I grew up in a little rural town called Colac with my family (mum, dad and 2 sisters). After year 12 I moved to Darwin to study nursing and had a wonderful time!! I returned to Shepparton in Victoria when I was 23 and worked for a few years at the Goulburn Valley Base hospital. In 1998 I got engaged to Chris who lived in my old home town of Colac. He was working as a dairy farmer at the time (and is a cheese maker by trade). I have known Chris for many years and we now have two young children (Will and Laura) who are both school age. While we travel I will be doing most of the home schooling. Before travelling I was working part time in a private medical clinic and casual shifts at our local hospital. I really love my job and will miss nursing. We plan to take about 2 years to go right around Australia, spending a bit longer in some places than others. When we finish the nomadic life we will search for a place to build our dream home and sell our home in Colac.
A big THANKS toAunty Tanya, Elliot, Takia and Kai. This photo shows the proceeds of the pocket money you gave Will and Laura to spend on their trip. Will got himself a video of "Starwars the Clone Wars", a set of marbles and a wriggly wooden snake. Laura also got a snake, a baby doll (called Emily) and a bag of paraphernalia to go with dolly! They are all much loved and getting lots of use.
Introducing : BINDI ANNA JONES, Laura's pet spiny leaved stick insect. She was only about 1-2 cm long when Laura first got her so you can see how much she has grown. She munches up her gum leaves, makes no mess and is super quiet...we all love her! A big thanks to Kylie and family for letting Bindi join us on our trip.
Glad to see Bindi is enjoying her life as a travelling bus insect, she's grown heaps!!! Hope all is well with you guys and you are all having a wonderful adventure, take care and above all have fun xxxxx
