Visiting Albany, Denmark and Bremer Bay

I’m sure you have all been worried sick about Steve’s drone controller situation and don’t worry, so was he, but we have good news! Driving, two days into our time in Albany, we got a phone call from a truck driver who had found the controller on the side of the road. Even better, it…

Back on the road! (And Esperance)

After what has seemed like a long time coming, it was time to start our second lap for real! This time with Alfie and the tinnie in tow. We had spent almost 2 months in Adelaide and it was a weird feeling to say goodbye again. We were packed and ready to hit the road,…

Travelling Japan part 1

The time had come for our delayed honeymoon to Japan! Steve’s uncles who unfortunately could not make the journey for our wedding provided money towards an overseas honeymoon and we chose Japan! The start of the holiday was not without complications. Arriving at our stopover in Cairns we were informed that our checked baggage had…

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

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 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…
