About Us

Australia
Whenever you mention overseas that you are from Australia, people think “the opera house, skippy and the beaches” but Australia is not only that, Australia is the bush, the outback, the country people, and its wild life and lots more. Ten years ago we joined one of the best four wheel drive club in the country. Being members of the Subaru Club, we have met exceptional people, whom we consider our second family; we learnt how to go camping, four wheel driving and more, now is time to put our skills to the test. We will be travelling to the rainforest, the outback, the world famous great barrier reef, we will go through some remote areas with rugged terrain, we’ll see lots of wild life including the legendary salt water crocodile, furthermore the famous road trains, they are 53 metres long, of course meet the country people, we will be visiting cattle stations; one of them is one and a half million acres and obviously we will be going to a lot of country pubs so we can enjoy a coldie while we meet some of the locals and some adventurous travellers, we are very excited and cannot wait longer to “Go and See Australia”......well...part of it.

More driving

Our admiration and respect for all the truckies and everybody who has done a big trip, the distances are immense, Rosario has set herself a challenge, every time we are on the road on long distances she is going to do some crocheting and believe me is getting bigger and bigger.

Gabriel enjoys his driving and a little bit of speeding but don't tell  the "candy car driver", yesterday we had problems with the chip he had installed to the engine and we had to removed it, this was an unexpected delay because we had to find a mechanic and by the time the truck was ready it was 2 pm, we didn't want to spoil our schedule therefore we kept on going the rest of the afternoon into the evening so we could  reach our next destination.....Airlie Beach.



We arrived around 11 pm and the party in town was on, the main street was packed of people, music and backpackers, we just set up and went to bed.



We got up a bit late, we visited Cedar Creek Falls at Conway National Park there wasn't water, it was just a big pond and the creek was dry, after we headed to Conway Beach were the tide was very low and the ocean very far away it is impressive to see all this extension of  beach.



Went to a placed call Proserpine is a little town which their main industry is sugar production, the sugar cane harvesting starts this weekend and will be a festival on Saturday. 






To finish our day we drove back to town and  walked around the "tourist paradise" were there are lots of shops, restaurants, cafes and pubs.






Kilometres travelled to date:  2687 Km.
