The road to Purnululu NP  is the worst road in Australia!
Hi we are @thefamily find. If you love unfiltered family adventure and finding beautiful places to visit, give us a follow. 
Purnululu is 100% an Australian bucket list destination and most of the walks are kid friendly making it the perfect family adventure!
There are camping options in the park, but you can’t tow a duel axel van into the park - single axel only. 
There is a free camp at the entrance to the park and often people will day trip in. The drive in will take you 1 1/2 - 2 hours each way dependant on the road conditions and it’s 4wd only! 
Is it worth it Absolutely! 
Is it the worst road in Australia - we don’t think so!

Breaking news: we aren’t loaded.
No trust fund.
No inheritance.
No secret money tree.
* We just live below our means
* Say no to lifestyle creep 
* Often buy second-hand
* Have a modest home that we love
* We skip designer labels and 5-star resorts
* Prioritise experiences over stuff.
We can’t have it all, so we focus on what matters most. To us right now that’s travelling; exploring, and making memories with our kids.

You won’t believe us when we say…
Our kids still talk about this hike!
Firstly, follow along @thefamilyfind for more epic hikes and family adventures. 
This is 100% an Australian Bucketlist hike. It’s only 3km return and honestly a pretty easy incline on the way up until you get to the very last part which includes some rock scrambling and ladder climbing! 
Such a cool experience! 
I do recommend getting there early, particularly if you’re travelling in the warm summer months. It also means often getting the viewing platform to yourself!
Ps. We had several people tell us the hike wasn’t suitable for children! We are here to tell you that our little ones smashed it and yours can too! Take your time on the boulders and you will have no problems 
📍Granite Skywalk, Porongurup National Park

Welcome to… 
📍 Big Millstream Falls
Follow along @thefamilyfind for epic hidden gems and family travel adventures! 
Less than 2 hours from Cairns and only 45 minutes from Atherton, Big Millstream Falls is the widest single-drop waterfall in Australia! 
Sure these falls are no secret, but did you know you can stand on top of them?
The viewing platform is an easy 300m walk from the car park and it offers a pretty cool view. 
However we found an overgrown track with old stairs that takes you to the top of the falls, which is next level amazing! 
You will find the track as you are heading back to the car park not even 50 meters from the viewing platform. It’s on the right just before the first bend. 
One not to be missed! SAVE now for when you’re planning your next QLD adventure!
Keen to hear your other hidden gem finds! 
*NB:  The track was super safe, however we think water levels would change quickly with rain so please use your own judgement at the time you visit!

“But what about school?”
School matters to us. A lot.
Reading, writing, maths, routine and responsibility are non-negotiables in our home.
But learning doesn’t only happen in a classroom.
Today’s lessons looked like geography by being in it, maths by navigating it,
confidence through independence,
and curiosity through the world around them.
The classroom will always be there.
These days won’t. Learning isn’t just black and white and either is life! 
Follow @thefamilyfind for all things family travel and adventure!

You won’t believe us when we tell you…
we had the entire free camp to ourselves. 
Make sure to give @thefamilyfind a follow if you like family adventures and finding hidden gems! 
We got to explore the rugged landscape and enjoy the serenity (does that exist with kids?).
Still cannot believe this was a free camp! One to save for when you’re planning your next Australian road trip. An absolute bucket list stay! 
📍This is James Price Point, WA. (Camp is named 800m past James Proce Point on Wiki).
