Wales was on our destination list for one main reason; the walking. After leaving Nat and Dom in Penzance we headed north to Wales, first staying in the south to do a walk in Brecon Beacons National Park. Brecon Beacons is where the British SAS Commandos are based, although our adventure was more scenic and less Bear Grylls. After a […]

The Journey Begins
After a very long planning and gestation phase, our grand adventure through Europe, UK, North Africa and Turkey has begun! We left Australia on Friday 1 July on a flight to London, where we saw Jan’s daughter Natalie and her partner Dom for the first time since 2018. Nat and Dom live and work in London, and we spent the […]
Europe – Here we come!
The Grand Tour of Europe is about to begin! After putting international travel on hold for a couple of years, and substituting our land-based adventure from Melbourne to Cairns last year, we have at last activated the big trip to Europe and beyond. The tickets are booked for 1 July, and nothing will stop us now. Well, unless another plague […]
Better late than never!
It has been a long time between posts, so our apologies for being so late to finish the final story from our adventure from Melbourne to Cairns. The last story for the trip is below, and tells of some great stays at Townsville, Paluma Dam, Undara Volcanic Area, Mission Beach and our final destination of Cairns. We’ve been living in […]
Travelling North
It has been a long time between posts, but that isn’t because we haven’t had anything to say. Rather, we’ve been seeing and doing so much that we haven’t had much time to stop, edit the photos and write the stories from all the places we have been. Our last post closed off with a story about our wonderful stay […]
Three weeks in Southeast Queensland
Our journey has taken us into southeast Queensland over the last three weeks. The weather has been a little warmer, although it’s still winter here too. We’ve explored areas around the Sunshine Coast and its hinterland. While we were there we caught up with some more old friends before moving a little further north to the coast around Fraser Island […]
Travelling Along the NSW Coast
After our chilly interlude in the mountains, trying to get to the top of Australia’s highest mountain, our journey then took us back to the coast, and hopefully some warmer weather. The next stage of our travels was through New South Wales. We started with a fantastic day walk from Gerringong, along the Kiama Coastal Trail, then did a few […]
The High Country
We are almost two weeks into our road adventure to Far North Queensland. We have made it to the NSW Central Coast, via some very remote roads through the High Country in East Gippsland and the Southern Highlands of NSW. We have managed to fit in a lot so far, refining some of our set up and doing a few […]
We’re off!
Well, the time has come. After all our planning and packing up and setting up what will be our mobile home for the next few weeks, today we depart for the three-month journey up the east coast of Australia. We’ll be exploring lots of places along the way, and hoping to find a place or two that we can retire […]
The Adventure Begins
With the pandemic curtailing travel, and for those of us living through 2020 in Melbourne, some pretty long and severe lockdowns, the Walk the World website hasn’t had the attention that we had planned for it. We’ve managed a couple of posts in the last year by creating stories of some trips we’ve taken over the last few years, but […]
More South America
You would have thought that with all the enforced time we have during the lockdowns we would have managed to publish a few more of our past travel stories in the last couple of months. It’s amazing how busy it seems when there really isn’t anything to do. Well, we have produced three more stories from our trip to Peru […]
COVID19 Update
Hello everyone. We were due to fly to London on 21 April. 2020 to begin a 3-month adventure through Europe. But, like many thousands of others, we’ve had to cancel everything. Fortunately, we’ve been able to get refunds or credits for almost all our bookings. Now our thinking turns towards what will replace it when travel begins again. The new […]
Weekend at Launceston Festivale
In February 2020 we travelled to Launceston for Festivale, Tasmania’s premier food, wine, and entertainment event. Held in Launceston’s City Park over three days, it features a continuous program of music, comedy, and cooking shows on four stages. (www.festivale.com.au) We discovered this event almost by accident last year and enjoyed it so much that, not only did we come back, […]
Europe 2020 Itinerary
Europe here we come………… Update: Those with an eye for dates will notice that this trip was planned before the 2020 Covid19 lockdowns. Of course, it was cancelled, or rather, deferred for a couple of years. It became our Grand Adventure, 13 months through the UK, Europe, Egypt, Jordan, and Turkey. See all the posts from July 2022 to travel […]
