    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…

    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

    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…

  • 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…

    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…

  • 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…
