With Leisa’s glow in the dark, lily white skin, sunscreen, a hat and shade are non-negotiable when we head to the beach.

All three were covered or so we thought.
Turns out the back of the knees missed out on sunscreen before heading out for a walk across beautiful white sands. Rookie error.

Let’s just say a 5-hour travel day with sunburn on the back of your knees is not exactly a pleasant vibe.

We have all stuffed up our slip, slop, slap at some point.

What’s your worst sunburn mistake? At least we have evolved from the childhood days Gen X of coconut oil and SPF 4.

Lake Cowan Lookout | Norseman | Western Australia

Lake Cowan was another place that completely won us over in 2025.

If you’ve got the time, the Hyden Norseman Road is well worth doing slowly. Take a few days, pull over often, and stop at all the natural attractions along the way.

The local information centres are gold too. Plenty of solid info on what’s worth seeing and where to linger a little longer.

Matt cops a fair bit of ribbing about how clean his vehicles are. Some days you would swear they have never seen a dirt road (which is wildly untrue).

But credit where it’s due.
He puts a lot of time and effort into keeping both the Jeep and the camper clean on the outside.

He uses a combination of Salty Captain and Bowdens cleaning products and has his system down pat.
Ask him about it if you dare… he will happily take you through it step by step.

One of the things we appreciate most about our setup is how easy it makes everyday stuff.

Matt went for a mountain bike ride and needed some shade, so he was able to pull out a chair and set up the awning in seconds.

It was so good to hit the trails again. While we love travelling, we also love cycling, which is an activity that’s been on the back burner for a few years.

One of the best parts of life on the road is
the people you meet along the way.

Today we finally caught up with Brendon and Belinda from Mills4 Adventures They have the same mindset, same love for getting out there so we had the kind of conversation that feels easy straight away. No awkward small talk, just straight into the good and important stuff.

They walked us through their setup and we spent a good chunk of time swapping stories, plans, and ideas.

This is what keeps us sharing our travels on socials because it gives us the chance to connect with people who just get it.

Tcharkuldu Rock Recreation Reserve donation camp at Minnipa, South Australia was one of the stand out camps of 2025 for us. The sunrises were epic.

The year ahead feels wide open.

Like standing on the edge of something good, with plenty of opportunities still to come.

Plans are already taking shape for some epic adventures.
We hope you will come along for the ride.

We would love to hear your plans for 2026.

Anderson Rocks sits out in the eastern Wheatbelt country, roughly north of Hyden. It’s accessed via the Hyden–Mt Walker Road, then you duck down Anderson Rocks Road.

This area isn’t just a random rock in a paddock. Anderson Rock is listed as a strategic community water supply site (used for agricultural needs and emergencies like stock and firefighting). So if you see water infrastructure, tanks, fittings, signage, etc… treat it like critical gear, not a playground.

Wildflower nerds, you’re going to like this.
If you’re rolling through in late winter to spring, the local visitor info calls out Anderson Rock Reserve as a good spot for orchids in bloom (Aug–Oct).

Photography tips (because this place is made for it)
Sunrise or late arvo is the money light. Granite textures start doing that moody, shadowy thing.
Take a wide lens for the rock + horizon, then swap to something longer for details like lichens, cracks, and wildflowers.

It’s a simple bush camp vibe, so assume you will need to be self-sufficient: take your rubbish out, don’t mess with any water infrastructure, and keep fires sensible if conditions allow.

Lake Baladjie sits right beside Baladjie Lake Nature Reserve, out in WA’s eastern Wheatbelt, about 42–45km north-east of Westonia off the Koorda–Bullfinch Road.
Shire of Westonia

When you climb Baladjie Rock, you can see the lake system spreading out across the landscape, with that classic salt-lake colour shift depending on the light. One minute it’s bright white, then it softens into silvery tones, then it starts throwing reflections after rain.

If you’re the photography type, this is peak “stand still and watch the light change” territory (and suddenly you’ve taken 200 photos of… salt).
