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!

Manildra, NSW. A little town with so much to offer. 2026/5
We stay at Manildra Showground in Central Western NSW, with Parkes to the East and Orange to the West. We explore the area for several days finding lots of tourist treasures! From beautiful lakes, caves, explorers landmarks & graves, and even an “animals on bikes” trail! We also discover a story not many of us know about, of British orphans who made Australia their home in Fairbridge Farm School. This is an area tourists often bypass, and we hope to highlight the beauty, humour and intrigue in this part of NSW.
