It was about a year ago when Stafford’s company he worked for went into liquidation and he was left without a job…again! Our son Karl, his sister Jonell and cousin Tiare were working in the shearing sheds around Broken Hill with their Uncle Lewis (shearing is a family thing) when Karl suggested that Dad come work in the shearing sheds until he found another job. Stafford eagerly took up the challenge for 3 months. The rest of the family joined him for a 2 week holiday and that experience planted the seed of an outback adventure for the family.
Stafford soon found work back on the Gold Coast and we spent the rest of the year planning and preparing for this trip.
Here’s some highlights from last years 2 week trial run!
