We are just a regular Australian couple, married for over 30 years with two young adult boys. We are making the most of our lives by maximising our travel opportunities before retirement! Many people think they need to wait until retirement or until they win lotto! Unfortuntely, things don’t always go to plan. We are making sure we see our fair share of this country now. We have always traveled more than most while working, taking advantage of long weekends and sneaking in an extra day’s leave here and there. 

In August 2018 we both resigned from our jobs to take a “gap year or 2” We have been on the road since then, and hope to extend our “gap year or 2” for as long as possible! 

We love the red Outback, country pubs, Aussie rivers, vibrant sunsets, waterfalls, campfires, stargazing and following that secluded bush trail either on foot or in the 4WD. Then of course, there is the Coast! How glorious is it to stroll our Australian coast line, spotting whales, exploring rock pools or splashing in the waves! If you enjoy all those things too, you will just love our adventures! Hope to see you out there!

Exploring Queenslands Hinchinbrook Way
We start in Townsville and experience the ongoing wet weather event, but we still get to walk along The Strand and take you to Jezzine Fort. We then move 90 minutes north and stay in a fantastic $15 RV camp. We use this as our base to explore the coastal towns of Forrest Beach, Taylor’s Beach and Lucinda. We take a drive to Cardwell, along the forest drive, and check out some amazing swimming holes. Then it’s a trip back to Ingham where we walk around Tyto Wetlands and take you to Australia’s longest single drop waterfall in flood!
There is lots to check out in this episode, and plenty of ideas to add to your list when doing the lap of Australia!
