Don’t miss the stunning Redbank Gorge when you visit the West MacDonnell Ranges. We decided to air-down on the way in as the road was a bit rough, but whether you need to do the same will just depend on the condition of the road at the time. It was also way too cold to swim on our visit.

‘The walk in took a little more effort than we had planned, but the reward was hard to beat. Blake took one for the team and braved the freezing water swimming right into the gorge 🫣

Happy to stay on the rocks for this one 😅’

A great spot! Campsite bookings via the website.

📍Porcupine Gorge, QLD

‘Just 45 minutes out of Hughenden is this spectacular natural beauty.

We can’t believe how quiet this place was. There was still plenty of spots to camp right in at the National Park or at the free camp back at Hughenden.

580 steps of scaling rocks and dirt paths, the average time is 45 minutes down - we took an hour with 3 kids (and lots of stops to look at bugs & rocks).

We then ventured to the bottom of the pyramid, past rocks pools and a running stream to find a beautiful gorge for swimming & a picnic.

Absolutely recommend adding this spot to your bucket list. We rate it up there with Carnarvon Gorge.’

Our biggest disappointment when visiting Kakadu was missing this place 😩 It was shut at the time and you’d best believe it’s on our bucket list to tick off one day!

📍Jim Jim Falls, Kakadu National Park, NT

Just like our popular Map of Australia stickers, our State Map stickers keep things nice & simple - detailed enough to show towns, highways, and National Parks, but clean enough to pop on your caravan, fridge or esky without taking over.

Designed & printed right here in Australia 💕🇦🇺

11 years ago, somewhere on an Aussie highway with two little girls asleep in the back seat, a big idea was born… 🚐

We couldn’t find an Australian-made Kids Travel Journal… so we decided to create one ourselves.

What started as TWO books around our kitchen table turned into:

👉 Thousands of travelling families...
👉 TV appearances & magazine spreads...
👉 Award-winning Aussie-made products...
👉 Hundreds of stockists...
👉 An incredible caravanning community...
👉 A business we still pinch ourselves over every single day...

There were plenty of moments where we wondered…

“Will people actually love these?”

“Can this really work?”

“Are we completely crazy?” 😅

But here we are… 11 years later!

Those two little girls in the back seat are all grown up now, and we are so incredibly grateful to every single person who supported Caravanning with Kids along the way.

Every order.
Every share.
Every kind message.
Every family who packed our books for their adventures.

Thank you for backing Aussie made, regional business and this wild little dream of ours...

Here’s to the next chapter of the adventure… 🚐
