Dealing with ending travelling
First off, I should start by saying I’m no psychologist, but as we have found settling down after travelling for a year quite challenging, we thought people might learn from our experiences and know they’re not alone. So, if you haven’t been here from the beginning we travelled around Australia for almost an entire year,…

Hervey Bay Life Update
So, it has been a minute since we last posted on here! Just thought we could do a little update on what has been happening in our TripRoundUnder lives. We last left you exiting Townsville in the middle of a storm, on the way to Hervey Bay in South East Queensland, where Lauren had an…

North Queensland
Arriving back in Australia from Bali, Steve had mostly recovered from his Bali Belly ordeal, but we were about to face our next challenge. Money or lack there of! Steve’s family friend Becci was lovely enough to let us stay at her place for a little while longer and look after Noobi the greyhound while…

A Bali Trip
Given it had recently been both of our birthdays, we thought we deserved a holiday within the holiday! We had looked at a bunch of experiences and places to stay within Northern Australia, but prices continued to be obscenely expensive. So, we decided to do the classic Aussie thing and book flights to Bali and…

Visiting Litchfield National Park
Venturing out of the Kakadu wilderness, we were about to enter our first capital city in a while, Darwin. We didn’t know a great deal about the place, other than it was supposed to be hot and humid and it definitely lived up to its reputation! Driving into the city, you definitely felt the military…

Visiting Kakadu National Park
It was time to visit arguably Australia’s most famous National Park, Kakadu! Heading further North, we started to notice dry scrub turning into lush bushland and pockets of wetlands started to appear. In saying that, the heat outside continued to be scorching and we were looking forward to the waterfalls and waterholes ahead! Our first…

Visiting Katherine, NT
After a few weeks in the outback, it was a shock to the system to enter a larger town like Katherine and an even greater one to stop at traffic lights! Katherine was surprisingly a large and bustling place, but unsurprisingly bloody hot, with a weeks forecast of constant 40+ degree maximum temperatures… Beautiful! For…

A guide to the Gibb River Road, WA Part 2
Leaving Manning Gorge, we had a fateful decision to make. Do we take the track up to Mitchell Falls which would add three days onto our trip or continue down the main road to Ellenbrae Station… We had talked to a few travellers heading the opposite way and all of them had stories of blown…

A guide to the Gibb River Road, WA
It was finally time to put the troopy through its first extended off-road adventure, the renowned Gibb River Road. Our first tip for travelling the Gibb, is that if you are entering from the West, we advise stocking up in Broome rather than Derby. We took the second option and the Woolworths was very poorly…

Broome, WA
Back on the road after some amazing beach camping, we had a long drive ahead of us to Broome. The weather was getting hotter and hotter the further north we headed and after a sweaty day of driving, we decided accommodation with a shower was in order. We decided on an iconic Australian roadhouse in…
