The Last Post.

Our rig in the Kimberley.

Not many people get to Steep Point!

As they say in the classics, "all good things must come to an end!" So it is with a tinge of sadness that I write the last post of John & Carolyn's Big Caravan Adventure. No bugles or fanfare, just one  short last post. To all of those that have followed our journey, a big thank you. I have enjoyed your feedback and hope you enjoyed our adventure. To those casual readers, I hope you found it informative and entertaining. As most already know, the journey has ended with our settling in Noosaville, Qld. We are very happy indeed, to call Noosaville home. It is almost 40 years since two young lovers holidayed at Noosaville and started a romance that never ends. We always said we would come back to Noosaville, and we did!! The caravan is stored nearby, and there is no doubt it will be calling us regularly!! In fact, as I write, it is appropriate that we are parked in Shellharbour Beachside Caravan Park, taking a short trip south for Christmas and New Year with family and friends.

Our new Noosaville address.

Noosaville, a relaxed lifestyle!

The 18th December marked 8 years since we pulled away from our home at Lilyfield, to embark on an adventure that had no planned itinerary and no time frame. Who said it wouldn't last!! We are so proud of ourselves, that we took a huge leap of faith, and undertook what so many wish for, and only a few turn into a reality. What an adventure it has been. So many great sights, so many new friends all over Australia, and so many memories, forever recorded here in our blog. Australia is a wonderful country full of amazing sights, and incredible people. We are blessed to have seen so much and met so many characters. Those eight years have seen a huge increase in nomadic travellers, throughout remote Australia. Who let the secret out!! Remote camps now crowded, caravan parks crammed and overflowing, tours booked out days ahead. Definitely time for a break!!

Mitchell Falls.

On the banks of the Pentecost River.

Everyone asks us what is our favourite place. We unequivocally reply, The Kimberley! You cannot adequately describe the Kimberley, you have to experience it. It is a vast and remote area, of incredible natural beauty. El Questro, The Gibb River Road, The Bungle Bungles, Mitchell Falls, The Pentecost River, the many amazing gorges, like Bell, Manning, Geicke and Windjana, Lake Argyle, and of course at the western end, Broome & Cable Beach, Cape Leveque, the giant tides and the unbelievable Horizontal Waterfalls. Just talking about it makes me want to hitch up and head there!!! We will certainly go back.

In the future, if we embark on short trips to interesting places we will start a holiday blog to share the dream again. Believe it or not, there are a few spots we missed! And of course, there are plenty of spots to revisit, and friends to catch up with. See you out there on the road!!
