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!

Camp for a Cure 2026 - through the eyes of volunteers 2026/18
We volunteer to help at Camp for a Cure. Held at Gootchie Creek Escape. This is an awesome fundraiser for Love Your Sister, hosted by Erin & Alex from Now or Never (YouTube, FB & Insta) We show you behind the scenes with set up, and the jobs we have during the event. There are lots of fun activities to raise funds in between the musical entertainment. We have a session on the “Creator Stage” with a Q&A, and we sign the canvas to be auctioned on the final night. We had so much fun. After watching you will be wanting to add this event to your “must attend” list next time.
