After much dreaming, planning and preparation, November 9th was finally here! The Big Day when Glenn, my dear girlfriend Carla and I left Melbourne to move permanently to Cape Tribulation.
We drove three vehicles: Glenn in Alena Star Bus, myself in the Mustang and Carla in her SUV.
The day began with a mammoth truck load-up on the morning of the 9th, with everything we were taking with us. Glenn’s friend Dave kindly helped us with Glenn’s Harley, our other personal belongings and the MTE office – all were safely packed in.
I am continuing to run my Melbourne Airbnb property, but for now it was time to say goodbye to it – because who knows when we will ever be back again? We had stuff stored there in the attic roof for months since moving out of Patterson Lakes.
Then we started the looooonnnnnnggg drive! 3000 kilometres.
On The Road – Day One
It took hours to make our way out of Melbourne through all the traffic and our first night stop was in Euroa, by the river. A gorgeous little spot. We have been so fortunate the entire time travelling in Alena Star Bus to miss the floods that have been ravaging Australia.
Only a week before in Euroa, much of this caravan park had been underwater, but now the water had subsided.
This was the first night for Carla and her little doggie Katut in the tent, and it was the perfect setting for all of us. We were exhausted from the mammoth push it had been over the last few weeks of organising all of our lives to be able to leave Victoria.
On The Road – Day Two
Then the next morning we started driving again. Personally, I was really feeling it. I was recovering from pharyngitis and still wasn’t a hundred percent, but this wasn’t the time to rest. I wished I could have just sat beside Glenn in Alena Star Bus and caught up on work – but I had to drive, I also had to produce little videos for MTE at our rest stops and had some work commitments every morning and night.
Time to woman up! Lots of vitamins, energy boost healthy drinks and all else to help stay awake whilst driving.
We made it to Sydney day 2. We stayed on the outskirts, it was industrial landscape, not exciting, but it allowed us to do what we needed to do – which was rest and keep driving.
On The Road – Day Three
Then at day 3 we arrived in Bucchan Heads NSW – another beautiful spot. It was lovely to sit outside in nature and get some work done. The kitties, the troopers they are, were loving everything about this trip. Especially checking out the wildlife from Alena’s cabin.
On The Road – Day Four
Day 4 was Nambour, Queensland, a little over half way. Another beautiful little river spot. The kitties had a little ‘outy’ as we call it – some time fully supervised outside of the van – until Ruby became very interested in the bush turkeys, and they were rounded up and put back inside (They are incredibly good with this)!
On The Road – Day Five
Day 5 was at Rockhampton Queensland, a nice park for the sleepover. No incredible river frontage, just a sleep over. I had the joy of doing a Facebook live there with you, my wonderful community!
Katut was unfortunately ill there and kept Carla up all night with vomiting and diarrhoea. She said that this had happened before and was probably due to him eating things that he shouldn’t, whilst travelling in the car with her.
He seemed better in the morning. Carla is incredible stoic and strong, and she said she was fine to keep driving.
On The Road – Day Six
Then Day 6, we arrived in Bowen, inching closer to our destination. Such a long drive. I was getting past the exhaustion, thank goodness, finding my groove and getting excited – we all were!
Katut was much better, and the kitties had another pleasant little ‘outy’.
On The Road – Day Seven and a Set-Back
Day 7 trouble struck! Alena Star Bus broke down. Noises started happening in the wheel area. Glenn trusted his gut and thankfully we were in Innisfail when it happened. It was serious – a wheel bearing – and could have been incredibly dangerous.
We felt so blessed that it happened right in front of a tyre and wheel repair centre. We could have been on the open road miles out of nowhere.
Glenn stayed overnight with Alena Star Bus and the kitties, and Carla and I drove to a cabin park with Katut.
On The Road – Day Eight
The next morning, we had the bad news. Alena needed a part that had to be ordered in and could not be fixed for 2 weeks. So thank goodness we had two cars! Carla’s was loaded up to the rafters with her stuff and mine was empty. In scorching heat, we started transferring all that we could from Alena Star Bus into the Mustang.
Our little furbabies, in their usual cool manner just thought it was fun to now be with Mum and Dad sitting on the back seat of the Mustang in amongst all our stuff!
Then we drove straight to our new home.
It was surreal lining up to cross on the ferry – you can only access Cape Tribulation by ferry.
On the other side of the ferry, up the coastal road, it is so lush and green you would think that you have entered Jurassic Park. You can feel the oxygen, nature and lifeforce – it’s beating and palpable.
Driving up the driveway to our new home, I could hardly believe we had finally made it. 8 Days on the road. 3000 kilometres of driving. Far out!
We’re Here!
I love it. Every day I pinch myself at the beauty. The vibe. The lovely little local community. I feel like I have come home. All three of us felt called to this place and feel like this.
It’s off grid – we are on diesel and there is a water bore. We have two residences and a restaurant. This is a massive project, for Glenn to run the restaurant and for me to globally train people in Quanta Freedom Healing, in person, in the gorgeous conference centre above the restaurant.
I can’t believe this place is mine! There is so much here it would take me hours to photograph and explain.
Here is just a little piece!
Presently, we are all flat-out busy renovating, painting and setting up. We are living on mattresses without furniture on the floor – but we couldn’t be happier!
I can’t wait to later on share the startling transformations we are going to make – the before and after photos!
Living The Dream
Please know your dreams are possible.
When you partner with you, on the inside, life starts presenting ‘more’ on the outside. The synchronicities that led to this destination and outcome were totally divinely orchestrated.
I want you to know, from my heart to yours, if you wait for the ‘absolutes’, the ‘failsafes’ and for ‘seeing every step’ then you are not alive, you are not living life to the full and you are not Thriving.
We are all called to clear out our trauma, live in our heart space, let Source flow through us, and trust our intuition to follow where we are called WITHOUT knowing the next step, other than the first one that lights up your spirit.
This is what I do.
If it wasn’t for Quanta Freedom Healing, I know I would still be stuck and trying to control everything from lack and fear, rather than living in flow, expansion and joy.
(Actually, I wouldn’t even be alive.)
I wish true Thriver Living for all of you and this is why I am always banging on about the Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Program (NARP) to help you get there! Without NARP I never could or would have done the things I’ve done!
Thank you for sharing in this epic adventure with me, and I’d love to hear about your adventures and where you feel your soul is calling you to go!
I love it!
Well done… and those cats are beautiful!
Thank you Think Freely,
they are very special!
Mel 🙏💞🦋
Beautiful pics, Mel! Your joy is radiating so much I can feel it. Thank you for sharing with us.❤️
Hi Victory,
thank you!
That’s awesome you can feel this!
It’s my pleasure and lots of love to you
Mel 🙏💞🦋
Thriver = Melanie Tonia Evans…Enjoy!!! oxoxox
Hi Susan,
Sooooo lovely to see you!!
Miss you darling. We must talk soon!
Mel 🙏💞🦋
Hi Mel, thank you for being you. You and NARP have changed my life. How do I learn to be a Quantum Freedom Healer? I feel called to do this. How do I learn? Are you taking students at your new retreat?
Hi Alisha,
Im so happy that NARP has helped you so much.
Absolutely I will be talking early next year about QFH training.
Yes I will be training QFH healers at the new retreat.
Mel 🙏💞🦋
Precious and inspiring share thank you Mel. All the best to you all in your beautiful new home. I look forward to visiting one day.
Hi Pietta,
we would love to have you!
Please do visit one day.
Much Love
Mel 🙏💞🦋
Dear Mel, I kind of got a big hit way back when you first started traveling ( the day you sighted those dolphins during our Super Thriver session) that you were destined for living in the country! I mean, you just looked so “lit up”! You always do, but this was something extra special! I’m just so, so happy for you!!! And, thank you for being such a fabulous role model for us all! Wishing you and Glenn and Carla so much blessing, happiness and contentment in your new homes and new chapters! 💝🌈
Hi Sage,
thank you for your gorgeous words and support.
So much love to you from all of us!
Mel 🙏💞🦋
How brave and courageous of you all to do such a journey. ‘Feel the fear and do it anyway’ – and you did. Brilliant inspiration for us all to follow our dreams!! Thanks for sharing 🌸🌸🌸🌸👍
Hi Jacqui,
thank you – I am loving every minute of this!
It’s my pleasure and thank you for your lovely words.
Mel 🙏💞🦋
To see your face in the final photos, the joy and the expansion, made me grin wide. And my heart smile just as wide. I’m so happy for you; this home, this Place. Welcome
Hi Narelle,
from my heart to yours.
Thank YOU
Mel 🙏💞🦋
What an amazing adventure!!! Leaving the boring 9 to 5 slog behind is everone’s dream. Youre living it! You look like you’ve struck gold! I couldn’t be happier for you -sending you all lots of love and plenty of blessings
Thank you Jenny,
I’m very grateful for your beautiful words!
Mel 🙏💞🦋
Hi Melanie, congratulations on your new property! What a beautiful story of your journey, and I am glad that you shared the pictures and the Facebook live during your travels! Thank you for your above words that if you are partnering with yourself on the inside, everything on the outside will start to present itself more. This is just what I needed to read today!
Thank you Heatherlynn,
I’m thrilled this inspired you today.
Much love
Mel 🙏💞🦋
Awwww Mel . Beautiful and inspiring. You all look amazing. Am really happy for you, you deserve this. It’s a big step but a divinely inspired one. I follow a lot of amazing Spiritual Teachers. I’ve done Neale Donald Walsh’s mentoring program and been mentored by him personally. I am in Humanity’s Team and regularly do the Masterclasses with Greg Braden , Bruce Lipton and a host of amazing teachers and they are all so profoundly needed and Divinely inspired to help us all up level: I do the physical work. Love Qigong and Yoga and the spiritual aspects of those. Breath work all of it. Love it all and all so needed in everyday life. Your work though is very very special to me. Something in it that encompasses EVERYTHING . I am so excited that you are preparing for training. QFH needs to be in mainstream. It should be accessible to all streams of life. Anyone that has any type of pain or dis ease, block, stick, trigger, anything. I believe your work is the key to unlocking the door for humanity . I have a particular interest in childhood trauma in adults and how it is driving the bus but most people don’t know it. I have a dream to do your training and develop a niche with it with your mentoring to help people I love understand what is going on in their lives and help them heal and love the best life they can, seeing these pictures makes me so happy. You are so deserving. On the last SuperThrive meeting you shed a tear, I really felt it. Understood your tears because I had them too. For me I knew that the journey with NARP has ended , gone from trauma based healing into something else. I believe QFH has far reaching potential. Into everyday lives, not just people that have been subject to Narcissistic abuse, but people that are living their lives in quiet desperation or mundaneness. QFH has the potential to shift everything for everyone, love you very much and so so so happy for you. Big Love. Ramona xxx
What a beautiful and inspiring story of possibilities, trust and following your highest wisdom. On the weekend my husband and I made the commitment to move from Melbourne, and this story is very timely for us.
Hi Caroline,
I don’t blame you – we were done. After traveling and feeling the difference we couldn’t stay on.
Melbourne is not what Melbourne once was.
Best wishes and much love for your journey ahead.
Mel 🙏💞🦋
Ramona sweetheart,
thank you for being such an ambassador for QFH!
I so agree with you that the applications are endless.
So much love to you darling and I can’t wait to meet you in person one day.
Mel 🙏💞🦋
You helped me a lot.
I hope the future you find, is brilliant.
I lost all my furry creatures, in the last month, Barron Von Black Cat, and Pepper McKitty, to
Old age.
Love of cats, is respect for creatures, who do not tolerate narcissism, they after all, are the ultimate narcissist, who domesticated whom?
But
they never hurt us, unless we teach them to, or we deserve it. good luck
Hi jb,
my heart goes out to you with the loss of your kitty companions.
So true, cats really are our owners!
Mel 🙏💞🦋
It looks as if all the Trials were worth reaching Tribulation. Best of luck in your new home!
They sure were Vicky!
THank you!
Mel 🙏💞🦋
Dear Melanie:
I’m so happy you made it. This reminds me of my 4 day trip 3 years ago, driving from NYC to Los Angeles, where I am now staying. I traveled all that way with my beloved kittie, Sheba. What are trooper she was, as well! (Sadly, she passed 2 years ago here in LA).
I wish you, your friends, and animals, much blessings in the days ahead and gratitude for all you do for those around you.
Dearest Regards,
Kevin Trainor
Awww I love Kevin that you traveled with your kitty!
Much love to you and furangel Sheba
Mel 🙏💞🦋
Thank you for sharing your beautiful journey with us Mel. And we finally got a glimpse of Glen! Gorgeous! And I love that you teamed up with your girlfriend Carla as well. What a beautiful little family you created. I’m so grateful for your life and your healing. My calling is to move from New York to L.A., but my son is only 11, and I don’t want to rip him out of his environment and away from his dad, friends and beloved soccer club. I have not yet found clarity on this question about how to live my life freely while also taking care of my son’s emotional needs. I love him so much and want what’s best for him. That gives me a lot of joy. Thank you again for being a shining beacon on my path to healing and thriving. Love you xo Yasha
Thank you Yasha hun!
Your time will come sweetheart – absolutely!
Mel 🙏💞🦋
Thank you Mel for your inspiration, and sharing! Super excited for you all. Whow, you are a living, doing, manifesting example for all of us!!
My gratitude to you in my long slow journey of recovery and thriving.
Lots of Love
It’s my pleasure Catherine,
I really do wish Thriving for all of us!
Mel 🙏💞🦋
Dearest Melanie, you did it! Well enjoy your achievement you all deserve it. I truly wish for all of those who choose to turn their lives around to thrive and go for their dreams even in small steps at a time. Hope that you settle in well and that things run smoothly. Bless you all.
Thank you so much Ameena!
Mel 🙏💞🦋
Melanie I am so excited for you and everyone with you, and by extension for all of us!!!
Congrats!!!
Amazing to see what unfolds when you keep bringing in the light and following it upwards!!!
I have learned and continue to learn so much from you. humbly, thank you so much for being such an inspiration.
This place reminds me a lot of Hawaii, where my spirit is, I have just returned after visiting after a 7-year hiatus and it was such a cleanse and balm for my spirit there!!!
Namaste can’t wait to see more!
Hi Elle,
how sweet of you!
It really is a tropical paradise, soooo wonderful for the soul.
Much love to you Dear Sister
Mel 🙏💞🦋
Mel, I’m coming to see at Cape Tribulation… it’s just a matter of when… I can feel it in my bones
Ohhhh, Robyne darling,
can’t wait!
Mel 🙏💞🦋

Love, love, love this 💗 Thank you for sharing your inspiration with us, Mel, and huge congratulations to all three of you as well as your brave cats and little Katut.
Quanta Freedom Healing is helping me dig deep and I’m seeing glimpses of the thriving future I want.
Your timely news reminds me to keep breathing, trusting and expanding into new horizons.
Deep love and gratitude 🙏🕉💗
Hi Stephanie,
thank you Dear Lady and I am so thrilled for you that you are breaking through!
So special!
Keep going – with NARP, shifting out trauma and bringing in the Light – because that is where all amazing things come from – within!
So much love to you
Mel 🙏💞🦋
Hi Melanie! Wish you all the best time ever coming in your lives! I also moved in November, only 140 kilometers, but nice place too.
Thank you so much for being here for us Mel!
Thank you so much for bringing me back to source! Just all this information from you helped me out of hell. ❤️
You are an angel for me.
The loving God, Krsna, should always bless you and your future and your family around! 🙏
With love Birgit ♥️🌴🍀🌹🍀🌴♥️
Thank you Birgit,

Mel 🙏💞🦋
Fantastic Mel & Co
You all look so happy!..
Well done hunnies!
I recently sold up North and moved to the South of France..
My husband has healed his severe skin conditions and I have never felt better.
A New start A New healthy life ahead for us all.
So much love & blessings . Big hug. .💜
Ohh Julie,
how gorgeous you are creating a new life too!
It really is time for that for many of us.
So much love to you darling Lady and your hubbie.
Mel 🙏💞🦋
So beautiful!! I wonder if that bad wheel bearing was your left front, the one where that tire wore out unevenly seemingly because of the wind when crossing the desert. I was worried about that wheel and should have said something.
A restaurant!! That is hard work. You should invite guest chefs to give you two some time if you need. I would love to bust out my Spinach Enchiladas with the smoked green chile and fresh tarragon sauce and coconut cardamon flan maybe.
So inspiring and exiting to see this and think about all you will create there! I can see gardens and solar heated springs of living water filtering through beautiful gardens.
Blessings to You!
Hi Doug,
yes it was – that is exactly what we thought too. Sooo much strain on that wheel.
Haha Doug we would love to have you and see you bust out that dish.
We are really blessed that Glenn is an incredible Chef and is like an octopus in the kitchen – he is a beast!
Yes it is going to be paradise – a lot of work but we are up for it!
Mel 🙏💞🦋
Congratulations dear Melanie 🧡and thank you for sharing! 🙏🏽🍀👏🏽

such a beautiful post.
Thank you for your blessings and please feel mine to you!
Mel 🙏💞🦋
Such a beautiful journey, cried the whole time reading it. Touched my heart and soul. I wish for this in my life so very much; the true love and support you have for each other. And to have your husband and best friend, the trooper beautiful kitties with you and Carla’s dog, is absolutely what I crave and long for, loving, healthy relationships. And to enjoy life and every blessing along the way. So wonderful that Glenn will run the restaurant and you have your business on the upper level. Then, to be surrounded by love from your patrons and by nature. Thank you for living life, having true love in your life, and sharing it with us.
Much love and many blessings to all of you.
Awww darling A,
please know this can be your life too!
I wish that for you SO much!
Thank you for your heart sweet Angel.
Lots of love and blessings to you
Mel 🙏💞🦋
CONGRATULATIONS dearest Melanie and Glenn! I am so happy for the both of you and your dear friend Carla to have realized the opportunity to live your dreams and helping save humanity while you are at it! It’s been such a joy for me to read about your travels, the kitties, the ups and downs. Grateful no harm came to anyone! Thank you for sharing with us.
NARP saved my life – literally. Follow-on programs with you were unequivocally essential to my survival. I heard this from so many of people taking the class as well. Your work is so so needed.
I remember from a Super Thrive class that you had said you had plans to be able train people on how to teach the QFH technique and I new right then I wanted to one day do that. I hope, one day, to make it out to Cape Trib and be trained by you and eat Glenn’s food too! In the meantime, sending love and prayers as you, Glenn and Carla build your dream! XoXo
Hi Beth,
thank you for your beautiful post!
Awww darling Lady we would ADORE to have you with us training in QFH!!!
Yaya, I am so excited for this in 2023 and meeting so many of our Thriver Tribe personally.
P.S. you will LOVE Glenn’s food!
Big love to you sweetheart
Mel 🙏💞🦋
What an epic adventure and just love that the pets were all in tow! Wishing you all the best settling into your new space and look forward to seeing your beautiful transformation Mel. Cheers to a happy home 🥂🔑🎉
Hi TS,
yes the little cheekies!!
They really do add so much richness to our experience!
Thank you for your well wishes.
Much Love
Mel 🙏💞🦋
Congratulations on your move. I’m sure this will be quit an adventure. I remember when I moved from the suburbs of Missouri to a small farming community in Illinois. A lot challenges, but well worth it.
Will this be the destination for your healing retreat center? I hope one day to join you there. I am a practicing Thriver and am always trying to up my level of Thrivership. I’m so excited to go 5D. Working on it.
Good luck to you and yours. And many thanks for all of your help in my journey to heal. Much love to you.
Hi Mary Ellen,
thank you!
Yes this is the destination – and there couldn’t be a more perfect one!
We would love to see you here.
Much love to you Mary Ellen and I love that you are going 5D.

Hello Mel.It’s a joy to see you reaping the rewards that you so richly deserve.You have definitely helped me beyond measure to find my own extreme happiness and beautiful new life .Without you I could not have pulled through the terrible things that I was living through. Can I ask without meaning to be intrusive how your son Zac is doing ?.I hope he is doing well.Good luck with your exciting new venture and endless gratitude for helping me to not only survive but to thrive.Be very very Happy. You are a guiding light.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hi Shelly,
thank you for your lovely comment!
I’m so thrilled for you that you have broken through!
Zac is still in Melbourne and pursuing many of his own interests at the moment. Cape Trib wasn’t for him and that is totally okay!
Much love to you Shelly
Mel 🙏💞🦋
