    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…

  • 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…

  • A Valley Called Clare, and Who Actually is Owen?

    So, after the Yorke it was good to get back to some normal bush and by that, I mean a tree that’s at least over 2 metres tall! Don’t get, me wrong coastal scenery can be spectacular but me thinks I prefer the bush. The area east of the Yorke in Mid-west South Australia, is…

  • Killing Time

    So basically we spent the day in Wallaroo, a sleepy little place on the copper coast, travelled down from the top of the Yorke after spending the night in an even sleepier, smaller 1/2 horse town.we got here about lunch, and were hoping to catch a silo lightshow where they project films/ pictures up on…

  • 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…

  • 1877 a good year for Beer

    So to start off after the Alligator Gorge we spent the night in a little parking area beside the road. Plenty of birdlife to keep us entertained, and had a very quiet night. The thoughts where that next morning we would do some walks around Mt Remarkable, so in we drove about 10km to a…

  • The Indian Pacific- Across Australia in 4 Days

    The Indian Pacific- Across Australia in 4 Days

    With bleary eyes we clawed into consciousness, stumbling awake, on a Sunday morning when the alarm came on, and though it was tempting to turn it off, roll over and drift back to sleep, it was with a sense of excitement that we crawled out from the warmth into the cold early morning. Today was…

    Adventure North – New Territory

    Crossing the Border, we finally enter the NT. Take a walk back in time at Joes Creek, swim in hot springs at Katherine, Mataranka and Bitter springs, watch Brolgas walk through town, and get surrounded by Butterflies

    Adventue North – To the Border and Beyond

    Waking up to bird song always makes for a pleasurable start to the day, well usually unless your trying to sleep in….(and some noisy little critter is chirping away about how pretty the sunrise is and that he made it through another night and how he so glad to be here in his little patch…
