Our Story

Devils Marbles - July 2019

Cameron and Alison connected through their love of adventure, and passion for the outdoors, camping and exploring.

Having a family didn't come easy, but after eight years their prayers were answered when IVF blessed them with their daughter Keira.

Ten months later they were surprised to discover they were pregnant again, and shocked to learn their second blessing came as a pair.

Identical Twins Mia & Savannah completed the Lyons family in 2018, and turned their travel dreams into reality.

With Cameron’s work taking him across Australia for weeks at a time they didn't want him to miss out on seeing their girls grow up.

Caught between financial stability and quality family moments, they were desperate for a 'everyone wins' solution, and started discussing their dreams of travelling Australia.

Devils Marbles - July 2019

Two weeks after their twins were born they ventured to the Sydney Caravan & Camping Show where they traded in their camper trailer for a 2017 Jayco Outback Basestation caravan.

Four weeks later their caravan was hooked up to their 2017 Ford Ranger and they were on their way to Lorella Springs NT to make the most of their parental leave. The quality family time left them wanting more and it wasn't long before they were selling up to explore more.

In December 2018 they hit the road on their 12month adventure, and had the most amazing trip. Challenging at times, but all the best things are.

With full-time employment waiting in Brisbane they commenced plans to relocate and find a new home early 2020, but struggled to part with the travelling lifestyle. After only a few weeks they decided to leave it all behind, again, and hit the road with no end date in sight.

During their time on the road they learned how much outback towns struggled to find workers. With Cameron's building experience and Alison's financial and customer service experience, plus a need for a small income to keep their travelling life going, they hatched a plan to upgrade to an ex-fire truck, retrieve Cameron's tools that were stored back in Sydney and now travel to work and work to travel.

Their daughters now school-aged are homeschooled on the road, registered with HEU QLD, but you really can't beat the life skills, unique experiences and daily learning opportunities travel offers.
