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!

Theresa Creek Dam & Pete’s Place. Two great low cost Queensland camps.
We discovered Pete’s Place when Charters Towers caravan parks were all full. Turned out better, we loved it here and at just $20 per night, much cheaper than the caravan parks in town. We then moved on to Theresa Creek dam, another $20 campsite with waterfront camping, beautiful wildlife, toilets, showers and even a cafe! We explore the nearby town of Clermont and learn about its 1916 flood, coal and copper mining history in the area. Sapphire and Rubyvale was another day trip from our dam campsite where we bought a bucket of dirt to try and find our fortune!
