The morning pack up was heavily sped up for this today as it started raining quite a bit, so it was all systems go to get ourselves and our belongings out of the rain and into the van. Before we left, the girls wanted to see the green tree frog that had been hanging with…

It was so nice waking up to the sound of waves breaking on the shore, and it was a beautiful sunrise with a nice view of rhe coloured sands in the distance. We got ourselves together, packed a lunchbox and got ready for a big driving day as we had planned to head to the…

Happy 1 month on the road to us! I can’t believe how quickly time is going, but also how much we have done in 1 month. We finally had a break from van and dummy drama and set off to our first stop along the Cape York Peninsula – towards Elim Beach. Just to give…

We all woke up early this morning and had time around camp to relax, catch up on some work and homework. Then it was time for our Dreamtime tour at Mossman Gorge. We got there early and had a look around the art gallery before it was time to meet our guide. Unfortunately, 5 minutes…

Today started with yet more chores, including filling all the Jerry cans we have with additional diesel, partly to get good quality diesel from high traffic areas and partly to save some money. We’ve read stories of diesel being close to $3/l as you get up into Cape York Peninsula so $1.78/l seems like a…

Today was a day of chores and a bit of chilling thrown in. Chris had the car booked in for a service and I had a morning of work booked in at Cairns Hospital. So we got out early and had a convoluted system of dropping each other off so that we weren’t too far…

An early morning start with a purpose today! We were heading out to the Great Barrier Reef, the girls have been excited about this for days. Everyone had a quick brekkie, the essential caffeine fix for the adults and off we headed to Cairns Marina. There was a bit of waiting around between check in…

This morning was freezing! Which was an unusual change from recent weeks and not one we want to stick around… We packed up with the help of the girls. Jazzy has been loving washing up, so us adults are embracing this wave of enthusiasm 😉🤭 Before leaving the Atherton Tablelands we finally got to Malanda…

This morning was an early start for me as I had organised a training session for work with an incredible local mum, who is becoming an ambassador for Stem Cell Donors Australia. The best part of my job by far is meeting so many amazing people, many of whom seem to have found the most…

This morning brought a 6am start, which was extra challenging for some of our late night party people who went to bed far later than they should have and normally do… cue send all the coffee to get us through an emotional rollercoaster filled day! We were on the road by 6.45am heading to Undara National Park, and driving…

We had a good start to the morning with Jazzy feeling much better and a general happy vibe at camp! The girls wanted to explore the beach to see if they could find any cassowaries this morning so off we went in our pyjamas (because why not?) to go for a walk along the beach.…
-
Our little Jazzy wasn’t feeling great and had a very rough night (and us worried) with spiking a temp and feeling rather feverish at the same time. So it was all about rest and fluids for her while we packed up yet again (gosh these 1 night stays are killing me!). To soften the blow…

The Townsville heat really turned it on this morning, it was already boiling hot by 8am as we were packing up. The girls got to enjoy some pool time and practice their diving and underwater swimming. These fish would be happy to do a tour of all the pools in Australia without ever seeing anything else! We…
-
We had a lazy start to the day, including a nice walk on the beach with Jazzy while the others enjoyed a sleep in. After some breakfast on the beach – yes, I could do this every day! It was time to pack up yet again so that we could enjoy Bowen a little more…

The morning brought a lot of pain and suffering from all the sandfly bites the girls and I had all over our arms and legs. Now we thought 1770 was bad, but this was next level! People could easily think we have a much more sinister disease if we didn’t specify it was sandflies and…
