We are just a regular Australian couple, married for over 30 years with two young adult boys. We are making the most of our lives by maximising our travel opportunities before retirement! Many people think they need to wait until retirement or until they win lotto! Unfortuntely, things don’t always go to plan. We are making sure we see our fair share of this country now. We have always traveled more than most while working, taking advantage of long weekends and sneaking in an extra day’s leave here and there. 

In August 2018 we both resigned from our jobs to take a “gap year or 2” We have been on the road since then, and hope to extend our “gap year or 2” for as long as possible! 

We love the red Outback, country pubs, Aussie rivers, vibrant sunsets, waterfalls, campfires, stargazing and following that secluded bush trail either on foot or in the 4WD. Then of course, there is the Coast! How glorious is it to stroll our Australian coast line, spotting whales, exploring rock pools or splashing in the waves! If you enjoy all those things too, you will just love our adventures! Hope to see you out there!

Why did we leave Victoria? 2026/12
We intend to visit some lovely free and low cost Victorian campsites. Greens Lake Free camp was where we make a quick, emotional decision to leave the state to go back to NSW. Find out why. It leads to such indecision about other travel plans as we deal with choices regarding our travel route and the current fuel crisis!

Happy Campers Australia
The Uranquinty Water Tank Art was painted by artist Damien Mitchell in February 2023. The mural depicts Aboriginal fighter pilot Len Waters, Australian Wirriway Aircraft, female mechanics working on an engine and the local barracks used during WW2. Well done Damien 👍.#caravanandcampingaustralia #caravanlifeaustralia #travelphotography #dronephotography #australiansiloart ... See MoreSee Less
