What an adventure we have been on. Looking back, it seems that 18 month mark has come quite quickly. We still remember that feeling of pulling out of the driveway and waving goodbye to our families and friends. Knowing we probably wouldnāt see most of them for a good year or so.
Weāve become more wiser and realized alot during this last year. Stopping and working on some of the most remote cattle stationsš in the heart of Oz was a good eye opener to āoutback lifeā. Getting to meet many like minded young aussie travelers has helped keep us sane. Sharing stories over campfires with a beerš» in hand is now, one of our favourite things to do. We now know what sort of life we want to live, when we eventually settle back into ānormal lifeā.
Weāve realized no-ones time on earthš is guaranteed. We could die tomorrow, next week or a good few years from now. So be happy and donāt wait to do the things you have dreamed of and loveā¤ļø. Itās no secret weāre living one of our dreams. We made a plan, saved our butts off and made it happen. Weāve learnt what and who is important in life and that you donāt need alot of money to be happy.
The main thing weāve come to realize, is how bloody beautiful and diverse Australiaāļø truly is!!! We knew this trip was going to be good, but we never realized how many unreal spots Australia has. We wish more people our age would get out and see their backyard. Thereās so many mountain hikes, gorges, walking trails, waterfalls to be discovered. And to be honest, you need to be fit and agile to do alot of them. Donāt wait till your old and greyšµš»š“š», do it today! We think its funny how lots of overseas backpackers have seen more of Australia then most of our friends.
So heres to us, our epic 18 months on the road and hoping we continue to inspire other Aussieās to see how truly great our country is. āš¼š¦šŗ
