Australian Road Trips - Featured Families

Here we feature Australian Road Trips and the families that are doing it - We figure, the best way to find out more about Travelling Australia With Kids (TAWKing) is by answering our TAWK Ten Questions by those are are doing it or have done it.

Australian Road Trips 2021

In No Rush

We are the Rush family. We have been on the road for 6 months (since April 2021) we are a family of 6, Mum -  Mandi, Dad - Conon, and 4 kids, Sam - 14, Shaylea - 9, Sienna - 7 and Anita - 5. We have a Jayco  Expanda. We also travel with Mandi's parents - Diane and Robert, they have their own caravan, a Jayco Starcraft. 

We decided to start TAWKing when Conon's best friend got sick with Cancer, and passed away shortly after. We decided that life is too short to be confined to a house doing the daily ritual. We decided that we wanted to give our kids great long-lasting memories and spend more time together.

AdventuringPals

Hi, we are AdventuringPals, a family of 4, mum and dad (Eshlyn and Elvin) with two young boys (Jaiden and Jordan) and we have been working and travelling around Australia since March of 2019. We tow our 2010 Jayco Expanda with our Mitshubishi Triton and that is our home.

We are active on the common social media sites and have a webpage but our YouTube channel has been the main focus with weekly uploads. It's been a great way to document our travels for our own future reflection and to provide other families and travelers with insight into some amazing locations around the country.

We love sharing advice, hints, tips, hidden gems, adventures and of course our photography.

The Happy Hobo's

We are The Happy Hobo's.  Harvey, Paulette, Kaden 15 & Libby 10 plus our two dogs a chocolate Labrador Milo & Yorkshire terrier Pep.

A mixture of circumstances lead to our decision to go for it.  We have always enjoyed travelling and had itchy feet. We sadly lost our home , possessions and cat to a electrical fire in 2018. Covid hit Victoria and Paulette's dad passed away in the UK and we were unable to return for the funeral due to Covid. 

So lessons were learnt over the last few years of what is important: Time as a family making memories. ❤

5 Pods in a Van

We are the Podolak family, also known as 5 Pods in a Van, from Ipswich.  We are a family of 5 with Me (Michael), Krisy and 3 kids Poppy (8), Leo (7) and Autumn (6).  We initially decided to travel Australia in 2019 after some discussion that life and the best years with our kids were getting away from us.  

The recent Covid outbreaks have definitely demonstrated to us that we need to do it now or time will get away from us again.  So here we are, finally setting off on our exploration of Aus

Speed Dating Australia!

We are the van Wijk Family.  Mum (Pippa), Dad (Wayne), and 3 kids April (14), Fraser (13) and Erin (11).    We bought a 1990 14ft Windsor Windcheater 2 years ago to renovate specifically for a trip around Australia.  At the start of 2020 we postponed due to Covid. At the start of 2021 we decided it was now or never as a family as our children were getting older.  We called our trip "Speed-Dating Australia" and travelled for 100 days circumnavigating Australia from April-June.

A good read for families who are thinking of travelling with older kids!  Read more here.
