Wow, what a month that’s been… It actually seems like forever since we left the Gold Coast to head for Perth via Waikerie. We cruised out of Beenleigh after a quick oil change on the ‘ole girl and since we were in the area, Bianca wanted to head for Queenslander Aviaries to get some supplies […]

Here’s a quick re-cap of the last month since we headed off from Lemon Tree Passage and bounced up the coast a little…⛵️we caught up with all the @stayin_afloat crew and the kidlets helped Nana put the finishing touches on the bus’ new paint job, including their hand prints .

Did we forget to tell you?? The bed is in, finished and made, and we’ve been sleeping in the bus for the last few nights 🚌 now it feels like “the begining” as we’re arranging and rearranging things and making adjustments to what we thought our floorplan would be.🚌next steps are some “homey” touches and
