Dream big, live simple

Jono, Laura and Neddy are currently travelling Australia in a troopy.

You can also find us on Facebook, Instagram, occasionally Twitter, or by interacting with our friendly contact flamingo (ok, it’s more a contact form than a contact flamingo. But we wish it was a flamingo).

Eyre Peninsula AGAIN: big barrels in a dust bowl

After crawling out of Eyre Peninsula dunes a few days ago, we were both well and truly desert hacked. Dusty beyond belief, neither of us had any clean clothes, Jono was surfed out, sore and limping from ulcerated flipper sores, reef cuts and unexplained foot rashes, Laura was sporting unevenly tanned hands from long shifts … Read More
