VANLIFE ADVENTURES BEGIN
The van build project is complete and now it's time to start our lap of Australia! The plan is to take my time, work remotely along the way and discover all the hidden gems of our stunning country.
We'll be sticking to the East Coast over the summer months, before continuing the journey south toward Victoria, Tasmania, SA and WA, finishing up in the NT and Tropical North Queensland for next years' dry season.
My German Shepherd pup, Alaska, will be joining the adventure. We've specially designed the van to have a second pull out bed for her. She's a seasoned traveller, having already lived in some of the most remote parts of the country and enjoying plenty of camping adventures in the swag 🐾

The van build journey took around 13 weeks.
I then drove the van back home to Cairns, QLD to set it up with all the gear, pack up my rental and get ready for van life adventures to begin.
The adventure begins!
Travelled from Cairns to southern Queensland and northern New South Wales.
Highlights along the way were Double Island Point and Caloundra in QLD, then Iluka and Camden Head in NSW.
Quick break from van life to travel through Ireland and Norway.
Home in time for Christmas!
We'll be hanging around the east coast for the summer, travelling between Queensland and New South Wales. Bring on plenty of beach time!
We'll head south, Victoria (and maybe Tassie), before headed west toward South Australia, Western Australia and up to the Northern Territory.
