Most of our touring in Australia to date has been on the east coast of Australia as well as trips to Carnarvon Gorge, the Birdsville Track and the National Parks in the Northern Territory on the way to Darwin.
We spent October through December 2016 touring Tasmania which included taking car and van from Melbourne to Devenport on the “Spirit of Tasmania” car ferry for about 10 weeks of freedom camping.
For our 2017-2018 European Tour we flew by Qantas to Heathrow on March 7 2017, picked up a one-way rental car and drove to Stafford where our motorhome had been kept in secure storage by Michael Steers from UKmotorhomefinder. who found the motorhome and arranged the purchase for us.
We had a few months at home after the 2017-18 European Tour before we booked out next flight from Brisbane to Frankfurt on March 21, 2020.
With the help of friends Ralf and Martina from Stelzenberg, Germany, we began looking for our next motorhome, in earnest.
They found a really great Mobilvetta “A” class motorhome in Frankfurt, with the added bonus that it was fully fitted out with all the accessories and utensils we could possibly need for an extended European tour.
They picked the motorhome up for us by the end of January 2020 and put it into storage at their home.
Of course COVID19 struck and we weren’t able to fly to Frankfurt in March 2020 as planned.
After further false starts we finally rebooked again to leave Brisbane on March 7, 2021 thinking that the COVID problems would be all sorted out by then.
March 7 2021 approached and we left our decision as long as possible and finally cancelled that trip and sold the Mobilvetta.
2022 came and went and we still weren’t able to get to Europe.
We have now booked flights from Brisbane to Frankfurt in early March 2025 and our friends from Stelzenberg, Ralf and Martina have sourced another Hymer motorhome for our next trip.
