For years I’ve been looking at Kangaroo Island in magazine and online “top list” articles. It looked absolutely stunning and untouched, and I promised myself that I’d get there one day. On one of the rare occasions on this trip we decided to pre plan a few weeks ahead due to a long weekend. Much... Continue Reading →

Three months on the road and a little over 8,000km’s in we’re still very much flying the “rookie” flag. But there’s also a heap of things three months on the road has taught us. Overall I would definitely say the biggest thing we’ve learnt is that it’s harder work than what we thought. While we... Continue Reading →

FROM LIANA: We packed up and prepared for a long drive to our next stop – a whole hour and ten minutes further down the road. Daniel is wanting to make it to Melbourne by the end of April and is worried that we aren’t making enough ground to get there by that time. I... Continue Reading →

FROM LIANA: After a two-week holiday from the holiday between stopping off in Sydney and our trip to New Zealand, we were itching to get back on the road. As always, the stuff that we unpacked in Sydney seemed to have multiplied, so after another marathon repacking effort which ended with holding stuff in while... Continue Reading →

After a month on the road in confined quarters we hit our limit. We needed a holiday from the holiday. While both those things are completely true, we had booked to do the Milford Track almost a year ago before our Big Lap of Oz became a reality. Anyone familiar with the Milford Track is...
