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!

Betoota to Windorah. Outback QLD. 2026/34
We leave Birdsville after being rained in for a week and head East. The roads are muddy and slippery on our way to the Betoota Hotel. Betoota was a ghost town not too long ago, but the hotel was purchased and reopened in 2019, so now Betoota has a population of 2! We enjoy the country hospitality with a communal fire, group dinner in the dining room, and camping overnight on the red soil. We then continue to Windorah stopping at historic places along the way. The free riverside camp at Windorah was not as wet as we expected, so we stayed a few nights to enjoy the birdlife and beautiful sunsets.
