    😺Story time! 😺Okay so call me a fool but I did it again last night. We had just settled into one of our favourite camps in the mangroves and finished our dinner when it was time to go for a little walk. I open the sliding door but I’m faced with the road under a…

    In summer the dash would be too hot to touch unless I put the sun shades up, but in winter it’s a lovely place to catch some rays when it’s cold outside. Willow knows that things are always changing and that where the sun once shone may no longer be. But that doesn’t seem to…

    That time we travelled along the 90 Mile Straight on our way into South Australia. The sides of the road were littered with car wrecks that didn’t quite make the journey. After long days driving we camped at some beautiful places over the Great Australian Bight.

    Very grateful for clear sunny days as we head deeper into winter. Will be stocking up on hot water bottles and maybe even an electric blanket when we go to town next! I have found that placing the cat in sun during the day for a few hours allows it to radiate that heat back…

    Parked at the beach on the edge of the mangroves, we had just finished dinner and it was time to go for a little walk. So I open the door to let Willow out and what I heard next both startled and confused me. Ka-splash!!! I look down and Willow is looking back up at…

    When Willow isn’t curled up on my bed she is sitting outside watching the world go by. At the end of the afternoon when it gets cooler she comes inside and makes herself cosy again in the van as I cook dinner.

    Two whole years on the road!

    In 2016 we celebrated a year on the road and I joked about how we had only made it as far as central Qld. Today, we celebrate two years and although we have put in some serious ‘kilometerage’ through the NT and WA completing our visit to every state, we have still not finished our…
