Between May 2008 and April 2009, Clare, Rob and Olive travelled around Australia in a VW Transporter Camper Van (a follow up to our around the world trip in 2005). This time there was three of us, as our family has now expanded with our bundle of joy, Olive. You can see our complete journey on this map.
