The Dixon Family Travels
Join us as we adventure Around the corner and across the world
We're the Dixon Family...and we like to travel
From when we first met, my husband Tony and I did a lot of camping (including three trips across Australia with my dog, a ute, a tent, an airbed and a gas cooker). Then we upgraded to a borrowed caravan. And then we bought our own caravan.
Since then, our baby girl Gemma has come on the scene.
We went on our first caravan trip when Gemma was just four weeks old. And I’ve realised that people don’t often travel with babies…and there aren’t many resources online about travelling with a baby (and definitely not for travelling with a baby and a caravan) for people like me who like to plan.
So, here you’ll find stories from our travels, along with tips and tricks we’ve picked up along the way.

Wheatbelt Rocks (granite lumps, not grungy music)
The Wheatbelt has a few big-name locations - think Wave Rock and the Pinnacles. And they are both awesome spots to visit. But there are also many other amazing rock formations to explore...some that are perhaps even more impressive. Wheatbelt springtime rock tour...
White Gum Farm Caravan Park – Review
If you're looking for a great weekender from Perth (or in our case, Northam), White Gum Farm just outside of the Wheatbelt heritage mecca of York ticks a lot of boxes for families and couples alike. You could describe White Gum Farm as nature-based camping with all...
