At Caravanning with Kids, we’re always celebrating the little wins – from making it to your next stop without a meltdown, to discovering that perfect hidden campsite. But sometimes, there are big wins worth shouting from the rooftops. And right now, we’re bursting with pride because our sister store, Adventure Awaits, has been showered with awards and recognition for doing what we love most – sharing quality products and inspiring Aussie families to hit the road.
For those who might be new here, Adventure Awaits is our bricks-and-mortar and online gift store in Numurkah, Victoria. What started as a pop-up shop with a handful of quirky finds has grown into a vibrant destination for travellers, families, and gift-givers from all over Australia. Our shelves are packed with Australian-made products, Map of Australia Stickers, caravanning and camping essentials, Kids Travel Journals, Caravan Log Books, and even our Aussie-invented Pegless Clothesline. Every single product is tried, tested, and loved – and that authenticity is exactly why we’ve caught the attention of industry experts and award judges alike.
Over the past few years, Adventure Awaits has been recognised nationally and internationally, picking up titles like:
- Top 10 Best Australian Camping Blogs & Websites (2025) – thanks to the Caravanning with Kids blog you’re reading right now!
- Excellence in E-Commerce (Winner, 2022) – proving a little rural business can take on the big guys online.
- Retailer of the Year (Winner, Caravan Industry Victoria, 2022) – an incredible nod to our dedication to caravanning families.
- Bricks & Mortar Retail Excellence Award (2023) – celebrating our colourful little store in regional Victoria.
Not bad for a family team from country Victoria, right?
But here’s the thing – these awards aren’t just shiny trophies for our shelves. They mean that what we’re doing is working. That our focus on authenticity, family values, and quality over quantity is striking a chord with Aussie families who love caravanning, camping, and travelling just as much as we do.
We often say caravanning is magic, and it’s true. But running a business like Adventure Awaits is a kind of magic too. It’s the magic of a community that supports local, of customers who keep coming back because they know they can trust us, and of a team that pours their heart into every order, every blog post, and every interaction.
If you’d like to dive deeper into the full story – including all of our awards, milestones, and what makes Adventure Awaits tick – we’ve pulled together a big celebration blog over on our main site.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of this journey. Every sticker on a caravan, every travel journal filled with doodles, and every campsite pegged with our clothesline is part of the Adventure Awaits story – and we couldn’t do it without you.
