OM DENNE EPISODE
Debbie bought a franchise over the phone, rented a house over the phone, and drove to a town she'd never seen.
Years later she's stopped for a while at the Peaceful Place on the Fraser Coast, with a dishwasher in the van and a bucket list that still has the Nullarbor on it.
At the end of this episode, we pause for 60 years since the Aberfan disaster in Wales. Read more here:

In this episode, Debbie takes us from Lithgow to Hervey Bay by way of a Brisbane coffee shop, a caravan, a breakup and a month-to-month stay that turned into home. We hear about Darwin on a New Year's Eve whim, the bling in her van, why van life means there's always someone to say g'day to, and her plans for the Gibb River Road and a trip across the Nullarbor. And her take on the future: "Got more summers behind me than I have in front of me."
Stopped for a While is an audio-only storytelling podcast of travel yarns from the caravan travellers who pull up at the Peaceful Place on the Fraser Coast, near Hervey Bay. Brought to you by MacMouth Media. Music by Ben Clayton.
