Beaufort Town
Our first stop on the trip was Beaufort. Why Beaufort I here you ask. Well I just love the town. It has two of my favourite buildings and they are right next to each other. Beaufort Motors now houses the Skinny Sisters Cafe where we had a lovely lunch...
From Swearing To Beaufort
I don’t know if there is a town called Swearing anywhere but for a while a street in Mount Dandenong could definitely be called Swearing. Our street is narrow, single lane and gravel. Not exactly conducive to a 24 foot caravan to traverse. But there was no choice we...
UBCO Meet Drifta
Thanks to the Luke and the Team at Drifta I have mounted my UBCO Electric Motorbike to the drawbar of the caravan. They also supplied a custom canvas cover. ?? For the normally abled this should have been a simple task but one blunt and two broken drill bits...
The Pick Up

All This Has To Fit Somewhere ?
With the caravan being ready soon we started pulling out all the things that we need to take. Hopefully there is a space somewhere for all of this ?...

Things Is a Happening
They say a week’s a long time in politics but clearly it’s also a long time in caravan building. Bob and his minions have been going gang busters on the van. From a chassis to this in a week is amazing....
This Sh!t Just Got Real
If you have ever seen Bad Boys you know it’s reaching its climax when “The Sh!t Gets Real’. Well this is our moment the Caravan’s chassis has just been delivered. The floor has already been laid. Way to go Bob! The walls are the next to go up. Most...
