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!

NSW Northern Snowy Mountains Region. 2026/13
After deciding to head to Queensland in our last episode, we changed our minds. The fuel situation had us confused, but with tickets to The Man From Snowy River Festival already purchased, we head South. We show you a great Free Camp at Yass, then spend several days around the Northern Snowy Mountains & Kosciusko National Park. We are excited to find the almost extinct Corroboree Frog, camp on the edge of Blowering Dam and visit Long Plain, Man from Snowy River country.
