Today's travel photo is of the view from the top of Mount Panorama in Bathurst, Australia. Bathurst is home to Australia's premier car race track which winds its way up and over Mount Panorama. When it's not race time the track becomes a normal road. When we visited we drove our campervan along the race [...]
Australia is without a doubt one of the most diverse and interesting countries to visit in the world. There is a lot to see, from interesting cities to amazing natural wonders, but it is also an expensive place to travel. One of the best ways to see it (and one of the cheapest) is to [...]
Today's travel photo is of an old house and water tank at sunset in the small town of Yunta in outback South Australia. We stopped here for the night during the long drive from Perth to Brisbane last year, camping out next to the railway line in the town's recreation area which allows over night [...]
Today's travel photo is of Loch Ard Gorge - part of the spectacular coastline of the Great Ocean Road in Australia. Loch Ard Gorge is named after the ship, Loch Ard, which ran aground near here in the 1870's, leaving only two survivors that washed up on the beach in this rugged gorge. This is [...]
I just love a city that has lots of green space and a big area set aside for parkland, right in the middle of the city. Perhaps the reason for this is that I grew up in one of these cities - Perth in Western Australia. I have lots of childhood memories of picnics and [...]
Today's travel photo is of a vineyard at Jacobs Creek Winery in the Barossa Valley, South Australia. I really wish we could have spent more time in the Barossa Valley; not only is it Australia's premier wine region, it is also an absolutely beautiful place to visit. As we were short on time and we [...]
Today's travel photo is of the view from Eucla in Western Australia at sunset. Eucla is about as far east as you can go in Western Australia, located only 12 kilometres from the border with South Australia. In fact, it isn't even on the same timezone as Perth. When driving along the Eyre Highway before [...]
Today's travel photo is of an old pub in the historic town of Glen Innes in New South Wales, Australia. Sitting high up on the New England Tablelands, Glen Innes has a lot of beautiful old Colonial buildings to check out. This old pub is apparently the oldest hotel in town, dated 1860.
Today's travel photo is of the road to the South Flinders Ranges just outside of Port Augusta in South Australia. We took this road while driving across Australia to short cut across from Port Augusta to the Barrier Highway. I had never visited the area before and discovered a very beautiful and picturesque area of [...]
When it comes to spicy food, I'll try it. It doesn't really matter what it is. If it's got chilli in it, I will probably give it a go. I just love the stuff. I love the flavour; I love the sensation it leaves in my mouth. I even love the look of it. So [...]
