Strickland's Loopy Lap of OZ

Strickland's Loopy Lap of OZ We are a family of 5 taking a break and doing a lap of our backyard, Australia. I guess it is a Gap year tour taking our 3 boys on a lifetime adventure

A little bit about us ? We are a family of 5 , Me ( Blake ) my wife Sue, our 3 sons Luke ( 11), Jarred (9) and Ryan ( 5). After years of running the urban life on the treadmill full time and running the school rituals of daily life we sat up and had a thought one night over a glass of wine, we should just get up and go somewhere for a year !. YIKES well guess what thats what we are doing. With the

age of the boys we decided it was now or wait till they finish school in 12 yrs time ! With that thought - we purchased a second hand family van, 2012 Jayco Stacraft outback 22.68-1 OB- from a family who had ironed out the bugs in it. Equipped with the triple bunks for the boys. With our touches to "Jeff the Jayco" we have made it our home ready to set off clockwise around our beautiful country and give our family a trip and memory of a lifetime. We consider ourselves as "young Nomads" with myself being 45 and Sue being .... ( I want to make it to 46 :) lets say a lot younger than me !! So our jouney being inJanuary 2015 after a short trip to Busselton W.A on a plane for Xmas then back home to Brisbane where our new advernture begins. Follow our journey here as we share our experiences and adventures

To remind us of our trip we went in search of a special piece of art work that reflected everything we loved on the adventure. We came across a local artist Vanessa Perske who painted this beautiful quirky emu called "Sticky Beak". Well he now sits proudly in full view to remind us of the fun, colours of Australia, people we met and of course the 100's of emus we came across. It also fits in perfectly with the Loopyness.
So thank you Vanessa it is PERFECT
