Life in the rainforest isn't necessarily what you might expect
Our latest blog post.
We have now been on Cape York (this time around) since June last year & will be here in the rainforest close to Lockhart River until after the next wet season. This is our latest Blog post.

Great read Cuppa, you certainly have to endure a lot of challenges but are rewarded some incredible experiences.
Chilli Beach is still one of my favourite places I have ever visited.

Wondering if an ‘Epilator’ could have somewhat hopefully helped Pedro Old Mate?

I sure wish those hair plucking out/rotating torture weapons were invented back in the early 80’s when I attempted to bring home forearms carrying full of Prickly Pears [emoji530]
Damn fine tiny needle things too kept driving into my body/belly/forearms for months afterwards but thankfully not poisonous like poor Pedro [emoji22]

Good interview, Cuppa. After 10 years of calling you that, I finally know your real name. You'll have to hide in the bat cave and emerge with a different persona. :]

Heard interview live on Friday afternoon while on Fraser Island. Plenty of tailor at present.
Well spoken Cuppa.

The time has come.`
We are now the legal owners of an OKA expedition vehicle - details later when we actually have posession of it. (Hopefully we'll be able to collect it in January).
So our Patrol & Tvan are up for sale.
Rather than create the longest post I've ever made here (& yes I know a few have been pretty long) I have created a blog post with extensive info & pics of what is a pretty unique, built for purpose combo.

It's taken a lot longer than we expected, but we are now back 'on the road', currently sweltering in SA. For anyone interested here a squiz inside (& out) of the OKA.

Good onya Cuppa. Hope you and Mrs T have years of enjoyable adventures in the OKA. What a beast!

I’ve had a good look at this beast in the flesh and it’s bloody impressive. The engineering is next level, yeap I’m jealous.
Only criticism I have is that I didn’t get to take it for a drive, but that was my own fault.
Enjoy Cuppa & Mrs Tea - living the dream.

A new blog post fresh off the printing press.
We've only been back on the road for 6 weeks & we have come to a stand still.
But we are enjoying it.

Mate, you gotta stop causing pandemics and floods each time you step into the outback:) I like the poptop style camper on the OKAs and thank you for the beautiful wildlife photography. I am looking forward to the next blog. Good luck with your trek into the unknown conditions north.
