This week we are preparing to spend a few nights at a Hipcamp in Brookton. This trip marks not just a weekend getaway but the beginning of a new chapter in our adventures. We’re hitting the road with our brand-new Isuzu D-Max, towing our trusty Mobi Nomad caravan—a perfect combination for what lies ahead.

After years of epic adventures in our old Nissan Patrol, which served us well but struggled with the demands of towing our caravan, we decided it was time for an upgrade. The D-Max promises more power and a smoother towing experience, making it the ideal companion for our future explorations around Australia. Its robust build and impressive towing capacity, will hopefully, offer peace of mind as we prepare for longer trips in the years to come.

Brookton, just an hour or so from Perth, and is known for its rich agricultural history and beautiful landscapes. Our plan is to take a leisurely drive, enjoying the scenic views along the way, and camp at cattle farm just west of the town.

We’ve spent the last few days packing up our Mobi caravan, making sure everything is just right for the journey. It’s amazing how much joy comes from organizing and personalizing our little home on wheels. From the essentials like cooking gear and bedding to the fun extras—games, books, and a few treats for the road—it’s all about making the trip comfortable and enjoyable.

While Brookton is our destination this time, it’s also a crucial part of our preparation for those bigger road trips we have planned. Each journey teaches us something new about our gear, our route planning, and what we truly need on the road. We’re excited to see how the D-Max performs under towing conditions and to get a feel for our caravan in various environments.

This trip is more than just a drive; it’s a chance to reconnect with nature, explore new places, and make lasting memories together. We’re ready for the open road, the unexpected detours, and the simple joys of camping under the stars.

Stay tuned as we document our journeys, sharing highlights, tips, and insights along the way. Here’s to new adventures in our Isuzu D-Max and Mobi Nomad caravan—let the travels begin!
