who we are and what drives us
We are Kieran and Amanda, a couple who have grown tired of the daily grind of working long hours in our respective fields. We have decided to take a leap of faith and embark on an adventure of a lifetime by quitting our jobs and hitting the road to explore the vast and beautiful land of Australia.
After much consideration and planning, we have given ourselves until December 2024 to fulfil our dream of travelling around Australia in a caravan. Our goal is to disconnect from the stresses of work and immerse ourselves in the stunning landscapes, unique wildlife, and diverse cultures that our country has to offer.
We created this site to document our journey and share our experiences with you. We hope to inspire others to take a chance and pursue their own dreams, no matter how unconventional they may seem. Follow along as we explore the hidden gems of Australia and make memories that will last a lifetime.

Kieran
Kieran has been travelling ever since he left home at the tender age of 16, and his love for travel has never stopped. Shortly after leaving home he joined a shearing team that travelled to some of the most remote stations throughout Western Australia. After cutting out a shed in the small town of Boyup Brook in the south west of WA on a particular cold winter, he travelled north in search of some warmer weather during the off season. Landing a job in the Pilbara in the town of Port Hedland he was lucky enough to meet Amanda. They joined forces and frequently travelled between Western Australia and Central Queensland, finally settling in Victoria

Amanda
Amanda was raised in Western Australia's Pilbara region in Port Hedland, her love affair with the outback began early on. Growing up amidst the rugged landscapes, she developed a deep bond with the land that fueled her thirst for adventure.
From childhood camping trips under the vast, star-studded skies, to adrenaline-pumping road trips through the dusty terrain, Amanda's passion for exploration only intensified with time. Every journey was a chance to uncover hidden gems and embrace the essence of the outback.
Then and Now
With the purchase of an 80s series Toyota Landcruiser and a small tent the adventures began. We didn't get too far however until life prompted a change of plans. Kieran started working in the mining industry which eventually led to many years working an unforgiving Fly In Fly Out schedule.
25 years later. There has been way too many long days, weekends worked and missed holidays for both of us. We are now in the planning stage for our early retirement and the lap that will never end. With the purchase of our van in 2020, and another new car. D Day is set for Dec 2024.
