3 MONTHS ON THE ROAD 🚐 When I was writing down

3 MONTHS ON THE ROAD 🚐
When I was writing down a list of things I wanted to do and achieve this year (yep, I actually do that), I included "live in my van for at least 3 months continuously". Mostly because my attempts of #vanlife last year always seemed to be cut short by lockdowns and even when I left in January this year I had to go home for lockdown after 6 weeks.

I'm feeling pretty privileged that I've been able to tick this off my 2021 list already. I know a lot of Australia is back in lockdown again and feeling very frustrated at the never-ending ups and downs of life during a pandemic. But here in the Northern Territory, life seems to just go on almost normally at the moment.

I thought 3 months was a pretty good amount of time to figure out if living in a van was for me. Obviously, me and the ol' Toyota are going pretty strong at the moment. I'm pretty happy with the slow pace of life on the road (both, figuratively and literally because this van is SLOW), plus outback Australia is one very special place. Anyway, we've got another few months together yet, before I start to dream pretty hard about a slightly bigger van, perhaps for 2022 and beyond. But I mean, who really knows at this point?

Bit of a scramble to get up here, but all worth it

Bit of a scramble to get up here, but all worth it in the end. I had a bit of a sprained knee from a fall the day before and I'd already done a short walk earlier in the day, but I still managed to climb my way up here in the late afternoon light. While I love a bit of scrambling on a hike, this one did get a bit hairy at the very end and of course, you have to get back down the same way 😅 maybe that's why they call it Devils Peak!
Do you enjoy some rock scrambling while hiking? Or prefer to avoid the mini heartattacks that come with trying to find your footing down a steep rock face... 🙃

The Ikara-Flinders Ranges, land of the Adnyamathan

The Ikara-Flinders Ranges, land of the Adnyamathanha people, and one of the most incredible landscapes you'll likely ever see.

Look at you standing tall and strong on the top of the summit. But only you know what it took to get there.

The bursts of pain from the sprained knee haunting you from a fall during a hike the week before. The burning sensation in your muscles after the endless scramble upwards. The heaving lungs and trickles of sweat from the physical exertion of the climb. A face covered in a thin layer of dust, as you wipe your nose with your sleeve. The battle with the ego that says you should be able to go faster and higher. But it all fades away when you get there. You're still smiling.
Nothing else really matters but the single feeling of awe. The feeling of triumph and smallness, simultaneously. The elation of reaching the top, and yet the humbling realisation that we are all tiny in comparison to this great earth. We may reach the tops of many mountains but we are only ever conquering ourselves, never the landscapes and natural environment in which we walk. But that is precisely the beauty of it in the first place.

Driving through the Ikara-Flinders Ranges National

Driving through the Ikara-Flinders Ranges National Park in South Australia. It's got to be one of my favourite places in the world, this landscape completely blew me away from the moment I got there until the day I left weeks later.
If you've never considered going there or perhaps not even heard of it before, start planning your trip! For keen hikers, 4x4 drivers, photographers, geologists and anyone else, it's a special place. I'm almost done publishing all my guides to the Flinders Ranges on my blog, so hop on over to check them out ✌
