down, actually. Travelling with kids has taken a little bit of the shine off our trip, to this point anyway. In all likelihood, things will improve—it all gets bett...

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...

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...

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...

After a casual start to the day we pulled out of Lawnton at 11am, making our way for Yarrabilba to collect the rest of our belongings from storage. We parked up in the Storage King yard and spent four and half hours squeezing the very last of our pos...

15 months after we first began to think about travelling Australia in a caravan, the day finally arrived, and after making the short trip north from Wilston to Burpengary, we’ve picked up our brand-new Rembrandt Nightwatch caravan. And what a journey...

We’re onto the final stretch, and with that, here’s an anxiety-induced whinge

Well, we’re onto what should be our final Airbnb stint. This one is located in the Brisbane suburb of Wilston, which was perfectly situated for my final week of work, and not only do we have phone reception, it even has a lock-up garage which was nic...
