Our Adventure Begins!

So this is my first blog about our Aussie Adventure! 

My name is Natalie, and together with my husband, Adam, our 3 kids, Jesse (8yrs), Dylan (6yrs) and Emily (2yrs) and our dog, Sparkles, we're going to head out and explore Australia. 

Operation, pack up house has begun! Over the last few month we've been sorting, organising, fixing and packing up the house slowly. And now it's full steam ahead. Its already doing my head in.

We should be getting our new caravan, a Jayco Expanda, in a couple of weeks. The boys were very excited when the saw our van being displayed at the Perth Caravan & Camping Show recently. I'm getting nervous about how we are going to fit all our stuff in it.


We plan to rent out our house and store our furniture/belongings. I'm going to home school the kids and we'll stop for a few months here and there to work. Adam is a builder/handyman (he can do anything) and I've (prior to children) worked in childcare. I also sell Nature Direct, natural cleaning products. We hope to be on the road for a couple of years!


This is going to be a big change for all of us but we have been dreaming of travelling for a long time and finally 
WE ARE GOING TO DO IT!
