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…

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
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…

Photo of the week #11
Another waterfall photo as our pic of the week! This was taken at Maguk waterfall in Kakadu National Park after we had taken a quick dip in the water. We were a little nervous at the thought of freshwater crocodiles, but still took the plunge! I really like this photo as Lauren looks like she’s…

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…

Photo of the week #10
Apologies for missing more than a few weeks, can’t promise it won’t happen again though! But, hopefully you enjoy this capture from our time spent in the Northern Territory. I like this photo as it captures the joy we feel every time we finish a bush walk and it ends in a waterfall or swimming…

The Pilbara, WA
Heading back to the coast, we were getting closer and closer to what Lauren’s Dad refers to as, ‘Gods Country’ and with that support, we entered the Pilbara region of WA. On the way up, we dropped into the fishing town of Onslow and we were pleasantly surprised. In WA especially, you can always tell…

Karijini, WA
It was time to head inland after almost a month on the coast and we were excited, as we had heard good things about Karijini National Park! Leaving Exmouth, we missed out on staying at the renowned Buralla Station, as it was fully booked. This turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as there…

Exmouth, WA
Given our dwindling supplies, we though it might be a good idea to check into the renowned holiday town of Exmouth to resupply. Exmouth is an interesting town, we thought that it would be much larger and more built up than it is, but it’s kind of good that it hasn’t and still retains its…

Ningaloo Station, WA
Driving through Coral Bay on our way up to the campsites on Ningaloo Station, we were reminded why we didn’t spend $65 a night for a shoebox unpowered site at the caravan park. Coral Bay was absolutely chockas and even more of a crime was the $8.80 packet of Tim Tams at the IGA… unaustralian…
