1. New experiences
We have had so many new experiences
while travelling around Australia. Staying on a cattle station for 10
weeks, skiing at the snow for 3 weeks, travelling the Great Ocean
Road, staying in Kununurra for 2.5 months, and visiting Kakadu and
Litchfield. These are just some of the few experiences that we have
had, and we all have some great memories. (see this post for a list of our top 15 experiences.)
Australia is a vast country, a land of sweeping plains, or ragged mountain ranges, of droughts and flooding rains. It is full of beauty and ruggedness, and even if you travel Australia all your life, there is still one more place of utter beauty to be found. Australia deserves exploring, and you will definitely enjoy all the beauty and vastness of it.
3. Learning more about Terra
Australis
Australia is a country with a great history. You learn so much
history when you travel plus you learn about the geography of
Australia. A lot of people go overseas, but what about our own
country? Quite a few people cant place some of the bigger towns that
we have been to, even places like Broome. We need to learn more about
our own country, before we learn about other countries
4. Camping in the bush
Free camping in the bush is such fun.
No tiny little sites in caravan parks. What about camping right on
the edge of Murray? Free-camping at Paddy's River flats, (in the
freezing cold) near a sparkling clear mountain stream.
5. Learning about different cultures around Australia
While travelling around Australia, we have learnt a little bit about
the different cultures of Australia. Aboriginals are an amazing
people, with an even more amazing culture. They deserve to be
respected, and we cannot do that if we do not have a respect of their history and culture.
6. Meeting new people/ making new
friends
We have met heaps of people while
travelling. In Derby and Kununurra we have made some great friends,
and will miss, and do miss them. We have also met some people that
are also travelling, and have enjoyed swapping stories about places
and towns to visit. It is great to talk with other people, especially
when we meet other families that are travelling.
7. Swimming around Australia
No, we don’t intend to swim a lap of Australia. We have all enjoyed
swimming in different waterholes around Australia. Mataranka,
Kununurra, Litchfield, and the Victorian coast have all been
memorable spots to swim, surf, and boogyboard at. Litchfield and
Mataranka, and Kununurra are definarelty our favourite places to swim
at, especially when it is hot and you need a good refreshing.
8. Being with family
Family is such a great thing to have.
Travelling around, you get to spend lots of time with the most
important thing, your family. We have all drawn closer together, and
we have strengthened our family ties.
9. Seeing God's provision
God has truly provided for us. Going to the snow, was only possible
as God placed it on a friends heart to give us a donation. Also, the
humorously expensive car repair was just able to be paid, and we were
truly grateful.
