How we ended up with our tow vehicle

November 10, 2019

Essential Resources for Road Schooling

March 18, 2019

Travelling with school aged children poses the question of how to tackle schooling on the road. The kids want learning to be fun (and quick!). I have a secret key to making it a great experience for everyone involved…keep it simple, and have the right resources on hand! Having resources on hand that have more than one use, makes life easy (as they say, everything in a caravan needs more than one use). That’s why we’ve compiled a list of

13 things you need to consider when planning a lap of Australia

January 14, 2019

Let’s do the big lap of Australia. Let’s make the decision. It’s a conversation starter, that’s for sure. What kind of lap? Are you going to go around clockwise, anti-clockwise or maybe a figure 8? Lapping Australia is definitely a big hairy goal, and there really is so much to see.
