All fairytales must come to an end, and so did our adventures Down Under. It has been an AWESOME year, that went by way too quick. We met amazing people, that made their ways straight to our hearts. We saw views we’ll dream about forever. We had some sh*tty moments that will make great…
Read moreTraining for Santas in Melbourne
We all know that Santa’s quite busy around Christmas, so he has some helpers. But did you ever wonder where all his helper-buddies come from?! We found out about the selection and their training! They all come from Melbourne and spread over the world to do Santa-stuff as soon as the 4 round training is…
Read moreAirBnBirthday Weekend in Bendigo
Sheltering from the storms in Victoria had its advantages, especially because it was also the weekend of Claudia’s birthday! Because the Southeast of Victoria had a rainy forecast for the whole week (our last week camping), we decided to go back West a bit, where the weather’s better. We had heard a lot about Bendigo,…
Read moreFleeing the Floods
The heaviest rainfall since 1992 is hardly a good time to go camping, even for Belgians, who are used to bad weather. It didn’t seem like a smart idea to us to keep camping beside a river that might flood at any time, so we packed up our gear and headed to a dryer part…

Read moreBye Bye Barossa…
We knew it would be hard to leave the Barossa. We made some amazing friends with whom we had great barbies, beautiful paté-moments, lots of fun, movie-nights and even trivia nights (still miss the ones in the Hale Road Tavern in Perth, though!). My job was fantastic! On top of that we got to enjoy…
Read moreMaking New Friends in Wycliffe Well
Making new friends can be challenging when you hit the road often. Most of the time you stay at one place for a maximum of a couple of days. But with these AWESOME guys we had no problem at all to become friends! From the moment they saw us they waved at us to welcome…
Read moreBlogging Down Under: Pussy Edition
Arriving in the South after driving from tropical Darwin to the red center desert and than to the Barossa valley was quite a shock for me. It was a multi-day trip, as you all could read. I tried to stay as long as possible in the desert, but with some relatives and friends being worried…
Read moreTermite Mounds Part 2: Dressing up!
When you drive in the NT, you see a lot of termite mounds dressed up. Sometimes it even looks like there is someone standing in the bush, but don’t be mistaken: it’s just a dressed up termite mound! Obviously we HAD to do that as well! So after Tom’s AWESOME birthday party yesterday (we were…
