A road trip around Australia opens up so many possibilities when it comes to where to park the van. It could be a free campground in the middle of nowhere, a clifftop spot with the ocean below or a sprawling cattle station where the sheep have the best views. Some of our most memorable stays … More Station Stays around Australia
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
“Life isn’t about the destination. It’s about all the wild stuff that happens along the way.” That couldn’t be more true for me at the moment. We’re currently on a road trip, Doug and I. And it’s a big one. We left Melbourne a week ago, on Friday 3 July for Mildura, staying by the … More Closing Gates and Crossing Borders
It was the phone call that changed the course of our holiday. I rang the caravan park a week before Christmas, by chance someone had just cancelled their camp site. It was for the exact five days we wanted. Otherwise we would have gone back to Corryong in the High Country, one of many fire … More Innes National Park
I was recently asked by my blogger pal Plotlessone whether I’d been to Kangaroo Island. I’ve been twice, once before we had kids and more recently with them. So this is a great excuse to post on a place that I absolutely love. Australia’s third largest island, 13kms off the mainland. If you haven’t seen … More Wild about Kangaroo Island
Has anyone heard of an air-boat? Or been on one? I hadn’t until we boarded Elka a fortnight ago. We were camped along the Murray River in Renmark and decided we’d had enough of watching the water skiers and jet boat riders. It was time for some action of our own, for some serious fun … More Elka on the Murray
There’s something about bridges that fascinate me. Especially ones that open to let vessels through. I guess they’re just not the norm. Hundreds of cars and trucks drive across this bridge daily but when a request for river passage comes through it takes priority. Road traffic stops. The control mechanism is switched on and the … More Bridging differences
I’d go back to Lincoln National Park tomorrow, if I could. It’s a bit far though. About 1400kms too far! It was one of my favourite places on our recent trip to the Eyre Peninsula. It’s rugged, unspoilt and has a bit of everything. Here’s a snapshot of our time there and why I … More Loving Lincoln
