Not our normal content, but happy 11th wedding anniversary G! Thanks for always saying yes to my big ideas and doing this crazy life of ours with me and the kiddos. Yay to being away in the van this weekend and doing what we love most!

Everything you need to know before you go:
* Parking is $12, pay it. Rangers do checks regularly.
* Start early, you’ll beat the heat and grab a parking spot with ease.
* Carry plenty of water.
* Hat and sunscreen, it’s an exposed coastal walk with no shade.
* Pack a first aid kit (we use @survival, use FAMILYFIND for a discount)
* Doing it with kids, longer at 8km, but genuinely easy.
* Patchy reception for most of the walk, download offline maps before you go.
* No cafes or shops so pack your own snacks and lunch.
* Places only stay pristine if we respect and care for them, take your rubbish home with you.
📍 The Coast Track, Wattamolla to Curracurrang Falls, Royal National Park

We get asked this question at least weekly! I know right, you lot are nosey 😜And unfortunately there’s no spicy sauce or get rich quick scheme here. We worked and invested like mofos from a young age, purchased property at the right time and have ALWAYS put a high priority on travel. We don’t travel fancy, always spend less than we make, prioritise experiences over things and have no interest in buying a bigger house or a designer handbag.

I read this book in 2021 and it fundamentally changed the trajectory of how we now do life!
Before this book I was a big advocate for retiring early, but honestly, the huge side effect meant missing a lot of my kids’ baby years!
And before you come at me, yes saving for retirement is essential, but don’t save so much that you die with a big bank balance at the expense of living your most fulfilled life.

Haha, my body loves me really. Nothing better for my mental health than being out in nature, even with all the stairs. Follow along @thefamilyfind for family travel.

G and I now just hire bikes in places we want to ride so don’t take ours with us on trips, but not having the kids bikes with us isn’t an option. We used to just put a tarp down on the bed and travel with them inside, but it’s just too hard now as they have grown and so have their bikes 🤣. Please send help! me!

He really took it to the next level!
Ps. If you’re up near Townsville go stay at Mountview Farm Stay and Poodles. Dog friendly and $23 for the tribe! Perfect base to explore the area and always something going on. We loved it here, so much so we have stayed twice and it’s still on the kids ‘come back’ list!
