In the summer of 2019/20 uncontrollable fires devastated over 19 million hectares of Australian bushland, over 2,700 homes were destroyed, and 34 people lost their lives. To put the catastrophe into proportion the area affected equates to about the area of Hungry and Austria combined, or 20% of Australia’s forests. However those figures mean nothing…

It has been just under three months since Willow and I arrived in Hobart to pick up our new van and that means that the deadline for our mainland return is approaching. With the van complete… liveable and ready for adventure we spent the weekend saying goodbye to friends before hitting the Tasman Highway for…

In the 5 weeks that I’ve been building our new van there has been one thing worrying me. Willow was so attached to our old van. It was her entire world and I took that away. What if she doesn’t like the new van? Nearly every day since picking up the van in November I…

It has been nearly 3 weeks since we left Steph in Brisbane. Willow and I arrived in Hobart safely about 10 days ago and I have been busy starting the build on our new campervan home. We are very lucky to be able to park it at my brother’s house and use his workshop. It’s…

It has been 2 days since we left the city and we are now 800km along our ~2500km route. We have found a quiet place to rest for the day between Narrabri and Gilgandra on the Newell Highway. But where are we going? Those of you who have followed our travels over the years will…

Today, we are resharing a video we made last year. It’s all about how we left everything behind to chase a dream. I used to have everything. I had a career. I had a house in the suburbs full of things. A garden. But there was one thing I didn’t have – happiness. So, in…

The information and events presented in this article have not been fact-checked. It’s the year 1989 and in a dimly lit office at the headquarters of Swiss nuclear research organisation, CERN, a telecommunications engineer is putting the finishing touches on his latest project proposal. A proposal that would change the lives of feline owners and…

It was our first night in St George and the outback was putting on a show – another glorious sunset. I dragged the bench from the van outside so we could have a comfy seat to watch it from. We had arrived to a camp on the outskirts of town just an hour before and…
