We are 2 fun loving Aussies in our sixties who enjoy adventure and travelling.
Do you know or have you hosted this user?
We are looking forward to a 6 month road trip in the US in March. We will pick up our truck camper in Georgia and plan to head south to catch up with some friends from last year's trip then west through Texas and up to the Pacific north west.
At home in Australia we have a 2008 Northstar 850 SC on the back of a Toyota Landcruiser. We have travelled extensively throughout Australia and love spending time in the national parks and outback as well as the beach and surf. Like getting off the beaten track but realise there will be plenty to see in some of your cities.
We are looking forward to meeting the locals in the US and learning more about your culture, history and traditions including music and food. Also keen to experience some of your sporting events.
Skills & Expertise to Share
Computer skills are not our forte but we get by with the basics. I can turn my hand to most practical home handyman jobs with a satisfactory result. Di is an excellent cook and enjoys all types of handicrafts.
Favorite Boondocking Locations
This is our second trip to the US after having spent 6 months travelling there last year. We met some very friendly and welcoming Boondockers and are looking forward to some new experiences this year. In Aus, we have free camped extensively in our travels, having taken the truck and camper 20,000km around Australia 2 years ago.
Dianden's Hometown
Our home is on 5 acres at Cornubia, which is just south of Brisbane, Queensland, about 45 minutes from the Gold Coast. A major shopping centre is about 10 minutes away.

Too fun and too short!
I only had them as guests for a few hours overnight as they were headed to N.O. and had to be there at a specific time. What a nice, friendly and patient couple to listen to my boring stories for an hour! Hope they can visit again for a few more days.

Great couple from down-under. I enjoyed their stay with me. I wish them the best during their stay in the U.S. You will be happy you hosted this couple

Two G'days!
DianDen were fun to have as our guests for two nights. They are respectful and courteous, and they'd lend a bit of "Aussiness" to your life! We enjoyed swapping stories, sharing dinner and laughs, mixed in with some music and beverages. After we gave Dennis ukulele lessons, we're hoping that the next time they pass through, he'll be able to join the band and we can all hit the road together@ It was our pleasure to have them, and we hope they stop back again next time they're in our neck of the woods.
THE GROVE
Hot damm oi got me a real Australlan
It's people like Diaden that make being a Booncocker host a real pleasure.
They see good in our culture and we learned from theirs. Glad they enjoyed venturing about Florida Space Coast and our Grove.
Of course, we highly recommend this Ausie couple to be your guest.
