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...

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.

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...

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 done with garage sales and marketplace selling— we had been fortunate in being able to find someone who is happy to hold off on picking up the washing machine and the fridge the night before settlement, and we’d downsized our refrigerated foods...

Recapping where we’re at.

When you step back and think about it, a little stress and pressure probably makes life interesting, right? You could imagine that without those, one might find themselves in the drudgery of life, unable to fully appreciate the good times because the...

House-sits and Airbnb all organised.

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...

When home selling shifts to a buyer’s market.

The roller coaster continues. And it might even be fun it wasn’t for the truckload of stress and worry that has come with it. Stress is, of course, relative to one’s own experiences, and so what may be stressful for one person may not be stressful fo...
