Victor Charlie Charlie.....it's departure day!! 🍾

Victor Charlie Charlie - alpha Sierra foxtrot.....on a bleak cold wet Ballarat morning it's finally departure day!!! 

Woo hooo! We limped over the finish line, extended by one day merely to save our sanity and are super pumped to finally be making this dream come true!! ❤️

So a massive thank you to everyone for all their love and good wishes this week - we were farewelled in style that's for sure 🍾🥂

Today we will head towards Gippsland, with a pit stop in Trafalgar to visit Shaz Kelly and then through to Sale!

See you in 5 months Ballarat!!! Roger that? Over and out 😂

CUT!! And thats a wrap folks......

SNAPSHOT  by Rana Well this is it folks! 2 years of planning, saving and preparing for this trip of a lifetime and in what seems to be a blink of an eye, it is all over - we arrived home feeling foreign, changed and started to contemplate how we could make sure that the experiences we had would hold meaning for us as a family..... Without a doubt this has been the most amazing, challenging, invigorating and confronting experience of our lives. W hat had begun as an opportunity to see all the corners of Australia, follow the waterways that are cradled by dry barren desert, luscious rainforests, golden beaches and to embed ourselves in its history and culture, slowly become a story about us as a family. We savored every moment of watching our children discover it all, and yet this trip soon revealed itself to be so so much more than even we expected....life is so fragile and yet we don't have any idea of the power we have in our own hands. We created two chi...

Round The Kookaburra 2017 | Back to Basics

It is April Fools Day 2016. We are going to travel Australia in a caravan for 5 months with our two daughters in 12 months time. This is no joke! I am not sure what we are thinking? Some part of me yearns for a simple life where working full time and juggling 5000 different commitments at one time is a distant memory….but part of me is scared shiteless. I know deep down that if this trip is going to be tough on anyone it will be me. Slightly OCD, ridiculously organised – I am definitely that person that isn’t always fun to go on holiday with….but aren’t all Mums the same? Whereas my family switch into holiday mode at the mere smell of a flight confirmation it takes me a week to wind down and savour the coconut cocktails. So who are we? Dad (Leigh) is a “so laid back he is horizontal” 47 year old, maker of fine chocolate and the yin to my yang, Mum is me Rana), a 40 year old, “self-confessed control freak kiwi”, education employee and mum to two girls, Olivia (10 years old, going on 1...

Week Three | The City Lights

Week Three The City Lights SNAPSHOT Travelling is like being a dog, well obviously not a dog but certainly dog years......one day is like seven days!! When the blog writing day comes around each week it only feels like yesterday I wrote the last one and it's hard reflect on how much we have actually achieved in a week - bizarre! This week has been a rollercoaster, we've found ourselves in places we would never dreamed of plotting on our map, thanked the lucky stars we made it alive through the Macquarie Pass (brakes now working - what a bonus!) and showed the girls the bright lights of Sydney (whilst also providing an educational tour of the perils and outcomes of drug usage 😉)..... WHERE ON EARTH ARE WE? Another big week but the palm trees are increasing and so is our opportunity to slow down!! Shellharbour This should read Kiama - however due to "someone" in our family insisting on detouring to the Don Bradman Museum 🙄 we ended up on...
