If you've been following me on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, you'll probably know that I'm currently driving back across Australia from Perth to Brisbane. This is a quick trip, but we are still enjoying it and camping along the way. Today's travel photo is of our camp last night, camping under the stars just outside [...]
It seemed as if we had been driving non-stop for weeks. The long drive across the Nullarbor had really tired us out, and now that we were finally in Western Australia, we were dying to find somewhere quiet to relax for a couple of days. From Norseman, we headed south towards the coast. Although I [...]
Driving along the road at 110km per hour, I look out at the view through my windscreen. Around me there is nothing but stunted bushes and dry earth all of the way to the horizon, with not a single tree in sight. Ahead of me the straight road seems to run forever, disappearing into a [...]
As the sun rose over the sea at Point Lowly, we packed up our camper van to hit the road again, heading south-west to continue our exploration of South Australia's Eyre Peninsula. There was hardly a cloud in the sky as we headed into Whyalla, which was no surprise since the town receives three hundred [...]
We left Golden Beach on the south coast of Victoria, Australia, with the intention of only having a short drive to our next camping spot on the Morwell River. The drive took us to the small town of Boolarra where we took the Morwell River Road along the forested valley. When we reached the first [...]
It had basically been nonstop driving since we left Queensland. We had seen some amazing places driving through New South Wales and into Victoria, basically stopping at a different place every night, but it was now starting to wear us down. We needed to just stay put somewhere for a couple of days to recuperate, [...]
Since we had unexpectedly headed north again to Glen Davis, we had to head south towards Bathurst instead of west like we had planned. To make the most of it, we decided to take the back road through Sofala, a historic town from the old gold rush days. Gold was aplenty around Bathurst during the [...]
There wasn't a lot happening around Wisemans Ferry, and all we really got from our camping spot was a whole lot of mosquito bites, so after a quick breakfast and a shower, we packed up and continued on our journey. Our path today wouldn't really take us very far south, but instead on more of a westward direction as [...]
The van rocked and strained as I edged it through a gutter that had been carved through the dirt road by the rain. Although it was dry now, at sometime in the recent past there must have been heavy rains that had washed away much of the top layer of the road, and all that [...]
Leaving the cool mountain air of the New England Tableland behind us, it was time to continue south and head down off the highlands to Australia’s country music capital – Tamworth. I personally have no great interest in country music, but since we had to pass through this country city anyway, I thought it would [...]
