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
From Hopetoun we head to the Duke of Orleans Bay, a coastal stretch of wilderness and one of WA’s most beautiful beaches. There we strike up a few connections, both new and old. … More Connecting at The Duke of Orleans
Once again it feels as though the Universe is guiding us. Soon after we leave Denmark, bushfires rage through and around the area. We’re unaffected. And the day after we visit Wyllie Bay in Cape Le Grand National Park there’s a shark attack not far from the beach we swam at, literally 24 hours earlier. … More From Wave Rock to the South West Coast
Our two nights at Parry Beach campsite near Denmark are a real treat. With the beach only minutes away and tropical bushland surrounding our camp site, we have the best of both worlds. For the first time in ages it’s cool and we’re allowed camp fires, so it’s wonderful to sit and share laughs with … More From Cheese Tasting to Cliff Hugging – Denmark to Albany
From Bunbury we skirt around Perth. It’s still school holidays and everywhere on the southwest coast is busy, so we’ve booked a farm stay at Big River Station in the Margaret River region. It’s a peaceful spot and we spend three relaxing and very enjoyable days there. From there we travel further south to where … More From Bunbury to the Forest Giants
I’ve been keeping a diary for most of my life. On and off I pen musings, memories, what’s happening at the time, places I’ve visited and people I’ve met. I’ve chronicled heartaches, joys and silly stuff I’d have otherwise forgotten. And I’ve often poured out my heart and vented on paper when times were hard. … More Gratitude for the Journey
As we say goodbye to 2021 and this coastal community we’ve lived in for the past two months I reflect on our time here and the year that’s been. Slowing down, choosing to work whilst holidaying and immersing ourselves in this beautiful town has changed the feel of our journey. Slow down and enjoy life. … More Farewell 2021 and Goodbye Kalbarri
