Adventures of big red: The Rig. Several people from home, fellow travellers ad other travelling families we've blogged with have asked what we are travelling and living in and how it compares with other options (like caravans or tents). We are not sure how our setup compares with other options but we have provided some details and photos of our truck and camper trailer here for those who are interested in doing the same sort of trip or for those who can't quite get their heads around how we can actually live out of a trailer for over a year. The choice of vehicle was easy, Rob loves his Toyota Land Cruisers and the best we could hope to afford on our budget was an 80 series. We opted for diesel due to the better fuel efficiency and towing power but didn't get a turbo. If we had the money we would have put in an after market turbo but funds haven't stretched that far.
Rob fit out the back of the truck himself with shelving that fit several boxes for tools, recovery gear and mountains of other stuff. On the Road Bedroom. Smiffy's Big Road Trip.

Hi. Cheers, Alan P.S. Hi, Planning Your Big Trip Around Australia. So if your time is limited to three months, maybe rule out exploring the Nullarbor and West Australia for this trip. That leaves plenty of time for a leisurely explore up the coast from say Sydney or Melbourne, heading north towards the delights of the Great Barrier Reef, Cairns and the Whitsunday coastline, before heading west to Alice Springs, along the Flinders and Barkly Highway through Mt Isa and Tennant Creek, and maybe arching back south via Kings Canyon, Uluru, Port Augusta and Broken Hill.
Alternatively weeks can be spent wandering around Outback Queensland and the Channel Country between Birdsville, Longreach and Cloncurry, or exploring the wild rivers and beaches of the remote Gulf Country, including the barramundi fishing at Burketown, the World Heritage 20 million-year-old fossils at Riversleigh and the wonders of Lawn Hill National Park north of Mt Isa.
Or if the holiday is only a month long, try and confine the bulk of the trip to one state. Travel School. The best education for your child? Whether you choose homeschooling (home education) or distance education for your travel school, I believe you will discover a wonderful education for your child. Travelling, with the world (or at least a part of Australia) as your classroom, beats the traditional school setting, hands down. It provides a daily exposure to real life,and a personalised itinerary of continual field trips (excursions). As a bonus, all this comes with loving one-on-one tutors (Mum & Dad) right alongside. If education is preparation for life, then travel is an education in itself. Using a definition of education as: "Intellectual, spiritual, physical and emotional preparation for life", you can't actually make a bad travel school decision! Caravan school.

This trip took us from the NSW south coast to the south-west of Western Australia and back.

Off-Road Caravans - Which one is right for you? Which one is right for you? Advantages of Off-Road Caravans There are many reasons why Off-Road Caravans are a great choice, but the main one is FREEDOM!! Freedom to escape the crowds and get to the harder to access places (which are often the best!!). This allows you to experience the rewards that come with putting in the extra effort to explore that dirt road or outback track. Versatility: Ability to stay in a town or move out to the bush if that town is too crowded and gaining a caravan park spot means booking weeks or months in advance.
