Tilly’s Australian Adventure Tilly’s final wish is to travel as much of Australia as her health allows.

We laid our beautiful Warrior Princess Tilly Sloman to rest on Thursday 17 April after going home to be with Jesus at 4.47am on Sunday 13 April 2025.

She fought cancer so bravely for almost 2 years until her body could not fight any longer. We are so proud of our Warrior Princess - her smile, attitude and s***k despite her illness was an inspiration to so many and we were blessed to have 20 years with her.

We will continue traveling this amazing country as she wanted us to in her honour.

The following song was played in honour of Tilly - Our Warrior Princess: Dancing With The Angles by Monk & Neagle

Can we please ask our family and friends to pray for Tilly? She was admitted to the Esk Hospital last night. She is showing signs of of her body giving up. Can you please pray for her to have a will to live and restoration of her physical body? Also, the Doctors would know the best way to help Tilly. We are believing for God to complete the miracle work he has begun.

One of our followers picked up the signs we had made for the car. We got these done quickly theough vistaprint at a great price to help start conversations. There are a number of followers who we met through our journey and we are so blessed to have met everyone and had our lives enriched by each of you.

Through this page, and Tilly’s travels, we want to share a message of HOPE!

Tilly has battled through an incredible journey and defied medical science not once, twice… we are starting to lose count. In fact, that she made it to the end of our trip and we are planning more is a major defiance!! We chose to enjoy and celebrate each day we had together and to make the most of each moment. With thanks to amazing support we were able to make some of Tilly’s dreams come true and are planning more travels as we had to miss some due to time and cyclome Alfred.

We want to share that only you know you and your willingness to beat the odds. Never lose hope or give up. Keep fighting and use the support networks around you no matter what you are facing.

Because no one with hope ever regretted having that hope!

We will see you all soon with our next adventures ☺️

The last few days have been a little quiet as Tilly hasn’t been well. We want to do a shout out to Gabby and Caroline at Buderim Chiropractic for helping Tilly with their gentle wellness therapy which did help quite a lot.

To use up some energy, Jax and Jasper entertained we took them for a walk around the lake near camp with cranes and black swans then onto Alex Beach for a bit of a play in the sand.

Through the whole trip Tilly kept reminding us that she wanted to visit Tom's Confectionery Warehouse. We finally got there and Rob was Tilly’s proxy on the human claw machine! She has a huge haul to eat now 🍭. Surely that will put some weight on 😜

After 5wks, 4 states and 9565km, we finally rolled back home.

Thank you to everyone who has followed our epic stage 1 of Tilly’s Australian Adventure. While Tilly is still with us the adventures will continue…

Stay tuned!

This morning we had a little surprise for Tilly. We couldn’t arrange a sunset cruise be ause the winds were up a bit last night but Andrew and Heidi from Dolphin Ferry Cruises arranged a special trip for Tilly this morning and even allowed Jax and Jasper aboard 🛟. It was a fabulous boat ride - perfect weather, amazing scenery and just the absolute best company.

Jax and Jasper took to their new challenge of gaining sea legs really well. I think they might be sea dogs at heart💙

If you are in Tin Can Bay, check out Dolphin Ferry Cruises. You won’t be disappointed!

After docking it was time to get back on the road to our final destination of our trip - Sunshine Coast. Today was one of our shortest days of driving which was just as well as we were excited to see Nanny and Poppy and Nanny Joy when we arrived!

We walked to the nearby park on the water so Jax and Jasper could chillax and we could catch up a bit before we headed off to setup camp at Alex Beach Cabins and Tourist Park for a couple of days before we headed off home.

Today we all got up super early to go to the Tin Can Bay Dolphin Centre where they feed the dolphins every morning. The team here work so hard to protect these gentle creatures and it was such a privilege to be able to get so close to these wild dolphins. The team were so thoughtful of Tilly and we ended up having a chair so Tilly could sit while Ella the dolphin came up to Tilly. If you ever have wanted to get close to a dolphin, make the trip here and support this team doing great things!!

Jax and Jasper had a walk with Ms Jasmyn while we were with the dolphins and not only explored parks but even had their own splish splash party 🎉! They loved every minute but I think Jasper reckons he’s done his allowance of exercise for the month 🤣

A quiet afternoon for Tilly to have a rest then watching a brilliant sunset over the water. We have been so incredibly blessed with amazing weather!

Yesterday we left Turkey Beach to head to Tin Can Bay (and to leave the midges!! - they apparently love ‘fresh meat’ 😂).

We stopped at Hervey Bay to visit some family and Tilly got some time with baby E who is 10 months and we hadn’tyet met - such special moments. Aunty Neen even made Tilly awesome cupcakes with her favourite colours! So special 🤍

While at Hervey Bay we had to visit the iconic Urangan Pier. Unfortunately Jax and Jasper were not allowed on the pier so Rob took Tilly for a quick walk.

We pulled into Tin Can Bay around 5pm and set up camp at Tin Can Bay Tourist Park. Such a beautiful and well set out park! Dinner of steak and salad with an early night to be ready for adventures that Tin Can Bay has in store for Saturday.

Two beautiful days of resting at Turkey Beach and Tannum Sands. We decided to venture out this afternoon to Tannum Sands as we had a beeak from some showers and have some fish and chips by the beach. Well… the eain might have gone but the winds were up a bit. Sorry for the dodgy photo but one take was all we could handle before we abandoned the idea and went back to the shelter of 4 walls!

Lots of kangaroos hanging around here. Jax hasn’t decided if they are friendly yet!

On the road again tomorrow. See ya then!

See ya Airlie Beach 🏖️ - thanks for the awesome memories! But it’s time to keep traveling on our road trip to see what new adventures are in store for us.

We headed back down the Queensland coast going through the same towns we did only 5 days ago. With the recent rain of the past 24 hours the towns look so different! From crunchy brown grass to lush green shoots everywhere.

We arrived in Turkey Beach late this afternoon. Truly a hidden gem 💎 of a town. Looking forward to kicking back and relaxing for the next few days here with some swimming, reading, crocheting for Tam and just general lazing around!
