Duck-Billed Platypuses in the Wild! Atherton Tablelands, Australia
One of our missions while caravanning Down Under is to see as much indigenous wildlife as we can... in the wild, not a zoo or sanctuary, whenever possible. So we were thrilled to find platypus! (turns out that the correct plural for platypus is either platypuses or just platypusand not platypi).
We also drove the Millaa Millaa Waterfalls Circuit to see Millaa Millaa Falls, Zillie Falls, and Ellinjaa Falls.
Our awesome stop for the night was Malanda Falls Caravan Park, where you can walk right over to the falls, or hang with the cutest baby animals!

If you're planning an RV trip to Australia or New Zealand, we loved our Maui campervan!
We're sharing every aspect of our 2,700-kilometer drive from the Great Barrier Reef to Sydney. We'll compare the systems on our campervan to North American RVs, experience a mix of Holiday Parks and Free Camping and of course we'll feature the famous beauty and hospitality of Oz.

Full-Time RVers since April, 2003, we share DIY (do it yourself) RV maintenance, repair, travel, upgrade and operational tips & tricks.
Many RVers are eager to learn more about using, maintaining and caring for their rigs. We hope our experience can help others go DIY, saving time & money, plus the satisfaction of a job well done.
We're handy RVers, not professional technicians. We're happy with the techniques and products we use, but be sure to confirm that all methods and materials you use are compatible with your equipment and abilities.
