Next Generation

This is the new site/next generation of Let’s Go Travel Australia. We started Let’s Go Travel Australia over 17 yrs ago as a way to document and share our love of travelling with friends, family and other like minded travelers. We have been travelling together since the day we got married nearly 40 years ago.

For those that don’t know Chris has terminal brain cancer, after more than 2 years he is still fighting this horrible disease, passing all expectations. Fighting with courage, determination and love for his family.

With a change in circumstances, mode of accommodation and the fact that Kate will eventually be travelling on her own. It was time to close the Let’s Go Travel Australia site down. To keep our precious memories and travels private, for Kate to treasure. We thought it was better to start off with a new site, with a new name as she heads into the next chapter of her life.

We did a trip to Tassie in 2023 where we flew down, hired a car and stayed in motels, hotels, Air BnB’s, cabins etc for 3 weeks. We left Tassie with the desire to go back for a longer period and it highlighted the fact the desire to travel was still very strong.

We had thought our travelling days were over. But after a lot of thought, research and soul searching it was decided to get a travelling setup that Kate can handle on her own, where she can travel for the both of us, with Chris always in her heart, taking Chris wherever she goes.

After lots of looking and not finding something that really suited our needs we decided to purchase a 2023 Hyundai Staria Load Premium. It was bought specifically for us to convert to a campervan so Kate can continue doing what we have both loved and enjoyed together.

Even though it was bought and converted so Kate can continue to travel and explore our amazing country, it is also so we can still get a few small trips and weekends away together. We want to continue to make wonderful memories and experiences together while we can.

You can read more about the conversion here.

Live Long and Prosper
