  • When Is A Highway Not A Highway

    When Is A Highway Not A Highway

    So today is the 8th March, and it is our last day in the NT, and the last 48 hours have been memorable, to say the least! We have previously talked about NT road conditions, but yesterday, they took it to the next level.  When most people hear the word “highway” they think of a…

    We Are All Alone.

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

    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…

  • 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…

  • There and Back… A Journey Home.

    Mount Gambier is perhaps the biggest town we encountered outside of Adelaide. So it’s a great place to stock up, reset before venturing on again. We arrived just after the annual migration of motorhome/ caravan owners for the CMCA meet up with lasted a week this time, so the place had probably had enough of…

    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…
