‘Yes mum. I’ve rinsed my feet in the bucket. YES! I’ve wiped them on the towel too.’ I shook my head, laughing a little as I walked inside.

We needed a ‘home base’ as we are now full time travellers. All I have to say about these pics is ... it sure feels good to be home! 😁♥️💦🙌🏼
The @big4goldcoast is where we call home these days and it didn’t take long for us to settle back in after being gone for a the past 4 months! ☺️
Its great to be back here with all the amazing staff - and to see the work that’s been done! The new cafe area, basketball court is about to be poured and a ‘fun house’ has been built too! LOVE. THIS. PLACE. ♥️♥️♥️

So - we took a few selfies today 😅 We spent the day exploring South West Rocks with Matt & Jess starting with a coffee and a stroll along the beach at Horseshoe Bay. From there we checked out Trial Bay Gaol, Smoky Cape Lighthouse, went for a drive along the beach before heading back to the vans for some fish and chips.
After lunch we took the tinny out on the river. Matt was keen to open it up but the tide was all kinds of wrong!
It was an awesome day spent with mates that’s only going to get better as now we are about to head out for a pub meal.
Now THIS is the #explorelife 😁🤙🏼

Our very last sunrise in Tasmania for this trip!
We still have so many more pics and videos of our Tassie adventures, and as I get around to editing them we will share them 🥰
It’s been a whirlwind and time has flown by far too quickly. I miss my parents already am counting down the days until we will be meeting up with them to collect their new @titaniumcaravans !
We’ve had some epic times here and even though it was nearly 3 months, there’s so much left to see. We will be back ... hopefully soon! ♥️
Time to head back to the mainland and to the Great Ocean Road for our Titanium owners get together this weekend 😍

Barely the day started and it's already six in the evening.
Barely arrived on Monday and it's already Friday.
... and the month is already over.
... and the year is almost over.
... and already 40, 50 or 60 years of our lives have passed.
... and we realize that we lost our parents, friends.
and we realize it's too late to go back...
So ... let's try, despite everything, to enjoy the remaining time.
Let's keep looking for activities that we like...
Let's put some color in our grey...
Let's smile at the little things in life that put balm in our hearts.
And despite everything, we must continue to enjoy with serenity this time we have left. Let's try to eliminate the afters...
I'm doing it after...
I'll say after...
I'll think about it after...
We leave everything for later as if ′after′ is ours.
Because what we don't understand is that:
Afterwards, the coffee gets cold...
Afterwards, priorities change...
Afterwards, the charm is broken...
Afterwards, health passes...
Afterwards, the kids grow up...
Afterwards parents get old...
Afterwards, promises are forgotten...
Afterwards, the day becomes the night...
Afterwards life ends...
And then it's often too late....
So - let's leave nothing for later.
Because while waiting for later, we can lose the best moments,
the best experiences,
best friends,
the best family.
The day is today.
The moment is now.
I saw this and feel it is so true and wanted to share. Words by Caitriona Loughrey
Chris snapped this pic this arvo ... isn’t it beautiful? 🥰

You don’t see amazing places like this unless you make the decision to go and find amazing places like this! ☺️
We pinch ourselves everyday - are we REALLY living our dream? The one we’ve worked so hard to realise? Yes. Yes we are! 🙌🏼
Are you where you want to be? Are your views the ones you want to be soaking in? Are the memories you’re making the ones you want stored in your memory bank for a lifetime? If not, maybe it’s time to make that decision 🤷🏼♀️😁
Let us know - what are your dreams? Are you living them, working towards them or still dreaming them? 👇🏼👇🏼

The Little Blue Lake is every bit as beautiful & blue in person as it is in all the pics we’ve seen! 🥰
I’d never heard of it when I lived in Tassie but thanks to Instagram I’ve been waiting to see it for a few years now - we finally got there yesterday! ♥️

Mt Paris Dam ... another little-known, hidden part of Tassie’s history that we’ve been lucky enough to explore 🥰
With the dam now empty, remnants lying all around and the Cascade River running right through the middle of the wall, it is an enchanting place to explore 🧚
This place really is hidden, and can be a bit tricky to find! We came through Welborough (east) as we’d been to Little Blue Lake just before, but you can also come through Branxholme (west). It’s about 10 minutes from Derby.
You will travel along Mt Paris Dam Road (watch out for the log trucks!) which is an unsealed forestry road, wide and not bad to drive on at all. When you see the 11km sign, 2 yellow posts and yellow spray paint on a tree, turn right. You don’t have to drive far before you will find yourself in the ‘car park’ and some large concrete - possibly walls - lying about.
From here it’s a short walk either over the wall and down the path or straight down the wider ‘road’. Which route you taken will determine what you see - and as we went over the wall and down the path, we arrived at a massive wall with a hole in the middle that we walked right through and to the magical oasis on the other side😍
Think fern trees, waterfalls, rock pools and lush green rain forest. Pure magic! ✨

Petal Point, Cape Portland was our (awesome) free campground and Tassie’s largest windfarm was on the list of things to see while we were in the area 😁
Musselroe Windfarm is up on the North East Coast of Tasmania and is impressive with its 56 turbines pumping out 168MW 😯
The information centre was a great - filled with info about the indigenous heritage & history of the local area and a separate room had a timeline with pictures of the development of the farm. Lots of my questions were answered in that one room including how long the blades are (44m in case you were wondering!) 👍🏼 There is a blade near the car park that you can touch, measure and tap to find it what it’s made of (fibreglass apparently!)
The working turbine right next to the car park is incredible and the loud whooshing sound it makes as the turbines spin is pretty impressive!
This place well worth a visit, even with the drive being along dirt roads. The info centre is open 8am-4pm October - March & Fri-Mon 10am-3pm April-September.

Have you ever driven through Derby (Tasmania) and seen this colourful rock trout staring down at you?
We have ... but it’s the first time we’ve seen it up this close! Troutys is a double black diamond trail that we did yesterday ... I say ‘we’ but what I mean is - Chris rode both of our bikes down the crazy bits (yep - meaning he had to walk back up them!) and I scrambled and slid my way down with a Gopro in my mouth 🤣

These next few days will be spent here on the East Coast while I (Miriam) edit the next YouTube episode (launching next week!) and hopefully, if the weather clears up, Chris gets to test out his new JS Blackbox 3! 🏄♂️
It’s been drizzly and blowing a gale today - perfect weather to be cozied up editing 😁
Chris has been doing a little bit of house work, he made lunch ... and now he’s bored, watching and praying for surf. 🌊 He’s like a kid at Christmas just waiting to unzip his (new) board bag 🎁🤣

Our first sunrise from the new @alucab rooftop tent didn’t disappoint 😍 We couldn’t think of a better place to watch the sun come up than right here at Trial Harbour on Tassie’s West Coast 😁🙌🏼 It feels so good to be back on top! 👊🏼

The rugged West Coast of Tasmania delivers yet again. Who knows this track and have you driven/ridden it?😁
We’ll be back with our eMTB’s in tow! 😁👊🏼

Tassies scenery is hard to describe, and equally as hard to capture - but we will keep trying! 😁
Describe your favourite part of Tassie if you’ve been, and if you haven’t been, where would you like to see most? 👀👇🏼👇🏼
*disclaimer - this is one of the few parts of Tasmania that you are allowed to put the drone up. We are always respectful of the no drone zones and jump at the opportunity to snap an aerial pic or two when we (legally) can 😁👊🏼

Today on our travels we casually stopped by the Geographical Centre of Tasmania😁👊🏼
📍Lyell Highway, Central Highlands. Tasmania
Can you spot our truck & van on top of the world? 🧐👍🏼
Right here at Trig Point 715, this monument was erected in 1983 by Members of the Institution of Surveyors (Australian Tasmanian Division) to commemorate the early surveyors who explored and mapped Tasmania. It’s right near the geographical centre of Tasmania and was designed to be just like a cairn that was erected by James Sprit on Mount La Perouse during his trigonometrical survey in 1833-35. There was lots of info here and a crazy map we had no chance of understanding 🤪

Today was yet another day jam packed with insanely awesome scenery!
Southwest Tasmania feels like we are on another planet 👽
📍This pic was snapped at Teds Beach - which happens to be an awesome campsite right on Lake Peddar just 4km from Strathgordon (check it out on @wikicamps if you want to know more)😁
Tassie - you’ve blown us away yet again 👊🏼

We did the epic 16km South Cape Walk from Cockle Creek to South Cape Bay and it was epic! 😁
This is along the most southern tip of Tasmania's South-West National Park👊🏼
The walk was super rocky, a little muddy, steep, flat, partly boardwalk, very overgrown, and all-round good fun. The views at the end were well worth it! 😍
Stay tuned for our YouTube video (when I get around to editing it! 😅)
📍 South Cape Bay, Tasmania

So ... we didn’t quite make it to Cockle Creek! 😅 We found this awesome free camp on @wikicamps opposite the @longleyinternational and have parked up here for the night. What a top spot! The van is parked up right opposite this gem of a hotel. 😁🙌🏼

It feels so good to have the sunlight on our faces after soooo much rain and cold weather! ☀️😁We thought we’d celebrate with dinner at @thewharfbarandkitchen and a wander around the pier 🥰 Thanks for a great arvo St Helens! 🙌🏼

‘It is rare in the world to find such a powerful place as the Leven Canyon, that is so easy to access.’
We’ve heard quite a bit about the Leven Canyon, Gunns Plains and the caves ... so after we finished work, when the sky turned from grey to blue - we jumped in the Chev and headed south to the Leven Canyon National Reserve.
We had a late lunch (3:30pm!) and started the walk just before 4:00.
Edge Lookout was pretty speccy but Cruikshank Lookout was incredible! We walked up 50 million steps (yep, that many!!) and out to the edge of a 250m ravine that's part of a wildlife corridor that runs from the coast to Cradle Mountain.
Wow. Just wow. What a great start to our Tassie adventure - and this one was super easy to get to - no 4x4 necessary. Just good walking shoes. (Yep - we did it in thongs 🤦🏼♀️)

After a looooong day (8 hours!) the @alucab rooftop and canopy is on 🙌🏼
We have really missed having the rooftop tent since we sold the Hilux ... it’s not just a tent, it’s a lifestyle! Simple, comfortable and the best way to escape. It gets us to places we simply can’t take the caravan ... it’s our high-set home away from our home on wheels 😁
A huge thank to @ironman4x4 for the awesome install 👊🏼

We are beyond happy with how the canopy has turned out - it’s insane! 😁🙌🏼
We had celebratory drinks and a tasty platter with the @gcitraytec boys who made it all happen! 🍻
Thanks to Nibbles Cafe here at the @big4goldcoast for our boootiful platter! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Let’s hit it! 🙌🏼 This time next week we will be heading south to start our adventures as full time travellers.
It’s been a long, hard and very frustrating two years and we want to thank everyone for sticking by us 🙏🏼
We’ve had to pull back, regather and reassess absolutely everything to make this all happen!
Our original date of full time travel was meant to be mid-late next year! So we’ve certainly sped things up 😅
We want to apologise for the lack of posts, YouTube videos, blogs, travel destinations and all the other fun stuff you no doubt followed us for in the first place - but we promise things will be up and back to better then ever before very soon! 😁
It’s been a mammoth effort from everyone involved in this Chev build and we can’t wait to get out there and show it off! The big ‘reveal’ will be happening tomorrow at the @blackbeartyres_australia shindig - so be sure to make the effort to get over there to Blackbear Tyres HQ and say g’day not only to us but to all the other legends who will be there. 👋🏼
Bring on the next adventure! 😁👊🏼

Family fun in the sun! ☀️💦
Our travel journey started many years ago with our (3 younger) kids traipsing all over the countryside with us - they loved it and we loved having them with us!
These days they’re older, and 2 of them already have jobs and all three are working hard at school to hit goals they’ve set. We are so proud of these kids and will miss them terribly when we go. But - we’re already planning their first flights to visit us in Tassie - and we will be back up in Brissy in March for the the Chev to be on display at the National 4x4 Show. 🥰 They’ll be flying to us and we’ll be flying back to them ✈️
We are so blessed to have such great kids who are our number one supporters when it comes to us following our dreams - and allowing them to follow theirs.
Who knows, one day when they’re older they might buy their own 4x4’s and join us on the road! 😁👊🏼

Today we have been videoing and photographing Chris’s sisters wedding. 📹♥️
It wasn’t until right before we came into the reception that I realised we didn’t have a single shot of us! So ... we snapped this one 💋 📸
We don’t scrub up too bad for a couple of bums in a caravan 😅
What do you think?

Finally ... something has been done to the Chev! 😅 It’s been a long time coming and this @gcitraytec alloy tray is just the first HUGE mod of many happening over the next few weeks 👌🏼
What do you think? Sexy beast or what?! 😍😍😍
