Motorbikes, dogs and a lot of traveling.
Being from the city, the wild life of Bristol isn't very exciting. It's not that we don't have any, it's just that we don't see much of it. So being in the Australian country (or if you're Aussie, the bush) whenever I found anything, I would have to pick it up and take a photo...... Continue Reading →
Something I never envisioned myself doing before I left the UK, was working on a farm. I've always been interested and lived around that sort of thing but had never really got my hands dirty. I'm pretty much willing to give anything a try, so when the opportunity came to work on a farm, I... Continue Reading →
Living in the outback of Queensland, Australia, you quickly learn that the freezer is your best friend when it comes to food. Bulk buying and freezing is definitely the way to go when you're working every day and the nearest supermarket takes an hour and a half to get to. To be honest, at first... Continue Reading →
Whilst road tripping through the centre of Australia, we stopped for camp at the Devils Marbles. Since I decided I wanted to travel to Australia, I've always wanted to see the Marbles but I was never sure on the logistics of how to do it. I looked into doing a tour or getting a coach...

We have finished work on the feedlot and are now offically unemployed! I thought it would be a huge relief not to be working and that I would be excited to go, but I actually just feel sad more than anything. For six months our lives have revolved around feeding the cows, watching over them... Continue Reading →
All packed after spending a night in Coober Pedy, we made a stop at IGA supermarket for some snacks for the road. As we were currently jobless, we stopped by the notice board. Other than a few cars for sale we had no luck but one post in particular caught our eye. I've always been... Continue Reading →
This was written a while ago but I have been so busy I haven't been able to upload and edit! Sorry about the gap between the posts... ...So what was an average day like? In a nutshell, the complete opposite to my home life. At seven o'clock in the morning, I would help make the... Continue Reading →
WE MADE IT! Our road trip is complete! It is such an accomplishment and I am so happy. When you're on the road you're so focused on your next destination you sometimes forget to enjoy it. It really was a great ride and brilliant to see the less touristy side of Australia. Our new driveway. ... Continue Reading →
Since seeing the music video for Toxic, Britney had me believing that having the wind flow through my hair whilst on the back of a motorbike, would be so free and glamorous. Right now I am battling with one giant dreadlock which used to be a ponytail. Give it up Britney. Today was realllyyyyyy really... Continue Reading →
Our day started with a bang... literally. Whilst travelling at 5km around a roundabout we had our first motorbike accident. It was a very slow tumble in what we suspect to be spilt diesel. It had been raining that morning and rain on disel in like riding on ice. Our back end went out and... Continue Reading →
Our first job in Australia was in central Queensland, 94km from Longreach. Mitch was a farm hand and I was a nanny for four children. It was really tough but it was a real experience. So there we were, in Brisbane having just received news we had the job. We needed transport and fast. So... Continue Reading →
