Out n About 2021
Travels during 2021
As 2020 comes to an end, it’s time to look forward to making new memories. While COVID-19 will still restrict our travel plans, we’re lucky to be living in Australia, where we can still enjoy many of the things that make this country great.
This year, we’re planning to explore Queensland without crossing any borders. We’ve always wanted to see more of this beautiful state, and now is the perfect time to start. We’ve sold our unit in Rainbow Beach and loaded up our 4WD, so we’re ready to hit the open road.
We’re excited to explore the many different landscapes that Queensland has to offer, from the beaches of the Gold Coast to the rainforests of the Daintree. We’re also looking forward to meeting new people and learning about the unique cultures of this state.
We know that COVID-19 will still be a factor in our travels, but we’re confident that we can still have a safe and enjoyable time. We’re planning to stay in small towns and avoid crowded areas. We’ll also be sure to follow all public health guidelines.
We’re looking forward to a year of adventure and discovery. We can’t wait to share our experiences with you, so stay tuned for updates!
