So many beautiful pictures from Point Lonsdale, I don’t know where to start! We drove down to the lighthouse and walked around the point. The landscape is amazing. The first thing we saw was the gorgeous old pier. Check it out on the map! See the pier? We walked down the beach toward the lighthouse, then around the point. You can see from the map above that when you round the point (right behind these rocks) you are no … Read More
Before we took off in our caravan after the holidays, there was a massive rainstorm in our town. In less than an hour we had soooo much rain. Our toddler had never gotten out of the caravan on his own before. He chose that afternoon, with all those irresistible puddles, for his first escape from the van. He was so proud of himself. He’s taken to stealing the car keys as well! A true escape is in the works, I’m … Read More
After three weeks at home for the holidays, we were more than ready to get back on the road! The kids are seasoned travellers now. The little guy (rubbing his eyes in the picture below) didn’t even make it out of the yard before he was asleep in the car. The others had their backpacks and pillows all ready to go. First stop: Shepparton, Victoria! More posts coming soon!

We decided to spend nearly a week here, in a familiar place, to just relax, hit the beach, and adjust to life on the road. This lifestyle is a big adjustment and we needed time to settle in a bit. As soon as we got there the kids were begging to go to the beach. Little did they know it would be so windy and cold! We … Read More
After we had our van fixed in Melbourne we drove to a free camp at Lake Colac. It was a nice camp right on the edge of the lake. The first of many beautiful sunsets we’ll see on the road! The lake edge was full of tall grasses and I was warned there had been a snake sighting. So to get to the water the kids rode their scooters down to the boat ramp and played there. We found this … Read More
