To start our Prep Year before our Gap Year, we took Milton out to Riley’s Run so we could wake up on the 1^st of January and start 2023 in our van. As beautiful as you think Riley’s Run is, it is at a friend’s property, so unfortunately, you won’t be able to stay there. Unless you make friends with them of course!

We spent New Year’s afternoon sitting on the edge of the picturesque Tinana Creek with a few cool beverages and some very cool friends. We then saw in the new year with the most delicious charcuterie board, some rounds of the Fishbowl Game (it’s a guessing game, not a swingers thing) and some really bad singing to some really awesome songs.

Waking up in our new van surrounded by nature in the new year was a treat. At that moment, I knew that we had made the right decision to spend more time exploring our beautiful country. I am very excited to see what our Prep Year brings while we learn how to drive Betsy and Milton so that we can have our Gap Year in 2024.

Lessons Learned

• Make sure you check all the trees around you before attempting to turn your caravan around
  • Else, you may end up hitting a tree and hurting your van
• We actually aren’t too old to stay up past midnight as previously thought
