Our guest speaker this month is Lynne Kendal, a past SWIC President and member since 2007. Hear how Lynne and her husband Brian cast themselves adrift for 21 months doing ‘THE LAP’ around Australia in their luxury caravan with a focus on life outside of the major cities.

With no previous caravanning experience and equipped only with the desire to understand more about Australia as a country, they had to quickly adapt from city apartment living to caravan life on the road.

Today’s talk is how it all came together, and more importantly the geographical wonders, wildlife, aboriginal art and other personal experiences during this full-time extended caravan odyssey. Places you will have heard of and many that you haven’t, from the Pacific to Indian Oceans, from the Tasmania wilderness to the wonders of Kakadu, the Kimberley and the wide expanses of the Nullabor.

Join Lynne swimming with the whale sharks at Ningaloo Reef, walk through the Painted Hills of South Australia, be amazed by the stunning wildflowers of the west and the seafood along the way.
Lynne promises to limit the talk to 15 minutes which will probably be a bigger challenge than the trip itself.
