Ironically, these days she’d quite like him to speed up a little.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBev and her better half, Kev, have packed up their vintage caravan and set off on the great Australian road trip. Their destination? The Kimberley. Their estimated arrival? Anyone’s guess. With Kev doing 70 in a 110 zone and stopping at every lookout, termite mound and historical plaque along the way, Bev has had plenty of time to finish her crossword, make another cuppa and question a few of her life choices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eNot that she’s just along for the ride. Bev is the finest backseat driver in the country, and she does it all from the front seat. She tells Kev when to brake, when to stop, when to check his mirrors, when to indicate and when he’s missed the turn. Again. Kev calls it nagging. Bev calls it navigation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eNow, Bev loves a good adventure. She’s got a carefully planned itinerary and every gorge in the Kimberley circled on the map. There’s just one small problem. Her dodgy knee has other ideas. Every walk Kev promises is “just a short one” somehow turns into a 10-kilometre trek, usually uphill, with absolutely no shade and a sign at the end saying the lookout is closed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBut Bev’s no quitter. She’ll soldier on, complain about her knee the entire way, and then tell everyone back at the caravan park that it was absolutely worth it. After a cuppa and a good sit down, of course.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhat Bev really wants is to reach Col and Riva’s Campground. She’s heard all about Riva’s famous homemade bikkies and Col’s legendary barramundi, which was apparently this big. Bev couldn’t care less how big the fish was. She’s been dreaming about those bikkies since Kununurra, and if Kev suggests one more scenic detour, she may very well unhitch the caravan and leave him at the next roadhouse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBack home, Bev is the proud mum of Bindi and Dusty, our original little koala doe and buck. She stands a little taller than her 13cm kids at \u003cstrong\u003e15cm\u003c\/strong\u003e, because someone in this family needs to be able to read the map.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBev is a limited edition heirloom koala doll, designed in Australia and crafted in our signature Rugaroo plush style. Her hidden magnetic hands are made for holding a cuppa, a crossword or a very firmly folded map. Dollhouse compatible and made for small-world play, she invites children into imaginative adventures inspired by family, friendship, travel and the great Australian outdoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhether she’s planning their next stop on the Ocean Road Play Mat, putting her feet up at Col and Riva’s Campground, or reminding Kev that reversing the caravan would be considerably easier if he listened to her directions, Bev brings warmth, humour and a whole lot of Australian character into every playroom. She’s a perfect gift for Mother’s Day, for nans, and for anyone who has survived a long road trip with someone who refuses to ask for directions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eShe’s seen the sights, walked the tracks and survived thousands of kilometres in a caravan with Kev.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNow, for goodness’ sake, can someone put the kettle on?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Rugabub","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50630105366693,"sku":"TGN  01 BEV 001","price":61.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0495\/1100\/6373\/files\/bev-grey-nomad-koala-doll-rugaroo.png?v=1791669373","url":"https:\/\/rugabub.com.au\/products\/bev-the-grey-nomad-koala-miniature-plush-doll","provider":"Rugabub","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
