Such an underrated little slice of WA! 

📍Millstream Chichester - Python Pool. 

NB. The start of the road was not sealed and when we visited was VERY corrugated. We unhitched the van and left it near the turnoff as we were doubling back to head to the campground afterwards.

When I was younger I saw a sign in a bathroom that read ‘The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page’ 

I know that this quote comes from a place of privilege and big trips aren’t possible for everyone, but I have gained so much in my life from travel! 

A love of exploring, self reliance, a greater understanding  of different cultures and resilience. 

So glad I’ve been able to travel solo, with friends, with Geo and now with the kids.  Every adventure offers something new and exciting to learn about yourself!

Morning coffee on the balcony, matching bathrobes and kangaroos as the neighbours! These glamping tents at @tathrabeachecocamp were stunning. Perfect for that special weekend getaway! 

📍What to do in Tathra:
Epic skatepark 
Beautiful beaches 
MTB tracks 
Headland walk 
Whalebone brewery 
Fish from the wharf 
Way award winning Oysters
Take the paddle board to Nelson Lagoon - Mimosa Rocks 
Very good Burger and chips.

The Tathra Beach eco camp also has a really great dirt pump track and nature playground! Oh and the most bougie amenities block we’ve ever seen. 

Save this for when you’re planning your next trip on the NSW South Coast!

With love from the road.

Illawarra Convoy for Kids. A community event that really hits differently. I cry as soon as the first bikes roll down the mountain. These bikes and trucks have raised $25million over the last 21 years!  It really is a special day! #illawarraconvoy #i98illawarraconvoy #convoyforkids #community

Can’t help but get emotional at what the Illawarra community can achieve. What a place to be able to call home!

Wollongong is home. I grew up here, and after travelling around Australia for 18 months, we still haven’t found anything quite like this.

The Illawarra Convoy for Kids is a thunderous celebration of community. Hundreds of trucks and motorbikes. An endless sea of people lining the streets.

We flew the drone overhead, but it just doesn’t capture the energy below! It misses the tears, the waves, the loud honks, the electric atmosphere. 

Bikes rumble past for over 20 minutes with riders dressed up in costumes! Trucks  honk and wave for a good hour 

It’s definitely a bucket list event. Hats off to the trucking and biking community and everyone involved year after year to make the convoy come to life! 

Incredible fact: Over its lifetime, the Convoy has raised more than $25 million for the Illawarra community.
The funds support local families facing life-threatening illness, local charities, and even major community projects like the redevelopment of Wollongong Hospital’s Children’s Ward.

Destination disclosed at the end of the reel! 

When people say Hamelin Bay in WA is the only place to swim with these beauties in Aus, It’s just not the case.

This small beach town on the NSW South Coast is definitely one to put on the bucket list.

After travelling Australia for 18 months, it’s still one of our family favourites! 

Save this reel for when you’re planning your next NSW adventure.
