On our recent trip to Singleton we came across the Australian Wife Carrying Titles and it was the most hilarious thing to watch ever! - Hi, 👋 if you’re just discovering our page, we are Sam, Geo, Reuben and Eli.

Wow, we weren’t expecting much from this place but it blew our expectations out of the water. We spent so long here enjoying the view and playing on the dunes. It’s the perfect place to sit and read, relax and take in the view or get in on the action with some sandboarding. An absolute must visit if you’re planning a trip to Forster. 📍 One Mile Beach sand dune, Forster NSW. We parked at Bennetts Head Lookout and took the easy scenic Bicentennial Walk which brings you out at the top of the dune. Alternatively you can park at One Mile Beach and walk north along the sand. - Hi, 👋 if you’re just discovering our page, we are Sam, Geo, Reuben and Eli.

This Rockpool is up there with our families favourite Rockpool in Australia! What makes this rockpool unique is that they sit offshore and you have to wade/ swim out to access them. They are only assessable at low tide and low swell, but timing it right is sooo worth it. As an added bonus the beach and ocean pool right next to this Rockpool are both amazing, so pack a picnic and spend a day soaking in the sun and salt water 📍These rockpools can be found on the north end of Port Kembla beach I line with the ocean pool pipes. Free parking is onsite and these no strenuous walk to find them! Always remember to use common sense and know your swimming abilities. Keep the Illawarra beautiful by leaving only footprints. - Hi, 👋 if you’re just discovering our page, we are Sam, Geo, Reuben and Eli.

No affiliate. No discount. Just a great book from Nas Campanella, who is genuinely one of the most exceptional humans out there. We’ve read the book as a family since I filmed this and it’s already sparked so many great conversations with the boys. In bookstores now or online through Booktopia. Comment BOOK and I’ll send you the link. So proud of you @nascampanella

We had no idea how good this experience would be! We had Hugh, one of the owners as our guide and we loved how fully immersed we got to be in the experience. We all learnt so much and had the best time meeting so many beautiful highland cows!

Save this one so you know how to get there. This gem isn’t sign posted! How to get there: Start on the Gudda Gumoo (Rainbow Falls) track. About 30 minutes in you’ll hit some steep stairs leading to Rainbow Falls. Don’t head down the stairs, instead turn right. From here you’re only about 5 minutes from the pools, but the track will split again. Keep right. The water is crystal clear, deep & freezing cold, but stunning and absolutely worth jumping into 🙂 📍Find this beauty in Blackdown Tableland NP. - Hi, 👋 if you’re just discovering our page, we are Sam, Geo, Reuben and Eli.

What do you think? Because of our overseas trips earlier this year, this was our first school holiday trip in the van for 2026 and it was awesome! It was definitely a holiday. A few things to note. Accomodation: Caravan parks were $$$’s. We stayed 5 nights at Reflections Urunga at $155 a night which we would never do travelling full time. We met our friends there though and it was awesome so 0 regrets. We did our best to balance out this stay with a few pub and Showground stays. Fuel: It is what it is, but at $2.90 per/ l it definitely hurt. Eating out and booze: Yep, certainly a holiday. A few feeds out plus the cheeky bakery stop and drink at the end of the day add up. Definitely not something we indulge in often when on the road for longer periods. Groceries: This is something we have noticed go up since our trip. We do our best to meal plan, but the boys are eating loads! Tolls: Yikes, Sydney is an absolutely killer. Probably another reason why we always tend to go south. Certainly looking into if we can get some of this refunded. - Hi, 👋 if you’re just discovering our page, we are Sam, Geo, Reuben and Eli.
