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!

Savannah Way. Part 4. Karumba
As our journey across The Savannah Way continues, we spend this episode in Karumba. Karumba is very much a fishing town, with huge barramundi being caught in the waters, but we don’t fish! We watch fishermen bring in their huge fish and Vicki gets a lesson in scaling them. There are two sunset cruise companies, and we try them both! The tours are both different and we loved each of them. One taking us to a secret sand island, the other focusing on wildlife spotting, and both gave us food and alcohol! We also show you around town, do some walks and sightseeing. We loved our time in Karumba, we hope you enjoy it too!
