Here’s what Kerry and James wrote on their survey when returning their Chubby van: “We have hired Jucy & Spaceship and this van was heaps better, well laid out & equipped. Graphics are great too!” What can we add to that!?!? Thanks for the compliment guys

Their story

We arrived in Perth and made our way to the Travellers Auto Barn depot to pick up our new home on wheels for the next three weeks! A converted Mitsubishi Express with really cool Sandman graphics which caught everyone’s attention – including several curious Emu – (a later Google search revealed that the Holden Sandman was a very cool retro panel-van launched in the 1970‘s, popular with surfers), called a Chubby Camper it seemed well turned out and equipped!

In our Chubby we drove through the red dirt landscape of the Pilbara, snorkelled in the turquiose waters of the Ningaloo Marine Park on the Coral Coast, fed the dolphins from the beach in beautiful Monkey Mia, explored the rugged gorges of the spectacular Kilbarri National Park, strolled around the picturesque Margaret River and swam in the refreshing waters of Greens Pool near in the South West, enjoyed the breweries of the lovely Fremantle and of course the obligatory AFL match at the Subiaco Oval in Perth.

We enjoyed our time in Western Australia which to us is more of what we expected of Australia with its red dirt roads, sparsely populated small isolated towns, pristine coastline, roaming wildlife and lovely weather – waking every day to blue skies, temperatures in the thirties, low humidity and no rain!! Not forgetting our awesome travelling mobile, our Chubby Sandman!
