This year our boys Awards Night was on the 1st December. It just so happened that my parents were down here for a few days around the same time, so they were able to attend. This year was one of the best awards nights we have had. The service seemed to go a bit quicker, but they had more awards to give out than they usually do. Our boys really loved the food afterwards. This year there were packets of chips, a big chocolate mud ...

Life on a Farm

Towards the end of our trip around Australia, we had to start looking into where we were going to live when we arrived back to the Gold Coast. We were able to get a long term spot at a caravan park on the more southern end of the Gold Coast. The only catch was we had to be here by a certain date or we lost the spot. This meant that we had to cut our holiday short to get here on time. On arriving at this caravan park, the site was not ready, so ...
My Monopoly: Lap of Oz
This post make contain affiliate links. Please read my full disclosure policy.
After having such an amazing adventure, I was looking at ways to keep some memories of our trip when I came across this My Monopoly Boardgame. I can't remember exactly where I purchased it from, I'm pretty sure it was a Big W or Kmart and it was on sale for $10. Our boys love playing boardgames, especially on those cold, rainy days when you are pretty much locked up in the van with no solar. Monopoly is one of their favourite games, ...

Recently we visited The Golf Spot, Queensland's First Indoor Golf Centre. Located in Salisbury, Brisbane, our boys really enjoyed the variety of activities as well as being able to 'play' over 100 of golf courses from around the world. On arriving, we were shown how to operate the system. R and hubby were set up to play the St. Andrews course in one of the ...
‘The Dish’ at Parkes

While on our way to pick up our caravan from Melbourne, we stopped in at The CSIRO radio telescope, otherwise known as ‘The Dish’ that is situated 20km north of the NSW town of Parkes. The Parkes Observatory Visitors Centre has free admission and is a great place to watch the dish move. While we were there, we were able to see the Dish move twice: once on arrival and once as we were about to leave. In the Observatory there are many ...
Picking up Our Caravan

When it finally came time to pick up our caravan, we were all really excited. After spending a week emptying and cleaning our house, we packed our car and left, heading for Melbourne. The first night, we drove all the way from the Gold Coast to Dubbo. We stayed in a budget motel for the night which was an experience. This is only the second time we have used budget motel accommodation and are still not used to the term budget. When they say ...
Purchasing Our Caravan
This post make contain affiliate links. Please read my full disclosure policy.
When buying a caravan, it is always a good idea to do some research. It is a great idea to look through as many as you can, to get an idea of what you would like to have in your van and the layout that works best for you. When building a custom caravan, it is all the more important. Make sure you take the time to sit down and really work through everything. Write out a list of everything you would like in the caravan and then, if you need ...
