In January 2016, Nathan and Renee Helms did what many of us dream about but can never seem to bring ourselves to do: they packed up their lives, abandoned the 9-5 lifestyle and hit the road with a ute and a Cub camper trailer. With Melbourne in the rear-view mirror and the highway stretching across the horizon ahead of them, they set out with the goal of seeing everything that this great country has to offer. It’s been two and a half years since their departure from the daily grind and in that time, their four-year-old son Ryan has seen more of Australia than many of us may see in our lifetimes. They’ve also gained an impressive following on social media, with over 36,000 followers on Facebook who are all tagging along for the ride, enjoying a virtual journey across the country.
