I look back this time two years ago and we were doing the exact same thing, preparing to live the nomad life. I actually get a bit of the giggles thinking about how naïve I was to the caravanning life. I literally thought I was going to be without any normalities for...

Up early to head back towards Stuart Highway, with things going well along the trek back we didn’t stop in at Mainoru outstation store for fuel as I know best and I know that I will make it to Mataranka for fuel at a better price, well that was to come back and bite...
