24.01.2022 Perisher: Absolutely no tobogganing in the resort in 2020 Finn: Hold my apple juice...

20.01.2022 Glad I went to the trouble of washing his sheets so he’d have a nice fresh bed when we went away last week
19.01.2022 Have you had a chance to read the latest issue of Adventure Awaits? Lots of cravanning gold nuggets to be found inside. Grab a cuppa and check it out...
17.01.2022 #caravanningwithkids summed up in one photo We have been here literally 5 minutes...
17.01.2022 Just as we zipped the last suitcase shut for our Fiji trip - some 11 months in the making - this afternoon, the self-isolation measures for all travellers arriving in Australia were announced. While this in itself didn’t put us off, the rate at which things have changed over the past few days and the potential for change over the next 15 days we were due to be away was enough to, after much deliberation, and with the heaviest of hearts, postpone our planned trip. Cue hours an...d hours on hold waiting to speak to airlines, accommodation and the travel insurance that is only open Monday to Friday The disappointment is real and raw. There has been plenty of snot and slobber. The kids have been upset too...! But we count our blessings as we unpack our Fiji things into the van with the loose plan to head north in search of Fiji weather and snorkelling. We feel lucky. Sure you make your own luck, but we are bloody glad we have the made the luck that we have. Looking forward to spending some in NSW and QLD communities that could really use it, and can’t wait to get to Fiji later in the year to support the beautiful people that rely on tourism so much. Hope you are all taking care and doing what you can to ride out these crazy times.
16.01.2022 When it has been a big week of holiday fun but fishing is life... love his little finger still holding the line ready to feel a bite
14.01.2022 HAPPY BIRTHDAY BIG RED Facebook is telling me that we picked up Big Red 4 years ago today - wow - that has gone pretty bloody quickly. Have enjoyed so many adventures with our faithful companion hitched up behind us, and can’t wait for many more! These are photos from handover day. Can’t believe how little the kiddos were and how shiny Big Red is ... #newagecaravans #livingthedream #ourbiglap2017
12.01.2022 Had the best little weekend away at Shellharbour. The ocean front sites are as good as you can get and we managed to get some breaks in the weather to explore the rocks, swim in the ocean pool and of course hit up the awesome playground down in the village - all within 3 minutes of the van. Absolute highlight was waking up Saturday morning to a whale frolicking in so close to shore (can you spot it in the pics below?) I literally stayed in bed and watched the show!
12.01.2022 Who needs the QLD borders to be open when winter on the NSW south coast looks like this? First trip in the van since January and it was well worth the wait
11.01.2022 I keep seeing #wintercaravanning all over the socials but it seems these two did not get the memo! Another gorgeous few days away on the NSW south coast
11.01.2022 If we have to stay at home, then I am particularly glad that it is coinciding with the cooler weather. First campfire of the season today... many, many more to come! Here is a bit of #cracklecrackle to help you with your #iso #stayhome #staysafe #stopthespread
07.01.2022 A video, taken yesterday, that perfectly sums up our day today... pointless and amusing (because if you didn’t laugh you’d cry). Today we left Rockhampton bound for a week at Airlie Beach. Four hours into our drive the information about border closures and lockdowns started to filter through the wires and so we made the decision to turn back. So now we are back, after 9 hours on the road, where we started this morning We will be heading back into NSW tomorrow and making ou...r way home. We tried our best to have an awesome ‘Fiji’ holiday, but it wasn’t to be this time around. Shout out to Big4 Adventure Tourist Park Cannonvale for crediting our stay for use in the next 18 months - love a good excuse to have to hitch the van up and head north! Best of luck to everyone currently on the road with making changes to plans, and commiserations to everyone who has had their 2020 travel plans cancelled or postponed. Let’s hope all these measures being announced can get this bloody virus under control so we can get back to life as we knew it (and nothing like a crisis like this to show what an amazing life and lifestyle we have here in Australia!) Stay safe, stay healthy, only buy the things you need, and wash your hands
05.01.2022 Thank you Gold Coast Holiday Park for raising the caravan park bar and giving us a break from all the crazy going on at the moment. We’ll be back #notsponsored #justgrateful #awesomecaravanpark
03.01.2022 Ava prefers a more practical approach to napping in the boat
02.01.2022 Have been doing lots of backyard caravanning with campfires these past few months and I can definitely claim this as a talent - can anyone else relate? #smokefollowsbeauty #sotheysay #iwilltakeit
01.01.2022 It isn’t quite Fiji but waterslides, it would seem, help make everything better!
