26th September – 5th October We headed east from Lake Grace, (I know, we’re supposed to be heading west) through Lake King, another salt lake, and slightly more pink than Lake Grace, then south to Ravensthorpe. They have the wildflower show here every year, and though we knew we had missed the show, we …
The Port Lincoln Tourist Park has to be one of the best caravan parks we’ve stayed at to date. The sites are huge, level, and well-spaced, offering great views of Spencer Gulf from most sites so we were pleased to be spending eight days there. We used Port Lincoln as a base to explore …
Adelaide So, we finally made it to Adelaide, and what a lovely city it is. We booked into the Belair National Park Caravan Park, which is right next door to, you guessed it, Belair National Park. The drive up to the caravan park was interesting, with narrow winding roads (though nothing like Tom CAT …
Wilpena Pound is one of the locations on Peter’s wish list. I’d never even heard of it, but before we had even arrived, we were in awe of the scenery we passed. Low rolling hills bordered with high rocky escarpments. Just beautiful. Still within the Flinders Ranges National Park, Wilpena Pound (Ikara) is an …
When we arrived back at Tibooburra, we went straight to the Police Station to collect Chunky Bum. It was then that we were told of a possible Covid-19 exposure in town. Not a lot we could do about that, so we stuck to our plan and drove two kilometres out of town to the …
On our way back from Cameron Corner, we stayed at Fort Grey Campground in the Sturt National Park. Because we had left Chunky Bum (caravan) in Tibooburra, we had our first “camp out” with Big Ears (Ford Ranger) on this trip. Now, Big Ears is fully set up for off grid camping, including water, …

You really can’t come this far north-west NSW and not go to Cameron Corner. Sure, there’s nothing there but a survey marker, but where else can you stand on the corner of three states? Apparently not at Cameron Corner, because you can’t cross any borders. Not unless you are lawless folk like us. We …
Ok, I mentioned the birds here at Gundabooka a couple of times, but apart from the Emus, I haven’t shown you any. Well, I spent many, many hours stalking these tiny, little, flighty, annoyingly fast birds who would appear in a flash, only to disappear as soon as I lifted my camera to my …
Gundabooka is a remote park south-west of Bourke, the first National Park on ‘The Darling River Run’. Driving on dirt roads is not always smooth but we enjoyed it. We took our time and enjoyed the scenery, avoided wildlife and missed most of the washouts and rough patches of road, but it was impossible …
Peter has had a bit of a craving for scones for a while now, so I thought, why not try them in the camp oven. Never done it before, but we’ll give it a go. If they work out, all well and good, if they don’t…well, we could both do with losing a bit …
