TAWK - Discounts

Caravanning with Kids, also known as Adventure Awaits, have got so many wonderful products that really support TAWK! AND offer TAWK'ers a 10% discount on their fabulous items!  Use the code TAWK10.  See all their items here.

This Family run business was born after Wayne and Adele took some time out with their children for a family trip that changed their lives.  And we are glad they did!

Their website not only gives some simple ideas and tips for your travels but also has a shop with so many great products that you really didn't know you needed....YET!!  We sell their 'must have' Travel Journals.

Now here is a great idea and surely a 'Must Have' on your trip. 

The BBQARM. Australian designed and built on the Gold Coast, this space-saving innovation simply mounts to your caravan drawbar or rear bar to create a sturdy ‘out of the way’ place for your BBQ!  It's a perfect table for your nibbles.  It can also be a coffee table.

We are so happy to have them on board the TAWKer Supporter Program as owners Tony and Kylie are also TAWKers with a young family.  In fact it was Kylie's desire for a neater campsite and Tony's need for less packing up (and I think we can all relate to both of these - Mandy from TAWK!) that the idea for the BBQARM was born. TAWK Members will get a 10% discount - please use the code TAWK10.

With their great tow-hitch mount, you can use your BBQARM whenever and wherever you travel.  It's so easy to set up and pack away and it's tidy! 

Have a quick look at the video below for more and visit their Facebook Page or Website for more information. Please support this small Aussie business supporting you!

They call it the Camper's Bible and we could not agree more!  On our trip we definitely called it our Camping Bible.  Although back then it was the Camps 5 edition! Everyone we met had a copy and it was an essential part of our trip planning.

You simply cannot beat sitting around a campfire with fellow campers, going through the book, making notes and swapping stories on places you have been and recommending spots to each other.  Personally I prefer to do this than sit on my mobile device.  (Although of course they do have an App too!)

You can choose from the Easy to Read Camps 10 edition with Camps photos - helps to give you more of an idea of where you might be staying - with larger maps OR the popular A4 Camps 10 without photos. PLUS if you also stay in Caravan Parks, you can buy a CAMPS 10 and the Caravan Parks 5 and save with a Travel Pack.

• 100% researched and updated
• Family owned and operated 
• Fast, free shipping Australia wide
• Not just a guide to camping spots
• Easy to use and comprehensive guide
• Long list of site facilities
• GPS coordinates and site access details have been expanded
• Sites overlaid onto HEMA maps

We recommend you click here to find out more and work out what 'Bible' suits you best AND get your 15% discount all in one fail swoop OR if you know exactly what you want head to their website and pop in the discount code CAWAFTAWK.

How about this for a great idea....  Hair in a Van!  When we were on our travels I often thought what an opportunity this would be for hairdressers to go on the road and work as they travel. Julie and Gav have decided to do just that - and they have even geared up their van to operate just like a salon! Great for your haircuts, styles, colours, perms etc.   If we'd have seen them on the road, I would have definitely taken the family for haircuts, especially to support another travelling family.  

Make sure you follow their Facebook Page and their Instagram account to find out where they are and where they are going next. You can always message them directly to find out too.

Hair in a Van would like to offer TAWK Member's a 10% discount when you show them your TAWK Membership Card. Please support them as they support you, cutting camper's hair one town at a time!

How about this for an innovated idea!!  AND it could save travelling families heaps on the road as you swap your way around Australia!!  Now there's a win win concept. 🖤

It is a booking webapp so you can all stay on each other's property while travelling for free!!! And it’s just launched, open and ready for you to join up now.  Obviously you keep your van somewhere, so you might have space available next to it OR when you are out and about using your van, the space could be available for another family!

This is the idea of a fellow TAWKer and their solution to a lack of free camps in some areas by using your own resources you can help each other travel longer! 😍

Now, you do need to nominate a property to share with others and it needs to be large enough for a caravan set up and safe for a family to stay, with some privacy. You have total control of who stays at your property and you have direct contact with each member. Plus there is the a review system and strict rules in place to make it run smoothly for all like minded campers 

Basically, creating a community of like minded hard working Aussies who are ready to change the way we travel, all working towards this goal to make travel more affordable.

They already have some amazing properties already listed, in highly sought after holiday destinations, and their goal is to cover every area in Australia.

They are offering free membership while it builds for 6 whole months!!

I am sure you can see how this could really work and if you would like more information - everything you need to know is on their website - click here and find out all you need to know.

My oh MY!!  This is one product that I so so soooo wish was around back in 2010 when we did our trip around Australia! I could just not get the hang of the whole snorkel tube, blocked nose and mask coordination and frankly did not enjoy the snorkelling on the Ningaloo and Great Barrier reefs, which should have been the experience of a life time!  The Ninja Shark full faced masks would have changed that for me. You can check out my experience in detail here.

Andrew and Allizee from Ninja Shark realised this was a difficulty for many people and so embarked on a journey to ensure that breathing and experiencing the world underwater would be as easy and stress free as possible.  Not only for nervous Nellies' like me BUT how easy is this for the kids too! Ohhh this is one must take item on your trip around Australia! So easy for the kids to use and again more relaxing for us parents!

Luckily for us; Ninja Shark are now TAWKer Supporters and so you guys get a 10% discount!  Use the code TAWK10 at checkout on the Ninja Shark website and save.  Support this Aussie owned and run business as they support you.

We were very happy when this TAWK family reached out to become TAWKer Supporters as they wish to offer TAWK Members a discount on this very important aspect of travelling! They run a mobile vehicle weighing services called OVERLOADED Mobile Vehicle Weighing & Safety - where you can find out more information on their services.

They weigh vehicles, caravans, horse floats, boat trailers, motorhomes and trailers. Being TAWKers themselves, they currently live on the road, travelling Australia to offer their service and educate road uses about the importance of vehicle and tow weights.

They would like offer TAWK families a 10% discount to encourage them to have their rigs professionally weighed prior and/or during their travels. They believe the more travellers they can educate about vehicle and tow weights, the safer our roads will be and we could not agree more!

To find out where they are and to find out if and when they are near you, follow and like their Facebook Page.  Please support them supporting you.

What a great idea! Ride with Us is a local, family-owned business providing bike hire in the Great Ocean Road area. If your family loves to bike ride, but were unable to bring them on your trip, then this is for you and being a TAWKer Supporter, get 10% off the whole family’s bike hire.

Enter TAWK10 in their online booking system.

Hire your bicycles from Ride With Us in Port Campbell, Timboon or Cobden in Victoria and make your way along one of two recreational bicycle trails. They really have thought about the whole family with a range of ebikes, mountain bikes, children’s bikes and toddler carriers and they are pet friendly too!

Trail 1: Ride the quiet Camperdown to Timboon Rail Trail on Ride With Us bikes, and discover the tall forest, historic bridges and open farmland. This rail trail is a hidden gem in the Great Ocean Road region.

Trail 2: The 12 Apostles Trail is a 20km bicycle path which takes you from Port Campbell to Timboon and connects with the Camperdown to Timboon Rail Trail. A brand new scenic bicycle trail which meanders through farmland in Timboon to the coast on the Great Ocean Road at Port Campbell.

Both trails are recreational trails which makes them ideal for a family bike ride.

So when travelling along the Great Ocean Road, or driving interstate between Melbourne and Adelaide, ditch the car and get out there in the fresh air with your family and support Ride with Us as they support you.

Ride With Us also have bike transport and taxi service with baby car seats and booster seats available on request.
