We have just returned from an unforgettable family adventure around Australia in our 4WD and caravan. My wife and 2 boys (9 & 7), explored this beautiful country and let me tell you, it was an experience of a lifetime. Oh and by the way this country is HUGE! Some days felt like there was an endless drive in front of us but thanks to the Harry Potter audio books the hours just flew by and the drives were actually a highlight of the trip. The scenery all throughout was extraordinary. We created incredible memories and experiences but the main highlights of the trip was undoubtedly The Ningaloo Reef (Exmouth) & Uluru. The beaches and coastline of WA are breathtaking and the power and history of our red centre is moving. To be dwarfed in nature and feel so insignificant was a powerful emotion and really makes me want to take advantage of every moment on this Earth. Traveling with kids can be challenging, but it's also incredibly rewarding. The boys have come back with a broader perspective and a newfound appreciation for different cultures. And I, well, I came back with a newfound appreciation for beer, wine & long drives.... Oh and barbecue shapes. Now that I'm back, I'm ready for new adventures and opportunities, both in and out of the office. So if you know of any exciting opportunities, let me know! The trip has reminded me how diverse and beautiful this country is, and that there is so much to learn and discover. It's easy to get caught up in the daily grind and forget to take the time to make memories and experiences that will last a lifetime. Life is short, and the memories we make will last forever. So get out there and explore!

What a trip David! Love the red line on your map - it really is a BIG country… Btw, how is the second mortgage for the fuel bill going? 🤣 Good on you guys for making memories rather than putting it off for ‘later’.
