Teewah Beach

We had heard so much about this place and really wanted to experience a bit of off grid beach camping. Needless to say we were a bit nervous about driving the new Van on the beach… but BOY it was worth it. Seriously what can I say… 4WD’ing, beach at your door step, fishing, perfectContinue reading “Teewah Beach”

Bagara / Bundaberg

The most northerly stop off on this leg of our Trip! We stayed in Bargara for 5 nights at the Bargara Beach Caravan Park. The patrolled beach was super close and the kids really enjoyed the surf. Archie is especially keen on the waves. Bundaberg Whats a trip to Bundaberg without this photo! We didn’tContinue reading “Bagara / Bundaberg”

Hervey Bay

So we headed a little further north to Hervey Bay after spending a great time at Aus Zoo. We spent three very humid days at the Pialba Tourist Caravan Park.

Gillards our most southerly stop on our NSW trip.

Potato Point/Narooma

South Coast of NSW is amazing and Narooma felt like the absolute pinnacle. Wow we were impressed.

We finished up ourContinue reading “Depot Beach Campground”

Day 1 – Tamworth to Mudgee

After much anticipation at 7am on the 21st Nov 2020, we finally set off. It was an early start, mainly as we were excited to get going. We have been packing and prepping for all week. I think it safe to say everyone was excited to leave (perhaps a little coaxing was required for Archie.)Continue reading “Day 1 – Tamworth to Mudgee”

The New Van (Gecko) has Arrived!

After COVID delays and Melbourne manufactures lock down (for 6 weeks) the van has finally arrived on the 24th October 2020. We have a week off to explore and get organised for our quick shakedown trip to Umina Beach – Gosford. The kids were ecstatic to say the least…Our travels are starting to feel likeContinue reading “The New Van (Gecko) has Arrived!”
