Lockdown, a Car and a Caravan

So, quarantine/lockdown. This next part you can probably all relate to. Sit at home, kids do schoolwork et cetera, et cetera. Fortunately, we had a spacious bush holiday house to isolate in, even if we had wanted to stay home, our house had been rented because we planned to be away for this year.

There was no shortage of jobs to do up the bush, as we don’t usually spend too long there. We shifted wood, installed underfloor insulation, lit fires and did some gardening. As well as physical jobs we had to find Dad a new car online, we were looking for a Ford Ranger and after a lot of trawling through car websites I found the one we ended up buying.

After a month or so up the bush, Mum and Dad started to go a bit crazy, they needed something else to do. Mum started looking at houses to buy as you were allowed to move around for real estate. She eventually decided against that idea.

“What about a caravan?” Mum asked Dad,

“No” replied Dad.

Two days later, we’re looking at caravan websites and caravan sales yards. In the end, we bought a 2015 Jayco Expanda. After buying the van we got very excited, we bought all kinds of accessories for it. Coupling locks, wheel clamps, a shower and many other gadgets.

On the 11^th of June, we left in our van (after a few complications in the car, van braking system and the drive shaft). Our first stop, a free campsite on the Snowy River.
