    A Little Slice Of Evan With Willow

    Along the New South Wales North coast there still exists today sleepy seaside towns forgotten by those who zoom past on the M1. Those who stray off the motorway, even for just a short while, are rewarded with untouched stretches of coastline and most of all, peace and quiet. One of those such towns is…

    Greetings from Ballina!

    There’s a lot of big things in Australia and the prawn behind us is no exception! But, this is a story in two parts. The head was built in 1989 and placed atop a service station. There it sat for 20 years until the service station closed down and the local council voted for its demolition.…

  • Another border crossing, QLD to NSW!

    Another border crossing, QLD to NSW!

    Steph, Willow, and I have done a lot of border crossings in our time travelling together, but none were more monumental than this one last week. Not only does it commemorate the end of our time based in Queensland, but also the adventure that awaits in NSW. However, the fact that we are able to…

  • We Nearly Didn’t Make It Out Of Brisbane

    We Nearly Didn’t Make It Out Of Brisbane

    In our last story I talked of our upcoming departure from Brisbane with an air of sentimentality. I reminisced about the early days of our van life adventure and spoke of the things we looked forward to in life returning to the road. Though as it seems, I may have been holding onto those notions…

  • Willow plays her hand

    Willow plays her hand

    I just had to share with you this pic we snapped last night of Willow interrupting our game of cards. She was clearly unhappy that the focus wasn’t on her so decided to plop herself down in the middle of the table. After a few pats from Steph she settled on the chair next to us…

  • Leaving It All Behind.. Again

    Leaving It All Behind.. Again

    What would happen if you left it all behind? Sold all your possessions, sold your house and clothes, and quit your job? What would you be left with? These are the questions I asked myself back in 2014-15 before doing exactly that. As the rooms in my house emptied and I started building a campervan…

    Willow’s Yearly Service And Oil Change

    When was the last time you got your car serviced? I’m hoping it wasn’t too long ago! As we count down the days to when we leave Brisbane and head South for summer there have been a few jobs on my list in preparation. One of which is getting our campervan checked over and paying…

    Nathan And Winnie – The Catfish In The Forest

    What would happen if those around you saw your every potential? What if they discarded every notion of what is, and asked themselves – what could be? This is a story of two cats who have experienced exactly that, and today we get to meet them. I first heard about Nathan in 2017 when she…

  • Meet Himalayan Pierre – The Cat Turning Heads On The Gold Coast

    Meet Himalayan Pierre – The Cat Turning Heads On The Gold Coast

    It’s Sunday afternoon and I’m standing on the beach. I’m at the Southern end of the Gold Coast at Burleigh Heads. Looking North, the high rise extends for as far as the eye can see, as if to dare stand up to the power of the Pacific Ocean, and it is along that line that…
