Dan, Lizzy, Jax and I are on an adventure! We took off in a bit of a rush last June, to say the least. At the time we had only one thing in our minds - get to Airlie Beach. The reasoning behind this was that Dan used to live and work in Airlie Beach, many moons ago. With his connections we knew he'd be able to get a job back on the boats, on the water, in a place that holds some great memories for him.
Fast-forward to nearly three months after we left (ohmygosh, that long already?) and we are both fortunate enough to have jobs that are here as long as the tourists are. Whilst work is definitely going to be a major factor in what happens from here, we do have a rough plan of what we'd like to happen.

| Little FJ and The Retro Van |
There's whispers of a hoard of travelling gypsies descending on Cape York sometime in the midst of next year, and that sounds like something we want to be a part of. With that in mind, we are keen to hold out in the stunning Whitsundays until said trip happens, likely around the end of June. This gives us time to get stuck into work during the tourist season, stuck into savings to upgrade Little FJ and The Retro Van (something we were planning when life abruptly changed a few months ago), and stuck into the life of the Tropics. Dan has a friend here who sums it up perfectly - steady, steady, four knots. It also means that we plan to be around the area for a certain Mrs' milestone birthday early next June. Just sayin'.
For now we're renting a lovely little two bedroom unit underneath a Queenslander style house on a large yard, with some chickens and an upstairs neighbour who affectionately calls it his swamp and is away more than he is home. The dogs are happy, Dan and I are happy, we are getting ready for the next part of our trip, enjoying the local area when we can, and eagerly awaiting visits from friends and family! :)
