Our story

Thanks for joining our family on our journey.

This trip has been more than three years in the making. First we talked about it a lot; “Wouldn’t it be great to do a long road trip around Australia?” Then we procrastinated a bit; could we ever afford it, how old would the kids need to be? And finally we drew a line in the sand and settled on the date.

Three years ago we decided that 2018 was the year. Last year we cemented it with some big holiday purchases starting with the contract that we signed at the Caravan and Camping Show for a new off road van. After that our dream finally seemed real.

Since the van arrived in June 2017, Drew has re-engineered it to make sure our Pajero can legally tow it, re-designed and fitted extras as only an engineer can!

Now we’ve got six weeks until we head off, through Western Australia, up the coast to Darwin and back down through the Red Center. And who knows where else this journey might take us, but knowing our family it’s bound to be a little bit crazy.

Hope you enjoy our story.
