Young Sheps in Sydney

This week, I was re-united with relatives, late Gen X / early Gen Y (thirty somethings) couple and their three children, who stopped in to Sydney for a week as part of a three year mission to travel Australia.

Packed in plenty during a quick Sydney visit, but
back on the bus tomorrow

"It's been my dream since before we were married," Ted told me.

This remarkable couple are about seven months in to their adventure, and stop where work opportunities arise, while soaking up so much of what Australia offers.

Ted has a farming background and a trade (fitter and turner), and as such, offers unbelievable value to anyone who happens gain his services. He's currently working with a farmer somewhere between Young and Cootamundra.

What a joy to spend some time with these guys, as they pursue their great adventure, lovingly lead and teach their children (6, 8 and 9) through life lessons - as well as the online school - and create lifelong memories.

Not Bali, Europe or South America for these Gen Ys, but a journey of a lifetime and discovery around the most desirable travel destination in the world. For this young family though, they've decided to take  the time to smell the grass, dirt, sand, cities and anything else that takes their fancy.

And it's all getting captured and shared via blog by Kylie. It turns out that you can get anywhere from Cummins.


If you see a big red bus, custom fitted out by Ted, and towing a troopy called Hector, it might be the Sheps, so take a moment and say G'day.


Thanks so much for stopping by. Safe travels, great jobs and many happy days to the young Sheps.
