I'm looking for other people who have travelled with very young children. My husband and I are looking to do the trip around oz with our 2 boys in May/June this year. At that time they will be near 2, and 3 years 2months of age.

i am looking for other people who have children at similar ages that are travelling for long periods of time, mostly so that I don't feel like the only crazy person for doing so.

Most people around me think that we are crazy for doing this trip with our kids so young, but our house is already under contract and we are keen to go. So does anyone have any positive feedback, and useful suggestions on coping with this young age?

Here are just a few of my personal concerns:

* Containing the kids in order to prevent them from running off.
* The kids handling the lack of toys to play with, but them not being of age where they can do any one activity for very long.
* Travelling tough routes - eg cape york, gibbs river road etc.
* spending more time doing what keeps the kids happy, rather than also exploring things of interest to my husband and I. for eg. parliament house, museums and things that don't hold much interest to a child. Are these the type of things that I should just expect to miss out on, or have to ditch midway at times?

Any tips of suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Regards
Jackie
