Our journey from Warrnambool to Cobar marked the beginning of a new chapter, chasing the sun and warmer days.

Selling our house in Melbourne was one of the biggest decisions we’ve ever made — and one of the best. Letting go of bricks and mortar gave us the freedom to live life on the road full-time.

Wannon Falls gave us a quiet pause west of Hamilton. Basalt cliffs, a deep gorge and short walks that fit neatly into a day on the road. A simple detour, but well worth the stop.

The Murtoa Stick Shed is definitely worth a visit. It’s not just a piece of agricultural history, but a hidden gem for architecture and history lovers alike. We were so glad we made the detour to check it out!

If you’re ever passing through, be sure to stop by the Woomelang Shearing Shed and check out the silo art trail. It’s a rare chance to connect with Australia’s rural past and witness the community’s dedication to preserving its story.

We pulled into Lake Lascelles in Hopetoun, Victoria, planning for a quick stop. Instead, we found ourselves lingering, drawn in by the peaceful atmosphere and the stunning lakeside setting.

A quiet camp near the Grampians with wide skies and easy access to Great Western’s historic wineries. Lake Lonsdale offers a relaxed stop between open water, local history, and good wine.

We spent a slow morning at the Great Stupa near Bendigo, wandering reflective gardens, exploring inside the stupa, and enjoying lunch at the café. A calm, thoughtful stop that left us feeling lighter and at ease.

We spent a few days in Bendigo visiting family and exploring its gold rush past. Going underground at Central Deborah Gold Mine revealed a larger, more industrial story than nearby gold towns, echoed above ground in Bendigo’s grand architecture.

Castlemaine sits at the centre of Victoria’s quieter goldfields. We explored Maldon, Chewton and Malmsbury, wandered historic diggings, found forgotten machinery and spent time under the Malmsbury Viaduct. A grounded, slow-travel look at the region’s gold rush past.

Our first motorhome trip from Geelong to Eden was equal parts chaos and discovery. We packed too much, sang off-key in a winery, and learned fast that the road has its own rhythm.
