It was great not to have to pack up and drive anywhere today and we probably do need to try and do less driving each week so we can have longer stay stints. Hopefully it will also help with the car passenger dramas we’ve been experiencing! Scarly was so excited to have a playground a…

This morning the whole girl gang went for a walk through the area to explore a bit more and to most importantly hunt for coffee! The road out of Cobbold Gorge was very dusty and rather rough, so it took a long time to get back on the Savannah way. We decided to stop in Georgetown…
-
The girls were up early to squeeze maximum playtime with their friends in before we had to drive to the next destination today. It was noticeably cooler also away from the coast and some 1,000 south of the Cape. So all the jumpers and longs came out – finally, as we have been lugging them…

Izzy and Scarly both seemed sniffly this morning, so we made sure to rug up and hopefully this cold weather doesn’t claim too many victims! It’s been nice having a break from the usual school & daycare-related sniffles and germs. Jazzy desperately wanted to check out the park next to the lake so we headed there at…

It was a beautiful sunrise this morning and Scarly and I enjoyed the views and even a little rainbow cluster in the sky. The temperatures felt arctic this morning so everyone was rugged up as we had breakfast and packed up. Setting up and packing down for 1 night stays is rather draining, I won’t lie. How I look…

We packed up early before the rain set in too much and headed off for another long day on the road. Scarlett started the day with another screaming special and by 9am we were all exhausted to be honest. For all the educators or anyone with experience of driving 2 year olds for long distances, please send…

There was a severe weather event heading up towards the tip, so we decided to try and get out from Cape York Peninsula sooner rather than later. This also meant we had to skip the Eastern coast sites like Chilli beach and Lockhart River as winds blowing on that side make for a very unpleasant…
-
There were a few dusty heads around this morning as the guys recovered from celebrating Oscar’s birthday a bit too hard… We finally had a day to chill and relax and we did just that! Eventually we decided to go for a drive to Somerset beach from where you can get a boat across to…
-
There were no horses roaming in our camp last night and we weren’t in a particular hurry either. It’s always easier when you have extra time to pack up camp and everyone is relaxed and therefore happy. Once we were on the road it was an enjoyable trip with some beautiful scenery along the way.…

It was hard to wake up this morning A) because we had an early start and B) because a wild horse that loves roaming around Loyalty Beach campground had gotten under our awning during the night and had woken me with its noisy banging. We had to yell out to shoo it away, but I…

I don’t think this morning’s view could have been much better, what a stunning place! It felt like we were waking up in paradise… the girls loved running out onto the beach and finding lots of beautiful shells and coral in the sand. Then we enjoyed breakfast with a view and our neighbours (the same…
-
Everyone had a surprisingly good and long sleep on the side of the road. We got the van packed up and jumped in the car to check out Elliot and Twin falls. The road was very washed out in parts and I’m so happy we didn’t take the van down there… We got to the…
-
It was a rushed start to the day as we needed to be on the road early and get as much driving done as we could. The girls got one last play to stretch their legs though, always keen for a playground play. With full fridges, water tanks and batteries we are ready to make our…
-
The morning brought more fighting, tantrums and feelings of desperation for adults and kids alike. It really can be so hard when you are constantly in each other’s space and there are limited options for time away from each other and space to breathe. Definitely something to work on for all of us! We tried…
-
We weren’t in too much of a rush today, as we knew we just had a huge day of driving ahead of us with not much to see or do along the way. The girls loved having friends to play with again and it was a nice sunny day – almost too hot actually! As…
