Adventure with Kids Just because we have kids (and a dog) in tow, it doesn't mean we can't travel. Our dream trip is travelling around Australia for 12 months. Will it happen?

We have three kids and a dog. And a nice house in a nice suburb with a comfortable existence. But what we'd love to do is travel. Particularly, we have dreamed for years about packing it all up and heading off for a trip around Australia. Rent out the house, home-school the kids, and just circumnavigate this awesome country we live in. This page (and our website) is about that trip which we are go

ing to make happen. At the moment, we are not exactly sure about the details, but why wait? On Mothers Day 1985, with my mum and dad and two siblings, as well as my uncle and aunt, left on a dream adventure - travelling Australia for six months. I would love to replicate that journey, so we've set a target date for our departure as Mothers Day 2015 - exactly thirty years later from when I took off on my first "adventure of a lifetime"...
We'd love for you to join us on our journey, and if you have ideas and advice we'd love to hear from you!

There's no arguing with the fact that the Leaning Tower of Pisa is a pretty amazing sight. But, as it turns out, sometimes tourists can create a pretty cool sight themselves as long as they have some trolling skills. Imgur user savidiot is one of those people

I wish I had this shirt when I was in Afghanistan. In 2009, we were situated in a little Observation Post somewhere in Kandahar for a week or two at a time, with nothing but rations to fill our bellies. After many days and much elaborate drawing, I finally managed to communicate to a local Afghan Na…

Travel booking site, Luxury Escapes, has compiled a list of quirky and unusual places to visit, from a treehouse in the middle of the Daintree rainforest, to glamping on a rooftop in Melbourne’s CBD, and even a wilderness retreat on top of Australia’s deepest lake in Tasmania.

Near Melbourne, there are many great walking tracks that are within easy reach of a car park or public transport. Here are some of our favourites.

Dig a Dakota Fire Hole // By T. Edward Nickens

Native Americans used a Dakota fire hole to hide cooking fires from their enemies. Turns out that these small pits also consume less wood while burning hotter than open fires. Plus, they excel in windy conditions and provide a great platform for cooking. The fire hole works by drawing fresh air into the combustion chamber. Hot air rises from the hole, creating a draft that draws air through the vent and into the base of the fire. The cycle is self-­sustaining, and digging the vent on the upwind side of the fire hole helps suck up the breeze like the air scoop on the Bandit’s Trans Am. Here’s how to dig one.

1. Dig the fire chamber. Excavate a pit 1 foot in diameter and 1 foot deep. Now widen the base of the chamber a few inches so it has a juglike shape. This lets you burn larger pieces of wood.

2. Dig the air tunnel. Start a foot away from the edge of the chamber, on the upwind side, and carve out a molelike tunnel 5 or 6 inches in diameter, angling down toward the base of the fire chamber.

3. Build your fire in the chamber and top the hole with a grate or green saplings stout enough to hold a pot over the flames.
