How young parents ditched jobs sold home to travel around Australia |

A young mother-of-three who travels around Australia with her family full-time has revealed how others can do the same.

Kirby Gibbons, 29, and her husband decided to quit their jobs and sell the family farm in Tasmania 10 months ago, and have been on the road ever since.

The Gibbons family has already done a full lap of the country, and said adopting their new lifestyle is the best decision they have ever made.

Mrs Gibbons now runs a popular Facebook page called One Day We Should, where she shares photos and stories from her family’s journey.

‘We always said “one day we should visit here, one day we should do this, one day we should do that”,’ she told Escape.com.au.

‘Until we realised life is too short and we are not guaranteed tomorrow, so we sold our farm and all our possessions and downsized to living in a caravan.

‘We are now on the road full time exploring our huge backyard that is Australia. We have been on the road for 10 months so far and still have so much to see.’

So far the family have spent only $1,765.70 on accommodation, which at 303 days on the road works out to $5.80 a day – just over $1 per person (pictured are Mr and Mrs Gibbons)

One Day We Should’s tips and tricks for living cheaply on the road

1. Save over $100 a night by using WikiCamps to find free camps

2. Make a fuel map, as fuel is likely to be your biggest expense, so every cent saved counts. This can also save waiting time at busy service stations

3. Never use laundromats. Get a solar-powered on-board washing machine instead

4. Do your cooking on campfires as often as possible, this saves money on gas

5. Avoid buying meals or coffees

6. Buy grocery items in buly, especially before going to remote areas

7. Buy your milk and bread from small towns on the way

8. Buy your fruit and vegetables from farmers, markets or roadside stalls, to save money and get the freshest produce

9. Only buy cheap, dark clothing for the kids, dark-coloured fabrics last longer and are harder to ruin by staining

Being stuck in a confined space the family have had to learn lots of patience as there is nowhere to escape, she said.

When one of them is in a bad mood or tired they have to work as a team, learn how to get along better and know when to give each other alone time, she added.

As for the future, Mrs Gibbons said the family plan to continue life on the road indefinitely.
