I’ve always loved where I’ve lived. Most of that time it’s been living on the road out of an old green army bag. At least that’s how it started over thirty years ago when I first hit the road and went West.
Home for me, has always been Australia. After travelling, living and working in almost every Australian state over that time I was extremely grateful that as Covid-19 closed our country down, fate had me literally a days drive from home. My home town and close community is in the Limestone Coast of South Australia.
Had Covid-19 occurred 12 months earlier we would have been 3,100kms away. I feel for the other nomads who found themselves that distance or further away from their home towns or families. For the others who live permanently on the road that chose to make the mad dash and drive for up to ten days straight to cross Australia to reach their destinations. Then the travelers who literally have no base to return to, may they all have found safe havens to hunker down in.
After almost two months in isolation, living in our motorhome in my parents driveway, South Australian Covid-19 rules have been relaxed to include being able to travel again in our own state.
I realise looking at the world currently that we have been extremely lucky in South Australia so far.
The disease has been devastating causing great suffering but I’m heartened to hear people stating the positives it has given them as life has slowed down.
Spending more time with family members, getting to know the neighbours and being more present to the people around us. Local food and produce is better, local businesses providing great service and that our local natural environment could match many beautiful destinations in the world.
When the borders open again we will be on the road to visit family in other states and bring you more of Australia.
But for now, stay safe and enjoy these photos we have taken in our home state, South Australia.
