Some excellent progress in Bronte the bus over the weekend. It feels like we’re on track! The main bedroom is taking shape, the plywood walls are going up and the interior walls for the bathroom have now been built (that’s @littleearthstories standing in the shower area). The boys are super excited about getting their bunk beds built soon and today gave their Nana a guided tour of the bus! Stay tuned for more updates. ~ Keiran.

Looks amazing already 🏼
@ourbeachdream Hey thanks so much Maria! It’s really satisfying to see it coming together as envisioned!
Great job K! Very exciting
@naysidaisy Thanks so much Ren! A long way to go yet, but the dream of enjoying #buslife seems a little closer every day!
Great work, really taking shape. You’re very talented. Love seeing it’s process, thanks for sharing mate @keiranlusk @talesfromthewild @littleearthstories
@natt_loui Hey thanks so much Nat! My carpentry skills are definitely reliant more on determination than talent, but I am pretty excited to see it taking shape as imagined!
@talesfromthewild mate you got the skills, very inspiring. Just great for you, Sam & boys. Your dream is becoming reality with every day. Keep it up! So good to see.
It looks amazing!! Keep up the good work and have a good time:)
Looks awesome!
Looking fantastic… how exciting!!!
You guys are doing an amazing job!!
Oh this is getting so very exciting! That is the most beautiful internal wall Ive ever seen. A looks as though hes ready to trial the new bathroom
I like that you have the emergency window hammer already to go and there are no windows in Bronte just yet
Oh my god!! Serious progress!!!
@miaowthecat Ha! Thanks! Pretty happy with the progress. But it feels like it’s taking forever!
@smithyai Always prepared for the unexpected! Hehe! Actually, the hammer has an alarm on it that I couldn’t be bothered working out, so it’s staying connected on the wall as a piece of genuine bus memorabilia.
@kittymcfurson Thank you cuz-in-law! Yes, there have been lots of pretend showers, standing in the new bathroom area! The boys are getting excited now that furniture and walls are being built!
@the.whitty.one Thank you! We’re pretty happy with the progress so far!
@themotherofreinvention Thank you! It’s great to see the interior taking shape at last!
@bearthebus Thanks so much!
@milo_a900 Thank you most kindly!
Hey Keiran, the husband was asking me this morning about buslife and what your plans are. Eg – is it a long term living arrangement – will you park it somewhere and keep regular type jobs? Are you parking it at friend’s houses – and would it be viable if you didn’t have friends Also, when you make it down here wanna come visit?
@the_minor_key Hey Alex. Plans? We need plans for #buslife? Hehe. It’s all pretty loose and unformed as at this stage. So. We’re not quite sure how we will fund our bus life. For starters, we will hover around Brisbane and Sam will continue to work for a period of time. Then, who knows? There’s talk of working online (I do web design + social media and Sam is a whiz-bang editor) otherwise we might just pick up odd jobs and temporary assignments (I would love to do the odd stint as a park ranger, my old job). Sam and I both love solitude, so are hoping to find some quiet ‘free camping’ spots wherever we go (not sure how successful we’ll be with that). We are aiming to be totally self-sufficient in the bus with energy/water etc, as caravan parks too expensive and cramped for our liking. No set plans for where we go and for how long, it’s more about the lifestyle, slowing down, living simpler and spending more time in nature. Our end goal is either a bush block in Tassie or NZ, so we will definitely be visiting eventually! Stay tuned! 🙂 Keiran
