Why Not Now Travel Australia Podcast

Time flies by and here we are one year on reflecting on our adventure and our boys, Henry & Charlie, get to talk about their own experiences they had whilst travelling Australia. We would like to thank everyone who shared the journey with us. Both those people who we met on the road and those who followed along at home. It was an experience of a lifetime.

After leaving the ACT and driving through every state and territory in Australia it was time to take the final drive home. Can you believe it? Only a few stops but things didn't go to plan, especially on our last night on the road.

After leaving the comforts of family in the Adelaide Hills we headed towards Mildura and the Mighty Murray. After a few wonderful days camped on this amazing river we headed towards the National Capital to buy a heater and see some flowers.  Don't forget to connect with us on social media: www.facebook.com/whynotnowaustralia www.instagram.com/whynotnowaustralia   Title music is "Follow Your Dreams by Scott Holmes (scottholmesmusic.com)

After travelling halfway across Australia in less than a week we were ready to spend some time out of the car and what better way than hanging out with family in the Barossa. Wine, Chocolate and green, green grass. Oh, what a treat it was, especially that we got to stay in a real bed.

We never set out to travel in this way but here we are doing it. After leaving the glorious WA Coast we headed east towards Kalgoorlie and stared into a big hole and we even got our hands dirty. However the weather changed and then we started running from the cold, half the way across the country.

After changing our travel plans and looking at the calendar we had to start getting our skates on. We zipped through Carnarvon, explored the super popular Kalbarri National Park and found beauty in Geraldton as we started preparing to head east.   Don't forget to connect with us on social media: www.facebook.com/whynotnowaustralia www.instagram.com/whynotnowaustralia     Title music is "Follow Your Dreams by Scott Holmes (scottholmesmusic.com)

After preparing to head to Cape Range National Park to explore Ningaloo Reef we were greeted to a real treat. Picture perfect beauty and with weather to match we loved out time exploring.

After leaving all the comforts of family time in Port Hedland, we get back on the road. We bump into old friends and find not only shooting stars but some whales. Getting back on the road has been sweet and there is more to come.

Port Hedland, for most travellers, is just a place to pass through to somewhere else but we went there to see family. We found that Port Hedland had more to it than just a place to work for a mining company and we had some amazing experiences. Oh and we enjoyed our first dinner together without out the kids for the whole of 2019!   Don't forget to connect with us on Social Media: www.facebook.com/whynotnowaustralia www.instagram.com/whynotnowaustralia       Title music is "Follow Your Dreams by Scott Holmes (scottholmesmusic.com)

8 Months! Just like that we have chalked up 8 months on the road. With our plans changing and a new direction in 2020 we reflect on what we have done and learnt so far. There are still challenges but there are no regrets.   Don't forget to connect with us on Social Media: www.facebook,com/whynotnowaustralia www.instagram.com/whynotnowaustralia     Title music is "Follow Your Dreams by Scott Holmes (scottholmesmusic.com)

After leaving Kununurra we pushed hard to get to the west coast at the expense of all those things we really wanted to do along the way. It's now Ben and Charlie's turn to be sick. Broome is a mixture of white Sand, crocodiles and more hospital visits.  Don't forget to connect with us on social media: www.facebook.com/whynotnowaustralia www.instagram.com/whynotnowaustralia     Title music is "Follow Your Dreams by Scott Holmes (scottholmesmusic.com)  

After arriving in Kununurra we planned to stock up before heading west. The plan was to head to El Questro and explore but some things just don't go to plan. Facing a sick child and a broken car we find wonderful people to help and get us going again.

After leaving Darwin we start to make our way further west. More hot springs equals pool noodles (it had to happen at some point). We find special rocks and jump over another border into a cold pool but at least it had a nice view :)   Don't forget to connect with us on Social Media: www.facebook.com/whynotnowaustralia www.instagram.com/whynotnowaustralia     Title music is "Follow Your Dreams by Scott Holmes (scottholmesmusic.com)

After leaving Normaton we continue further along the Savannah Way. We share our first Pancake Sunday and Ben writes off a set of pluggers. We tackle some serious dirt roads that lead to beautiful places and some that lead to places you can't pronounce.  Jump on and follow us on Social Media: www.facebook.com/whynotnowaustralia www.instagram.com/whynotnowaustralia     Title music is "Follow Your Dreams by Scott Holmes (scottholmesmusic.com)

Our final push into tropical north Queensland. We explore beaches, forest and quirky markets. Are we tired of rain, yes but we still had a great time. Migaloo even got its reverse camera fitted finally.     Title music is "Follow Your Dreams by Scott Holmes (scottholmesmusic.com)

After leaving our sailing dreams in Airlie Beach we hit the road to press further north.

After leaving the Canefields of Mackay it was time to continue a little further up the Queensland Coast and what better place to stop than  the Whitsundays. Airlie Beach was the destination and the proving ground for Ben's recent boat obsession. We had Sun, Snorkling and Swell and lots of it.      Title music is "Follow Your Dreams by Scott Holmes (scottholmesmusic.com)
