The Bloomfield Track… A Bit Underwhelming!

We’ve always heard the Bloomfield Track talked about like it was this iconic, challenging route. So naturally, we were keen to give it a crack. But honestly? It’s not what it used to be.

A lot of the track is now concreted, kind of like a boat ramp in some sections. There are still a few dirt and gravel parts, and we can definitely see how it would get tricky in the wet, especially on the clay.

We still popped it into 4WD, mostly using low range on the steeper declines which hit up to 31 percent. Not because it was overly difficult, but to take the pressure off our brakes and let them cool without thrashing them.

It’s definitely worth doing if you’re in the area and keen to tick it off, but don’t expect a wild off-road challenge.

At least not in the dry.

I used to think putting things off was the responsible thing to do.
Maybe later, when life slows down.
Maybe next year, when I have more money saved.
Maybe one day.

But here’s what I’ve learned.
The cost of not going for it is massive.
It’s not just a missed opportunity. It’s a life you never get back.

For me, the cost was…

All the weekends I gave to work instead of spending them camping or out on the tracks.
The constant guilt of missing time with my family and friends.
The burnout from pouring everything into a job that gave me little in return.
The passion projects and hobbies I put on the shelf because I was too exhausted.
The holidays that never happened.
The dreams I kept telling myself I’d get to later, even when I knew deep down that later wasn’t guaranteed.

The truth is, staying where you are just because it’s familiar is the real risk.

Since starting this business, everything has shifted.
I’ve learned how to create income from my laptop while travelling full-time.
I’ve found a supportive community that lifts me up instead of draining me.
And most importantly, I’ve taken my time, energy, and freedom back.

So before you tell yourself maybe later, ask yourself this.
What does not going for it really cost you?

Lions Den Hotel. We Finally Did It!

We finally made it to the iconic Lions Den Hotel and wow, what a place!

There is so much character packed into those walls. Scribbles, signatures, stickers, and stories from travellers past and present. It’s one of those spots that just oozes personality and history.

We camped up for a couple of nights and of course treated ourselves to a pub dinner because it would’ve been rude not to 😅

Staying at the Lions Den was super convenient too. It gave us the perfect base to do the Bloomfield Track and explore Cooktown without the stress of packing up and rushing around.

If you’re planning a stop here, make sure you get in early to score a good campsite. It definitely fills up quick.

This spot absolutely lived up to the hype. If you’re doing the Cape, this is one place that needs to be on your list!

🌟 Sunday Saver Alert! 🌟

Funny how your favourite clothes always end up being the ones you didn’t expect, right?

When we first hit the road, we packed way too much and wore maybe half of it. But the stuff that stayed in rotation? A small stack of Northern Three Sixty gear — the tees, the fishing shirts, and yep, the footy shorts.

There’s something about clothes that actually work for this lifestyle:
→ Breathable enough for stinkin’ hot days
→ Easy to wash and quick to dry
→ Still look decent after a full day on the tracks

Now they’re our go-tos for everything from beach hangs to long drives to surprise stopovers with mates.

And because we love sharing a good thing when we find it, we’ve teamed up with them so you can save a few bucks too.

Use code "TRAVELLUX10" at checkout for a discount on your next order.

Wear what actually works. Leave the rest behind.
Happy Sunday, and happy saving!

For years I thought the only way to get ahead was to work harder.

Extra shifts, weekend work, long hours on my feet; all to make ends meet.
And even then, there was barely time to enjoy the life I was working so hard to afford.

I love being a vet nurse. But I didn’t want to feel burnt out from something I care so deeply about.
I just wanted more time to do the things I enjoy.
To slow down, be outdoors more, and actually live the life Jesse and I dream about.

So I started working online. Not to quit my job, but to reduce my hours and have more choice in how I spend my days.

My biggest goal right now is to build a house deposit while we travel full time.
I want to work 2 to 3 days a week and spend the rest of my time exploring, being with animals, camping, 4WDing, and soaking up the freedom we’ve created.

Online network marketing gives us that opportunity.

I show up online as myself. I share what I love. I connect with people who want more from life too.
And that has been the biggest thing for me, helping people like myself achieve a life they love.

Now I have the ability to support myself financially and still have time for the things that matter most.

This business gives me more than just income.
It gives me the perfect work/life balance.

And I’m so glad I said yes when I did.

🐱 CATURDAY 🐱

This week’s been a bit slower, which has actually been so nice. We’ve had time to just travel, set up, and stay put for a while. Omega has definitely enjoyed the calm… with a few surprises along the way.

She’s officially met her cousins, Hank and Pickles. And let’s just say… they’re very into her. Probably a little too into her. The vibe is: totally obsessed, but not necessarily in a peaceful “let’s be friends” kind of way. 😅

Omega, though? Cool as ever. Even when they’ve barked or gotten a bit in her space, she hasn’t reacted much. No stress, no drama, just a side-eye and a “you do you” attitude. Absolute queen behaviour.

The other big discovery this week? Turns out, we have ourselves a security cat.
Yep.
Every now and then, when someone approaches that we haven’t spoken to yet, she growls. Not kidding. She actually lets out this low little warning growl like she’s letting us know, “Stranger danger.”

Didn’t plan for it.
Didn’t train her to do it.
But here we are. Guard cat mode: activated.

What’s the cost of playing it safe?

It’s more than just missing out on an opportunity.

It’s the weekends we don’t get to explore because we’re stuck working overtime just to catch up.

It’s the camping trips that never happen. The car project that sits unfinished. The jet ski collecting dust. The afternoons with friends we have to turn down because we’re too exhausted from work.

It’s the quiet moments with animals we love that get pushed aside because we’re out making someone else’s dream come true.

It’s the fire in your belly slowly burning out because you’re constantly trading your time for money and never quite getting ahead.

It’s the dreams you press pause on. The places you never get to see. The people you wish you had more time with.

It’s not just a missed chance. It’s your whole lifestyle on hold.

Before you say “maybe next year,” really ask yourself:

What is it costing you not to take the leap?

So you’ve seen we tackled the Old Telegraph Track… but clearly, we didn’t take the van with us 😅

So where did we leave it?

We ended up parking it safely at Hann River Roadhouse. It cost us just $5 a day for an unpowered site or $15 a day if you want power. It was super straightforward and easy since we were already staying there the night before heading off.

We made the call not to drag the van any further up the Cape. The corrugations from Hann River onwards can be pretty nasty and honestly, we just didn’t want to push it unnecessarily. But if you are comfortable towing on corrugations, another solid option is Bramwell Junction Roadhouse, which takes vans for a $25 donation to the RFDS.

Both spots are great. Our mates Nic and Cam left their van at Bramwell and had zero dramas. We felt just as confident leaving ours at Hann River. The team there were legends and we had no stress.

If you're heading up the Cape with a van and wondering what to do when it’s time for the OTT, this setup worked a treat for us.

P.S. Do not leave Hann River without trying one of their burgers after the Old Tele Track. It’s an absolute must-have.

Before we hit the road, life felt like a constant juggle. We were trying to save for the future while still finding time to live in the now. It always felt like something had to give.

Starting our online business was terrifying at first, but it gave us the freedom we had been craving. Now we are not just traveling, we are saving for our dream property, a little slice of acreage where we can settle down one day and build a mini farm.

Freedom does not come without effort, but it is always worth it. If you are curious how we made this happen, let’s chat!
