Well, we are home! This trip has been absolutely amazing and undoubtedly the best thing we have ever done as a family. The 3 months together has seen us laugh, love, fight, stress, bond and grow into a stronger unit. We have been lucky enough to see some incredible parts of this country and are so grateful that we gave ourselves the opportunity to do this. Also we have met some fabulous people along the way and have experienced the generosity and mateship that Au...

Had a huge day driving from Forbes in NSW to historic Echuca. We found a great free camp in the Camps Australia book so went to check it out. It was a ripper, right on the banks of the Murray River, so we set up camp for the night. Had a lovely, peaceful night there and decided to have a quick look around town in the morning. Smiley and I hadn't been to Echuca for about 20-something years and were amazed to see how it had grown since then. There are heaps of good...

Hi. We are definitely on the trail headed for home now. Have had a great couple of days.

Headed off towards Dubbo on AFL Grand Final Day. Hoped to be there and set up b...

The surrounding forest through the hills and valleys is full of huge ferns and palms, very tropical and pretty. The town itself is a pumping place ful...

Yes! We made it almost 2 weeks ago to the Sunshine Coast, to civilisation and to Nan and Pa. We were all so excited to be back with family, in a place we absolutely love. It was also great to have a large choice of mechanics to take a look at our ailing Beast. She had been a little thirsty, so it was time for a check on the cooling system...again! The news wasn't the best, bloody cracked head! Ok a bit of an unexpected surprise but we counted ourselves very lucky...
