    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…

  • 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…

  • The Yorke

    We go coastal, see some art, slow down, step back in time and get blown away ….. literally. We decided that we would do the Yorke Peninsula, and instead of giving you a blow by blow we thought  ….. ” hey why not just give you the highlights? Working along the west coast from Moonta…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…
