There are so many families with kids of all ages, being home schooled and travelling this fabulous country. And the seniors will be glad to help and give advice, if you ask. It's a grand lifestyle! I wish you happy and safe travelling and being a happy family.

[@joeywright1627]

Hey Christine, thanks so much

[@cathysunshine4445]

The best gift you can give to your family. The gift that keeps on giving.

[@georgewinters3191]

Good on you for doing it now, I am mid 60’s , worked all my life and one of those looking to hook the van up. Something I wished I had done earlier. Create as many memories as you can with your family , memories last forever 😊

[@joeywright1627]

Thanks George. Hope to see you out there.

[@wally1166]

Full credit to you guys for having a dream and following it to the rainbow enjoy every moment as memories are forever

[@lillybeth8567]

Love their spirit! Safe travels 🍻

[@obs2746]

Absolutely agree with their move. In my old job I saw several people die just as they started retirement and others leaving it too late to travel due to becoming frail. We are doing our earlier retirement at 60 with intent on still being capable. This family are living life and if they can financially do it, good on them, enjoy.

Good for you all! Your van looks amazing too. It is obvious you have a wonderful bond together as a family. Happy adventuring!

[@dinobloxs]

Well done and looking forward to seeing you on the road x

[@joeywright1627]

Definitely 🙌🙌

[@susannelangs8198]

Hi Guys. Love the story so far. You have definitley made the right decicion. The children will be educated way more than inside 4 walls. How many of us wished we were or had been in your shoes. I am 76 and always wanted to travel like you but being a single mum made it difficult. I wish you all the best and good luck. When things get a bit sticky , sit down and talk it out , there is always a solution. Most of all you all have a say in how you want to make the most of your travels. I do want to know where you had your caraven made. Like to know more about it. and yes Tamara just wake up in the morning and then just do to where the heart wishes. No need to plan. I did that in my younger days in Europe , Never knowing where you will end up is half the fun. Love to you and your family Susanne

[@joeywright1627]

Hey Susanne The caravan was made in Melbourne by Lotus. She’s a beast. Thanks for the positive response and words to wisdom. Really appreciated 🙌

[@bwrgb]

I met this family few times in Mildura, Victoria, Australia. Good luck with your journey.

[@adriantaylor741]

So envious guys. Enjoy 🙂

[@annegray800]

Best trip you can ever do! So much history out there and yes, work is easy! Congratulations and all the best xxxx

[@joeywright1627]

Much appreciated Anne 🙌

[@nigelmayer8061]

Brave, more power to your family.

[@jackchristodoulou197]

You can always buy another house but you guys will never forget the memories

[@JamesSpurway]

Good on you guys! Kids are resilient. They might experience anxiety initially but you are ABSOLUTELY spot on about them building life skills for the future. I look forward to a couple more installments of life on the road. Get ready for the deluge of interested followers on KZbin!

[@joeywright1627]

Thanks buddy 🙌

[@BabyPepperPotMay2009]

Would love to follow their travels on youtube...

[@brendanfoster7621]

Good on you. Live your life. There's so much to life than a house and a mortgage. Enjoy the adventure

[@shaunmcfarlane1356]

Are Tamara and Joey blogging/vlogging their journey? Would be great to follow their adventure and learnings. PS. I appreciate the thought into the van being 6"4'.

[@ultimobile]

Beautiful - I'm guessing the girls will become wonderful adaptable social animals able to deal with any new situation. Don't crash the van !

[@Wildernessadventuresoz]

How exciting. Kids will love it

[@scotthudson6181]

Absolutely the right decision.

[@andrewturk6562]

The winter is great

[@jasonwright9405]

Where do you mean?

[@joeywright1627]

Hey Andrew We are a fan of winter too, but living in a van now we can’t wait to chase the sun.

[@treefarm3288]

Good on you!

[@meggtokyodelicious]

Excelent move. Tons of people lost their houses due to flooding and inundation. According to Aussie news, floodings will continue for the next decade, so it's wiser to get a RV and be able to move away from dangerous areas without loosing personal belongings.

[@lmvcnn]

Life is not let kids born into schooling , trained and compete to be best slaves ,then sign up with bank, spend rest of your life until you sick years just pay your loans.

[@alexlanning712]

All the best

[@Celeste-in-Oz]

great van! the kids are learning to embrace uncertainty and explore options. I can't see what's more important in a world where job security is history, and technology, culture and climate are changing faster than traditional education systems can adapt.. There's a massive & growing alternative-schooling community now! As for you, I expect you'll find very interesting ways to earn money - much more satisfying than the beaten path.

[@arttyboo5923]

Why Not get out there where the sky feels like its sitting on your shoulder

[@-Bigjordan]

living in caravan parks is awesome enjoy

[@davidskinner274]

Sounds god to me.. good on them, wish them every success

[@sidboraus6151]

[@cherokeetearstrail]

Judy BLume, excellent author!! Read TIGER EYES AND THEN Watch the video. TATANKA Means is in it also a few cameos of his father in bed. He died a few days after the finish of the film. I believe you can find on line the utube of this! After raising 11 children, 7 by birth and 4 by adoption I have traveled with animals, cats and 100# dog in a VERY small rv. Best of luck❤️🎶🎶
