Cloverleaf Corriedale Stud
CLOVERLEAF CORRIEDALE STUD Sam and I met Ronelle and James, a warm and generous couple at a farm clearing sale near Melbourne. Since it was Sam’s and my fist ever auction together, we of course got a bit of the auction fever. We bought more cool old stuff than we could possibly strap onto Bluey, to be stashed away for … Read More

Home Sweet Home
Home Sweet Home After being on the road for nearly 4 months, Clara and I thought it was about time to give a little tour of our mobile happiness machine, Bluey. He’s not a home away from home, a temporary dwelling, or a reality escape mobile, he is it, our lovely abode, our grand residence, home sweet home. Starting life as a 1975 FJ40 short wheelbase Toyota Landcruiser, once in our possession, Bluey was chopped and changed to become the ultimate 4×4 touring machine. Longer chassis, ute … Read More
I Can’t Believe It’s Actually Working!!!
I Can’t Believe It’s Actually Working!!! I still can’t believe its actually working. To explore Australia whilst only spending our time to cover distance was always the plan.
