Sadly as a family we have decided that our journey must come to an end :(.   It is getting harder and harder to get the kids motivated to do their school work (there is so much more out there to do!!!!!).

 

We all decided that Bundaberg would be a GREAT place to live with Elliott Heads and alike just up the road, its also just like a country town but big enough to raise a family in we spent some time there trying VERY hard to get work ect, however NOTHING was happening.  So we spent some time in Hervey Bay with Matt's parents and made the decision to move back to just North of Brisbane.

 

We have been able to secure a nice home on 2 acres (although its just not the same.....) You have to do what is right for the entire family.

 

All 3 kids are in really great schools, they settled in really well and are happy,  Matthew is happy and has work just up the road (so no need to buy a 2nd car - we just bought a push bike!!! :D).   Caroline will now re-build another massage clinic (a lot of her clients will be happy - they were phoning whilst we were in Tassie, NT, W.A. and VIC).

 

We travelled over 40,000klm's and saw a LOT of this amazing country, you could tour for 10yrs and still not see it all.   We all  have some AMAZING lifetime memories.  Matt and I can't wait to get going again!!! :cool:  (the kids will eventually leave the nest - won't they??? :ohmy: LOL!!)

We have had a wonderful time being able to spend quantity and quality time together as a family unit.  We have NO regrets and would do it all over again in a heart beat!!

 

If this is something you are thinking of doing - JUST DO IT!!!!!!  throw caution to the wind and get moving!!!  It was the BEST thing we ever did.

Wow, just as I stumble across the blog of someone doing everything I want to do, you're stopping!
I'm just in the research stage of wanting to travel around Australia and homeschool my kids (3 boys, aged 1 to 7). And I'm guessing that there's LOADS we could learn from you!

What do we really need? How much money can we really live off each week? What was indispensable and what was a waste of space? I'd love some tips!

Cheers, Skye
