Jane is a middle aged hipster and Sydney-based writer, blogger and professional communicator. She co-owns a 1962 Sunliner retro-modern styled caravan - a perfect little hideaway for short escapes with her artist husband, Justin Robson, and their fur-baby Boo Boo the toy poodle. A storyteller at heart, Jane is interested is the issues of ageing and seeks to make a positive difference in the lives of others, particularly our elders.
I’d been dreaming about buying a caravan for many years, and it took me a long time to twist my husband’s arm into getting one. He didn’t grow up going on holidays in caravans – he had more of a lodge/hotel room experience. During my first marriage, we camped in tents not being able to … More Finding bliss

Since we purchased Little Lucy we have deliberated about what sort of tow car we should get. There has been much discussion (read argument) about the type of car. Considerations were: Needs to be in the 1960s (the era of our 1962 Sunliner). Needs to be in fairly good condition (we know nothing about mechanical … More A Little Pony: tow car
We had loads of fun at the 2016 Vintage Caravan Nationals at South West Rocks. So many beautiful vans, tenderly restored and very much loved. But it was the amazing tow cars that stole my heart. They complete the picture and appropriately honour the old vans.

Leaving at the crack of dawn in their little dinghy full of stinky burley and bait. Burley is a mixture of fish entrails which are … More Sussex Inlet with The Fam
We stayed at Budgewoi Holiday Park from Boxing Day to January 4th 2016. The park is covered in lots of trees which provide cool shade during the day and the sites are large and grassy. It is on the lake, and was perfect for our recently purchased Old Town canoe. Boo Boo wasn’t too keen … More Budgewoi for xmas
We attended our first vintage caravans meet up in Shellharbour last weekend. It was wonderful checking out the other caravans. So many shapes, sizes and ages. Some like to keep their vans completely original, others like to update them. Everyone has them because its fun. Cubby houses for grown ups, I say. And here’s Lucy, … More Vintage Caravans Meet Up in Shellharbour
My darling sister-in-law and sweet friend, Vivien, took her life on Sunday 2 August. I write about Vivien on my other blog Every Cloud has a Silver Lining. Suffice to say, the last few weeks have been a traumatic and profoundly sad time for the Robson family. After the funeral, Justin and I grabbed Lucy, … More Canowindra Calling
I thought it was cold, but I didn’t know it was THAT cold. We found out after we got home that we had experienced the coldest weather in 60 years during the weekend we headed to Shellharbour. We’re selling our VW Golf now that we have a new Subaru Forester SUV to tow the caravan. … More Chilly weekend in Shellharbour
