Digital Nomads - One Byte

13/01/2025

To wrap up our first day back into normality, we received an email with a link to an article published about us on the Let's Go Caravan & Camping website. Is it too late to take another year off? 😂

Discover the inspiring journey of Brett and Kirsty as they become digital nomads, finding balance between work and travel.

Well that’s a wrap for now. Tomorrow we head back to normal life for a bit. In the last year, we have learnt that there is more to life than work, that Australia is a very big place (with so much to see) but also a very small palace (when you share a campfire with someone who grew up in the same town as you) and that memories are worth more than you could ever imagine. We have had the most amazing year traveling our beautiful county and feel so lucky that we could work and travel and make so many wonderful memories. We don’t know what the future holds but we do know that our adventures together are not over. We have Vietnam and Cambodia booked in for June and then who knows. In the meantime, it’s back to normal work (but only 4 days a week now), renovations and spending time with family.

Our 2nd last video of the year. Yep we have made it home!
Our final travel adventure of the year was a whirlwind 5-week journey from Adelaide back home to Queensland! Along the way, we visited family, explored charming towns, and soaked in the beauty of the changing landscapes. But Queensland didn’t greet us with its usual sunny skies—instead, we arrived in a downpour!

Join us for the highlights of our journey as we cross five states and finally arrive back home, wrapping up an incredible year of travel. Thank you for following along with our 2024 adventures! Stay tuned for our wrap-up video of our Gap Year.

Honey we’re home! Also, how much space do we have right now!?! We just wanted to let everyone know that we are home safe and sound. We’ve been very busy since Sunday working, moving and buying furniture (because Kirsty decided it was a great idea to have a MASSIVE clean out before we left so we didn’t keep much furniture). We have some videos to share and statistics on our trip coming up so stay tuned. Just need to get settled in first.

By the way Queensland- WTF is this humidity?!?!

Our first night apart in nearly 10 months. I’m heading back to Queanbeyan for the night to help my parents and aunty with a job. Brett is staying in Wyong to finish his assignment. I’m not sure how he’ll cope without me 😉. I’m sure the BBQ and beers at my cousins will help ease the pain.

UHF radios…. We’ve been traveling for 10 months and have the UHF radio on all the time. And we have been so sick of listening to so much static! Today, with just 2 weeks left of our trip we discovered “squelching”. Now this is probably obvious to many but for those of it that it isn’t, you can change the squelch settings on your unit which minimises the static. Just google the manual for yours and adjust as necessary. Can’t believe it was that easy!

Part 2 of our Flinders Ranges adventure is live! 🦘🚁✨ We lost a ton of dashcam footage (so you won’t see just how many animals darted across the road in front of us!) but we still managed to capture some pretty incredible moments. From close encounters with emus, kangaroos, and goannas to a breathtaking sunset helicopter ride to Chase Lookout at Rawnsley for wine and canapés, this trip has been something special. 🍷🌄

What’s on our mind? 1 month. 4 weeks. 28 days. 672 hours. That’s all we have left of our amazing trip. We are excited to see everyone but also sad that our trip is coming to an end. 😀☹️🙄😫🤔😬😭

Hit us up with any questions you have about our trip and we’ll do an end of trip wrap up video.

While researching our dream setup, we loved watching walkthrough videos to see how others had set up their car and van combos. It gave us a glimpse into different layouts, setups, and the mods people make to suit life on the road. So now, after 9 months on the road ourselves, we’re sharing our own! Meet Betsy (our Mazda BT-50) and Milton (our Coromal caravan).

This isn’t a polished tour—just a real look at our well-loved, road-worn setup, complete with dust from recent dirt road adventures and no time for a wash. We hope this video helps someone else out there as they plan their journey!

There was too much fun to pack into one video for Flinders Ranges so here is part 1 of our Flinders Ranges journey! We tackle Arkaroola’s rocky 4WD trails, soak up epic views, and take in star-filled skies that light up the outback. Then it's off to Blinman for a taste of local history with an underground mine tour. Join us as we dive into the wild beauty of South Australia’s iconic landscape.

An important iOS update has been released. This prompted me to write a blog on the importance of updating your devices, targeted especially at the travelling community. But something that applies to anyone with any digital device. Seriously, spend the 5 mins to read this article. I'm sure watching one less cat video will be worth it. :)

See the Winery? It’s so close! We are camped by the Murray River and it’s just over the river. BUT it’s a 33min drive or a swim to get there. 🤔🤔🤔

We loved Albany and Porongurup but I can't say we loved Toolbrunup Peak. Yes, it was epic, the view was amazing and I'm glad we did it but boy did it show us how unfit we are! We didn't give up though and we made it to the top.
