One thing Willow needs to understand is that although she may be the star of my world, there are many other cats who have travelled Australia and she certainly wasn’t the first. So, whenever Willow becomes a little too high and mighty about our whole travelling around Australia thing, I pull out a certain little…

The thing about cats is that they always make us smile, whether they know it or not. Willow is no exception to this as she brings us limitless amounts of joy as we travel around Australia with her. Of course, peculiar nap spots are always a source of great amusement and on a recent visit…

As we set off to explore the Eyre Peninsula, South Australia we hadn’t any idea of where Steph and I might spend our third wedding anniversary. Fortunately, it didn’t really matter because we had everything we needed to celebrate in the van already. So when the day came around, we found ourselves on yet another…

This leg of our South Australian adventure saw us arrive on the Fleurieu Peninsula by ferry before finding ourselves at the stunning Rapid Bay for a few nights. We then headed North to catch up with some friends, before visiting a unique roadside cafe. Our arrival in Whyalla saw us finally on the Eyre Peninsula…

Although our trip up the south-east of South Australia was bit of a whirlwind tour, we visited some magical places before we received a warm welcome at the home of one of Willow’s top fans. After we passed the border into South Australia from Nelson, we spent the night near Port MacDonnell. West of the…

As we breezed up the south-east coast of South Australia, there was one town we just had to drop in on. Kingston SE is a seaside town of 1,600 residents and home to one of the most iconic of Australian tourist attractions. Since 1979, the 17 metre tall Larry the Lobster has delighted locals and…

It’s true. I couldn’t even count how many times Willow has crossed state lines over the past 8 years. Is it 20, 30? I’d have to get out a map and count them all, and there’s a lot. Willow is generally oblivious to the situation as she sleeps in the back of the van, unless,…

As I was rummaging around a garage sale in West Hobart back in 2011, I found the most delightful painting of some sailboats. I’d recently moved house and thought it would be the perfect addition to a wall in the living room, and after some negotiation paid $80 for it. Now, I don’t know anything…

On this particular day, we were camped at the Recreation Ground at Panmure, a small town of just a shop, a pub, and 424 people. It was early morning, and as I spent some time with Willow outside as she explored the footy oval, I had a quick scroll on Instagram which left me considering…

We’re finally here, I said to myself as we pulled up the van by the Surf Life Saving Club at Port Campbell. But, it wasn’t Port Campbell that I meant by here necessarily. We were here – the three of us. Steph, Willow, and I in the van together, living the life we set out…
