Meet the Rascals Behind the Reviews
We’re Ian and Pauline — travelling Australia full time by caravan with no plans and no deadlines. We write about each place exactly as we find it — the real costs of full-time caravan travel, the quiet corners, the surprises, and the moments that remind us why we chose this life. It’s our way of keeping the journey real.

Where We’re Heading Next
Over the next couple of months we’ll keep rolling north, leaving the coast behind and settling into the wide‑open quiet of the outback.
From Coober Pedy we’ll cross into the Northern Territory and spend time around Yulara, exploring Uluru (Ayers Rock) and Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) at a slower pace.
From there we’ll loop through Kings Canyon, Alice Springs, and the East and West MacDonnell Ranges before eventually turning east and making our way back toward our home state of Queensland.
Thanks for travelling with us.
