From the country to the coast. We left Mount Larcom after three hot, humid but happy weeks of catching up with our daughter. Our next stop is Yeppoon, though not before more dramas with the car fridge. A reliable car fridge is a must when you’re on the road full time, especially in the hotter … More Highlights of Yeppoon

After crossing the Nullarbor, Ceduna and falling in love with Our Patch at Perlubie Beach, for 16 amazing nights, it was … More Campsites and Moody Blues on the Eyre Peninsula

I’d seen drone photos of popular Perlubie with lots of vans and campers parked along its long sandy beach. We’d heard a-lot of stories about tides and cars getting bogged but … More Our Patch at Perlubie

Whilst the Eyre Highway, aka the Nullarbor, can be done in a much shorter time (the record is 24 hours), I reckon this quintessential Aussie road trip deserves to be taken slowly. We … More Nine Nights on the Nullarbor
