Would you like to take your children travelling around Australia?

I agree, 'Are We There Yet?', is a great book for kids which inspires us to slow down and explore Australia's vast, wild spaces. We'd definitely love to "do the lap", taking time to stop wherever we choose, living close to nature and meeting colorful locals along the way. I believe the outdoor classroom of life is a great learning space for children of all ages and would set them up with adventurous skills for life.

Yes I sure would have loved too have done it.

I didn't really have much in the way of holidays as I grew up, that was for kids whose families had money.We were very poor.
I can see the real value for everyone, doing it this way.

I love the picture!!!

thanks :) I love it too

I like the idea of going off on school holidays to travel around a bit, but not of pulling the kids out of school to do it long term. I don't want to disrupt their education.

by Sarah Bell

Yes, I would love to.When I was a kid we use to travel a lot during our vacations.

We took our daughter out of school for 6 weeks. Without a sibling companion I feel that was long enough.

We did a long family holiday in a caravan when I was 9 and my brother was 7. I think it was for a couple of months. It was fabulous. Neighbours just went travelling with 3 children for 8 months and they had a wonderful time. They had "school" on the way but as time went on they did less and less. Everyone caught up within a term on their return. What the children learned and experienced on the way can't be taught at school.

Certainly not. Fur babies, yes.

Did many camping weekend trips with kids. That was the level of their 'attentiveness'!

We spent a month 'on the road' going to various National Parks in NSW & SA. Loved it all. Flew to Perth. 'Indian Pacific' back to SA, then by road home. Petrol was 17c/litre then, but it still was our greatest expense the whole trip, totalling $1000! Camping total was $36!

Had Hotel stay in Perth & Adelaide, which was great to be in a bed with sheets, for a change after a month in sleeping bags!

Celebrated slap-up meal at 'Ayer's House' for 5th Wedding Anniversary, in Adelaide. 'Pheasant Under Glass' & beautiful Wolf Blass Grey Label wine!

Had plans to do repeat, but, alas, it was never to be! Such is life..............
