Back home and some last thoughts. Being in a whizzbanger is very different to a wobble box and anything else we have ever had. It will still take us a while to adjust and work through the pros and cons of a small van. We are used to getting to camp, setting up, unhooking the van and then free to drive off, head into town or go exploring. It was the same with the Aussie Swag Camping Trailer and even in tent camping.

With Trek we are learning to do what we need to do before we get to camp, going someplace after camp involves packing up. Of course there is also plus’s with that, if we don’t like a spot or prefer one “just over there” it’s a lot easier to move. Moving every day is also a lot easier, setup and pack-up is very quick.
We have been travelling and exploring Australia together for nearly 40 years. We have had several different types of accommodation in that time but a camper van is something new to us.
It will all take some adjusting and a different mind set. Getting use to the limitations but also appreciating the ease, lower fuel cost, simplicity and quick setup.
Us at Donnellys Castle
We thoroughly enjoyed this trip, we came home relaxed, uplifted, optimistic that if Chris kept being as well as he has been over this 4 1/2 weeks that we still could still have some more great adventures together and we could do it in our little Trek.
Trek went awesome, very nice and easy to drive. Comfortable, fuel economy was great. Our setup of the van was outstanding, we could not think of anything we would have done differently or regretted. Very happy with it, and soooooo looking forward to exploring more of our undiscovered country.
Stephen’s Creek camping
Chris has done most of the driving in the past, so this was a real test for Kate as the sole driver. Have to say, you go girl, you did awesome.
Live Long and Prosper
