With two adults, six kids, three dogs and one cat on board, even a 12.5m converted bus is a tight squeeze for the Honeyman family. But they say the freedom and life experience it allows are invaluable.
Travelling in a 12.5-metre converted bus sounds like it would leave you quite a lot of room.It's been four months since they packed up their lives in Ballarat, Victoria and hit the open road in their converted motorhome.
Other than a few difficulties finding caravan sites that will accommodate the bus, Donna is loving the journey so far."We're doing it because we think that the children will have more life experience," she said."So we thought one-on-one time with mum and dad and showing them what the real world has to offer could be better than sitting in a classroom."
"Height becomes a problem quite often with parks that have trees and bushland, especially when they're smaller parks with very tight roads to get through. "We found a couple of places we thought were okay and then were woken the next morning to the local council asking us to move on."While double the size of a standard caravan, Jeremy believes there are more bus-sized vehicles like theirs on the road."Many years ago, the thought of driving a big heavy-haul bus sounded like more hard work than a holiday.
