Summary

Sharyn Tregonning wants a holiday somewhere glamorous for her 60th birthday. So when her husband Barry surprises her with a caravan trip from Adelaide to Broome, she is furious – and bitterly disappointed. Even worse, both Barry's annoying friend Ray and Ray's frumpy sister Kathleen Allenby are also coming along.As the end-of-life carer for three family members (and at war with her mean neighbours), Kathleen has become anxious and reclusive. She doesn't expect this trip to offer her much. Sharyn has always looked down on her, and Kathleen has never liked her (or her bitchy friends).But as a series of mishaps and accidents, overflowing toilets and destination disagreements test boundaries and fray tempers, the two women share a bottle of gin and begin to bond over the highs and lows of caravan life and their irritation with their menfolk as they travel through the magnificent Kimberly towards magical Broome. When a dead body surfaces at a luxe resort, it brings their grudges and hurts out into the open, and the women realise that it's not just the men's future – or behaviour – that needs to change.
