    NT -Thanks for the Memories

    So, last time we chatted, we had just entered the NT and were talking about the road conditions. Well, they have gotten a little better,we have decided that now it was a deliberate collection of patches, much like a dot painting of a serpent, when you viewed it from the air. We have also tried…

    Into the NT…… a whole new world…. read on below

  • We Are All Alone.

    We Are All Alone.

    Broome had been good to us, but it was time to hit the road again

  • HOT HUMID AND WET, WITH A CHANCE OF A CYCLONE IN THE AFTERNOON

    HOT HUMID AND WET, WITH A CHANCE OF A CYCLONE IN THE AFTERNOON

    Well, by now, you would have heard of cyclone Zelia, currently category 4, probably 5 by this time tomorrow. Now imagine yourself in a tin can in a hot, humid caravan park in Karratha, where you are here for 2 nights, this was Monday when it was still a tropical low, just North West of…

  • 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…

  • G’DAY QUOBBA

    G’DAY QUOBBA

    Mate, Strewth and Good on ya! Our journey north continues, after a pleasant but warm night in Carnarvon, where we made good use of the pool, freezer and camp kitchen.  We trundled on up the road, before turning off to head into the Quobba blowholes, a place we hadn’t visited since before it got popular…

  • IT’S GETTING HOT IN HERE

    IT’S GETTING HOT IN HERE

    Driving north, the distant plume of smoke on the horizon began to grow, turning that dark grey that could only mean one thing…… Bushfire!. But it’s not uncommon up here, where the Milli Milli grow, and the outside temp is currently 45°C. The bitumen is quietly melting as we drive onwards, with the road so…

  • IS IT A WASTE OF TIME?

    Time spent enjoying doing whatever it is your doing, can never be a waste of time So it’s 2025,and  life has changed dramatically for the inhabitants of ‘Little Bus’…… first thing is that we don’t have jobs any more, Yep that big R word, no longer suffering the 4:30 AM alarm and dragging one’s weary…

  • 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…
