THE WALLABY TRACK WITH LIONEL MUSSELL
WHAT A BEAUTY !
HOW TO BRING EVERYTHING , INCLUDING THE KITCHEN SINK …
You often hear people say that they have brought everything except the kitchen sink but I believe Austin and Caroline Smith have really brought their kitchen sink with them in their spacious bus / motorhome .
The rig is nowadays their home on wheels and when I asked them where they live , they replied , “ Wherever we stop for the night !”
They are full-timers on the road these days but lived on a six-acre property near the Queensland Sunshine Coast before taking to the bitumen .
They bought their 1987 fully fittedout Mitsubishi Fuso bus about three years ago and , having done a few modifications , it now looks new inside and out . They owned a Leyland motorhome 23 years back so they are no strangers to the RV lifestyle , although this time they are doing it without family .
The bus is quite long so there are two air-conditioners – one up front and another in the bedroom . There ' s a queen bed in the bedroom and lots of drawers .
The spacious shower / toilet room is as big as mine at home ! Nothing is lacking in this motorhome and that includes two comfortable arm chairs that are adjusted electrically .
The cupboards are beautifully finished and include a bottle rack over the fridge , with wine glasses in a nearby cupboard .
Austin used to be a maritime engineer and spent years with little to see besides the sea . They are certainly making up for that these days .
With another trailer and a boat , plus a little Suzuki Grand Vitara as a run-around on the19ft trailer , there are endless spots for Austin and Caroline to explore in this wide land .
