  • SEA, SALT- n -SAND

    SEA, SALT- n -SAND

    CORAL BAY Well, Coral Bay surprised us, not so much it being empty but that we actually for once sat still for almost 48 hours! It’s in our nature (well, mine anyway) to keep moving, doing stuff, and always looking for something to do. So with nothing happening, we actually wound down, slowed down. And…

  • Wildlife Unlimited

    Kangaroo Island, Fleurieu Peninsula and back into the bush Last time we were on the ferry bound for Kangaroo Island,  the crossing was smooth, and after disembarking, we headed down to Antechamber camp ground managed by the National Parks. This is right on the beach, and arriving on dusk, we bounced down the steep track…

  • Red Rattler, Heavy Horses and a Ferry Ride

    Back onto the coast means sea, sun and sand….or as we had it…..wind, sea, and more wind, with the occasional bit of stunning scenery and then some more wind. And it’s not just ordinary wind, this is needle wind, that kind of piercing wind that goes straight through the 4 layers of jumpers and coats…

    Baked Apples, Misty Mountains and a Koala.

    Wineries are great and all, but can be a little pretentious at times. All trying to outdo each other,screaming, look at me , look at me, look how grand and expansive I am, and therefore, my wines must be really, really good. But it’s not all about size,as the saying goes. It’s not how big…

  • CLOSURE

    This is the second time I’ve done this post because some numpty (aka me)  deleted it before I uploaded it so excuse me if its slightly out of sequence. After having a nice quiet night in Ippinitchie campground, we woke and headed in towards todays objective, Port Pirie. We took in the little town of…

  • Rust n Ruins….

    Bowman Park has been many a thing in its time. 1850’s pastoral lease, campgrounds, government flora and fauna reserve and more but today it is simply a free 48hr RV park, adventure playgrohnd for kids and function centre with old 1850’s derelict buildings. It’s a shame as it has such potential to be more, think…

  • A Most Remarkable Day

    So Baroota ruins campground is on the west side of the Southern Flinders Ranges, once a homestead from the 1800’s now it is barely a shell of it’s former glory.  But there is a nice small, somewhat expensive camp-site that consists of about 9 hard gravel spots, and a long drop loo. For which they…

    Adventure North

    So it was early in August and we were thinking of our next adventure. Having endured some cold spells looking for wombats on the Eyre Peninsula (but had thoroughly enjoyed it) and our local weather requiring multiple layers of clothing, we thought “Let’s go somewhere warm this time”. We had heard that Darwin was a…
