It’s been over a month since we returned from our epic trip around Australia, a trip that morphed from three months on the road to ten. Not only did we journey through the centre of Australia and the length of the west coast, but it took me through a bit of an inner journey of … More Changing Course in the Grampians
As we settle back into Victoria after our epic ten months travelling around Australia, I reflect on our time away and how grateful I am for it all Looking back it’s hard to know where to start so thank goodness for this blog which allowed me to journal our adventures. With so much wow factor … More When the Journey Changes Direction
After leaving the moody blues on the Eyre Peninsula coastline we head inland and begin our adventure in the Gawler Ranges. Our first stop is Wudinna, pronounced Wuddna, as said a truckie on the UHF radio coming into town. It has a nice vibe, there’s a huge statue of The Australian Farmer, a scenic 30km … More Exploring the Gawler Ranges
Cliff top camps, rugged ocean views and a roller coaster of emotions was all part of my stay on South Australia’s Eyre Peninsula. Here’s a lowdown on our time along this wild woolly coastline. 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
After leaving Ceduna we continued along the South Australian coastline, with a rough plan to check out Perlubie Beach before heading to Streaky Bay. 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
The Nullarbor is one of the longest and straightest roads in Australia. Some say it’s also the most boring but I disagree. 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
Our journey continues as we leave The Duke at Orleans Bay and head back to Esperance. We meet up with our travelling friends Sue and Steve again and are invited to spend the night in the front yard of their friends property. It’s been a while since we’ve camped on lush green grass, with an … More Kalgoorlie, Lake Ballard and a Camp Kitchen at Menzies
There’s something about the West coast of Australia that draws you in like a magnet. A warmness that invites you to stay longer. It’s the same in Carnarvon. We’re practically on the most western side of Australia, thousands of kilometres from Victoria, yet I feel so at home here. With a population of just over … More Four Days in Carnarvon
I love this sign that greeted us at the Purnulu National Park Visitor Centre. “How lucky are you to be sleeping under a million stars instead of five.” Lucky indeed! It seems that wherever we go on this trip the Universe has our back. Here in Purnulu the night skies are clear and the stars … More Our Bungle Bungle Adventure
We were there for six nights, but for five of them we couldn’t leave our caravan site. Once we’d crossed the WA border, due to a single case in the NT and a snap lockdown, we had to self isolate. Our only outing was to the hospital to have ‘the test’ Wyndham is one of … More Five ways to be wowed at Wyndham
