This blog is about two older Australians (well one is a kiwi who now considers himself half and half) who wanted to document their big trek around Aussie for relatives to follow our progress and help others who are planning a similar trip. We left on 31st January 2015 and got back home after around 16 months. We had an amazing time exploring this huge and fascinating country.

Join us as we both write about our experiences, review caravan parks, free camping sites, towns, events and the equipment and accessories we use in our van and tow vehicle. You can also view some of the hundreds of photos we took and this might help inspire you.

We have since downsized to a cute little ’94 Viscount poptop which we have extensively renovated and upgraded for free camping so we can have more adventures a little closer to home. There are plenty of magical places yet to see and we plan on seeing as many – and writing about – as we can.

Andy is in the process of writing some eBooks which will be available here soon for those who are getting ready to ‘do the big lap’ or just want some information on prepping their caravan or motorhome to get ready to ‘hit the road’.
